Yankees add four to 40-man roster

Got this press release from the Yankees:

The New York Yankees announced today they have signed right-handed pitcher
Scott Patterson to a Major League contract and added catcher Francisco
Cervelli and right-handed pitchers Jeffrey Marquez and Steven White to the
40-man roster.

Patterson, 28, was 4-2 with two saves and a 1.05 ERA in 44 combined games
(three starts) at Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in
2007. Over 77.1IP, Patterson struck out 92 batters and walked just nine,
surrendering only one home run while holding opponents to a .164 batting
average (45-for-274). He led all qualifying Trenton relievers in ERA (1.09),
strikeouts (91) and opponent’s batting average (.170), helping the Thunder
capture the Eastern League title. He was originally signed by the Yankees as
a minor league free agent on June 17, 2006, after spending four-and-a-half
seasons pitching in independent leagues for Gateway (Ill.) of the Frontier
League (2002-05) and Lancaster (Pa.) of the Atlantic League (2005-06).

Cervelli, 21, hit .279 (81-for-290) with 24 doubles, two triples, two home
runs and 32 RBI in 89 games with Single-A Tampa in 2007, earning mid- and
postseason All-Star honors. Defensively, he led all Florida State League
catchers with a 41 percent caught stealing rate (41-for-100) and a .997
fielding percentage (2E, 743TC), having entered the 2007 season rated as the
Yankees’ “Best Defensive Catcher” by Baseball America. Over the last two
seasons (2006-07), Cervelli batted a combined .289 (123-for-426) with 34
doubles. He was originally signed by the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent
on March 1, 2003.

Marquez, 23, was 15-9 with a 3.65 ERA (155.1IP, 166H, 80R, 63ER, 44BB, 94K) 
in 27 starts with Double-A Trenton in 2007. He led all Yankees farmhands in
wins and innings pitched, recording the second-most victories in Trenton
franchise history. In his lone postseason start, Marquez tossed 7.0 scoreless
innings (4H, 1BB, 3K), earning the first-round series-clinching win vs.
Portland in Trenton’s march to the Eastern League Championship. Selected by
the Yankees in the first supplemental round (41st overall) of the 2004
First-Year Player Draft, Marquez is 35-32 with a 3.40 ERA in 89 career minor
league games (86 starts) over four seasons.

White, 26, was 7-4 with one save and a 3.38 ERA (104IP, 98H, 45R, 39ER, 34BB,
66K) in 18 combined games (17 starts) at Single-A Tampa and Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2007. He also made seven appearances (three starts)
for the Peoria Javelinas in the 2007 Arizona Fall League, going 0-1 with a
6.23 ERA (17.1IP, 12ER, 6BB, 11K). In four minor league seasons, White has
career record of 28-25 with a 3.64 ERA in 81 games (79 starts). He was
selected by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2003 First-Year Player
Draft.

The Yankees roster now stands at 39 players.
