[新聞] Villone to DL ; Bruney up

[Ksp (敬請期待我的暱稱)]

DETROIT -- Brian Bruney rejoined the Yankees on Friday at Comerica Park,
re-inserted as a bullpen member after spending more than two weeks with the
club's Triple-A affiliate.

The call couldn't come soon enough for Bruney, who had a 3.40 ERA in 50
appearances for New York before being optioned on Aug. 7. He didn't take the
demotion well as he left Rogers Centre in Toronto, but had a more level
outlook upon his return.

"I work here," Bruney said. "I'm an employee. I do what I'm told. I'm still
going to do my job wherever I'm at. Obviously, I was upset, but who wouldn't
be?"

Bruney, 25, was brought up from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when left-hander Ron
Villone hit the 15-day disabled list with a mild lower back strain.

The Yankees are optimistic that Bruney may be able to give them more length
as a result of his four-appearance Minor League stint. Bruney went two
innings in his final relief appearance for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

His previous high this season was 1 2/3 innings on May 27, though the club
had tried to coax him through two innings on other occasions only to lift
him.

"Hopefully, it's more of a weapon," Yankees manager Joe Torre said.

Part of the Yankees' rationale for sending down Bruney revolved around his
control, which proved erratic at times. In 23 appearances from June 3 on,
Bruney walked 17 in 16 2/3 innings, striking out just eight.

The Yankees briefly instructed Bruney to try throwing from the windup to help
his control, a tweak that he said he feels comfortable with, though he
bristled at the idea that he was having difficulty throwing strikes.

"I'm a reliever," Bruney said. "I can't come in and set it on a tee for a
guy. If that's what you want, I can give up hits all day, but sometimes I've
got to try to get a strikeout.

"You throw pitches that you think they're going to swing at, that not
necessarily are strikes. You try to make them look like them. The walks are
high, but it's not like I don't know how to throw strikes."
