Myers not experienced enough.

Joe Torre on Kyle Farnsworth: " 'I think he just needs to have a couple of good outings. He's been around a while, and you see signs of stuff. His slider and his fastball are powerful pitches for him. He just needs to locate on a regular basis, and I think once he gets a couple of good outings under his belt, [he will be fine]. Maybe the road will help him.' "


Though it sounds like Torre could be talking about Mike Myers, I guess not:

"Veteran left-hander Mike Myers was told after the game that he will be designated for assignment.

A published report in the New York Daily News said that Myers was informed of the move by Torre and general manager Brian Cashman shortly before the team left for Toronto.

Myers, 38, was in the second year of a two-year, $2.4 million contract. He had a team-best 2.66 ERA in 55 appearances, but left-handers hit .312 against him."
