They will already need to clear one roster spot for a reserve infielder, so I doubt that they will DFA a second player to bring up Tomko. And if they really want to bring up a non-roster player as the long man, what about that Japanese guy with the 0.00 ERA?

I didn't see much of the game, I tuned in just in time to see the umpires try to restore order. The Mexico - S. Korea game last night was pretty good, did anyone else see it?

Still unnecessary, but not as dangerous. Lindstrom threw behind the runner’s rear, not over his head. Still unnecessary, but not as dangerous.

Sometimes you do get blood from a stone. Either way, Tomko doesn't factor into the Yankees long-term/significant plans, so I wouldn't waste time worrying about it. [4] Johnson, and even some players, still seem to be treating this like an exhibition. Hopefully, the commitment from the U.S. continues to grow and catches up to some of the other teams over the next couple of tournaments. Also, Lindstrom was way out of line throwing over the head of the Netherlands hitter. That's not the way to represent your country. [1] The same could have been said about Aaron Small in 2005.

I expect him to show up at some point this year, to be honest. Someone in that front office is infatuated with him, and as long as he remains unsigned, I hold my breath.

And yes, I know every team does it. But Its so annoying to watch your team try to get blood from a stone. Tomko is the type of pitcher the Yankees should avoid, but for whatever reason, never do.
