On top of the fact that I had no idea he had been placed on waivers it’s also surprising that he actually cleared waivers. He has been out righted off the 40-man roster and because he cleared waivers he can be assigned to AAA when the season starts. Dickerson will reportedly remain in the Yankees organization and he will remain in big league spring training camp as well. His removal clears a spot for Eric Chavez whose deal had not yet been made official. It may seem odd that they removed Dickerson when they can and still need to put Joba Chamberlain and David Aardsma on the 40 man roster, but Dickerson was out of options and they must not have been able to find someone interested in trading for him. I expect that the also out of minor league options Justin Maxwell will be out righted off the roster by the end of spring training.
