No Closer to Closing

Yankee's prospect J.B. Cox, thought of as a possible future closer, is done for most, if not all, of the 2007 season. Cox, who had suffered a broken hand in a brawl over the winter, had surgery to repair a ligament in his elbow.

Cox had a break out season in '06, 6-2, 1.65 w/ 3 saves for the Trenton Thunder. He struck out 60 in 77 innings pitched, and limited league hitters to a .196 average.
