The kid from J.P. could be toiling in the Bronx in 2012. Amazingly, the Yankees signed former Red Sox reliever Manny Delcarmen to a minor league deal. The contract also includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Since he left the Red Sox, we have been rooting for the local kid to do well with the Rockies, et.al. Now, however, we have to hope Delcarmen (pictured here at left along with a young fan and Curt Schilling) reverts back to the form we saw at the end of his Boston career.
