Shawn Chacon

New York Daily News - Baseball - Chacon could be on the way out

I'm not surprised the Yankees are considering designating Chacon for assignment.

I watched the 2nd inning on Tuesday, and he was throwing 85 MPH. With his lack of pinpoint control, he cannot consistently get out major league hitters.

He's been so bad that I can't think of a pitcher who would give less.

I'd expect the Yanks to spot start Villone beginning Sunday and try to stretch him out to fill-in. (Start Sunday, in five days throw a simulated game, in five more start)

That would put Villone on schedule to pitch his first game as the new #5 start on either the 18th - the 5th day following the ASB - or th 19th.
