Yesterday morning we did a small private signing with Yankees pitcher Darrell Rasner. Rasner has been tearing it up this year and is arguably their most consistent pitcher. Despite a 3-2 record he boasts an impressive 2.67 ERA and is one of the main reasons why the hot and cold Yankees have remained afloat in the competitive American League East. With those kind of numbers it became obvious that we had to add Rasner to our current Yankees projects (the ones I have been working on since spring training). Darrell came up for about an hour and half. I could tell from the start that he would be extremely easy to work with. The signing flew by as he actually had more questions for me than I had for him. The guy is definitely one of the better stories in a very strange young baseball season. Aside from the special projects (which should be completed within the month...much more on these in the coming weeks..) Darrell also signed some robust items including MLB baseball and commemorative Yankee Stadium balls. We have been getting those commemorative balls signed by every Yankee over the past few months. They are the same balls being used at Yankees home games. As strong as they are individually it would make a great gift or item to pair up a bunch in one of our cases.
I know the blog had hit a stalemate for a while but the coming weeks should be as strong as any we have ever had...so keep checking back as I am going to try to keep you all up to speed daily.
