BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2008 After toiling away in the Yankees' system for nearly eight years, Kevin Thompson looked like he'd get a chance at being a bench outfielder in Oakland, but he'll now hope for that chance in Pittsburgh, as the Pirates grabbed him when the A's tried to pass him through waivers.
2007 Kevin Thompson outperformed Bubba Crosby in every way during the fifth-outfielder derby in spring training, except the crucial category of Torre-toadying. He was sent down, then hit well in three brief call-ups, but his season at Columbus, like the last, was uninspiring.
2006 He most likely blew his big chance. Thompson reached Double-A in 2003, but never put up the numbers that would get him noticed by the big league club. That changed this spring when his hot start coincided with the Angel of Death passing over all Yankees center fielders. Promoted to Columbus, the mother ship claimed Cabrera instead of him. During the brief Cabrera Era, Thompson`s bat went cold, so when Melky was returned to sender the Yankees no longer considered him Plan B. His probable future involves memorizing Marlon Brando`s most famous lines from `On the Waterfront.`
