Rule 5 consideration

Lance Pendleton. Yankees. Here's a good write-up of a couple of prospects from River Ave. Blues that they considered worthy of consideration of adding to the Yankee's 40-man. Of the four, the Yankees added only one, Ryan Pope. 

Pendleton spent most of last year in AA tasting AAA for the first time. He seems to have acquitted himself pretty well. I like his scouting profile. For the lazy, here's the summation:

Starter, 27, low-90's fastball, curve, change, from Rice so of course he had Tommy John surgery.

Also of note, this Rice website would have us believe that back in 2005 Lance considered his favorite music artists to be MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. 2005. Either he's crazy or has balls the size of the peaches he so dearly loves from the Rice servery. EIther way tells me that he could stare down Lance Berkman and throw a low-90's fastball with the expectation that he'd strike him out. Go get 'em, Z. He's waiting.
