July 29, 200323 yr ATLANTA (AP) _ The New York Yankees traded right-hander Dan Miceli to the Houston Astros on Tuesday for a player to be named or cash. Miceli, 32, was taken off the Yankees' roster Friday when he was designated for assignment, clearing a spot for Nick Johnson to come off the disabled list. Miceli will be joining his ninth major league team, his fourth this season. He is 1-3 with one save and has a 4.02 ERA in 34 games and 40 1-3 innings with Colorado, Cleveland and the Yankees. He began the year with the Rockies, going 0-2 with a 5.66 ERA in 14 games, then was released May 11. He signed with Cleveland four days later and was dealt to New York on June 25 with outfielder Karim Garcia for a player to be named. Miceli also has pitched for Pittsburgh, Detroit, San Diego, Florida and Texas, going 34-41 with 33 saves and a 4.73 ERA in 482 games over 11 seasons.
July 29, 200323 yr Ah, good old Dan. I'm sure that is just what the Astros needed So, will he be with the 'Stros for their series here? He'll probably get a warm reception :whistle
July 29, 200323 yr Has anyone ever being with 4 teams in a season berfore? The Rockies were dumb to just release him. the probably could have gotten a prospect for him.
