Yankees immediately demoting top prospect after promotion is absolute idiocy
What's even the point?

Nothing was more fitting than the Yankees blowing an opportunity to sweep the Orioles on Sunday with two inexplicable errors and another shaky Clay Holmes performance. From a "players on the field" standpoint, that's characterized the first half, even though the Yankees got off to a 50-22 start. Yes, they are now 58-40 — 8-18 in their last 26 games.

But from a player transaction perspective, the Yankees are at it again, making wasteful and pointless roster moves that continue to hinder the team's progress. We can go as far back as the employment of Dennis Santana, which went on a month too long and extinguished Ron Marinaccio's progress and development.

This past Friday, it was more of the same. The Yankees called up top prospect Jorbit Vivas after placing JD Davis on the injured list. Wow, what a move! The Yankees need infield help and depth for the second half, so let's see what the kid can do!

Or ... not? Vivas spent the entire weekend with the team, didn't log a wink of playing time, and was demoted back to Triple-A after Sunday's finale to further worsen the vibes after the 6-5 collapse.

Welcome to the majors. Now go sit on the bench.
