[h1]Notes: Yankees trade Clippard to Nats[/h1]BY KAT O'BRIEN AND KEN DAVIDOFF | [email protected]; [email protected]
NASHVILLE - The Yankees made their first trade of the winter meetings yesterday, but not the whopper fans were awaiting. Instead, they dealtrighthander Tyler Clippard to the Nationals for righthanded reliever Jonathan Albaladejo.

Albaladejo, 25, who is listed at 6-5 and 250 pounds, made his major-league debut this season, and was 1-1 with a 1.88 ERA in 14 games and 14 1/3 innings. Inthe minor leagues this season, he was a combined 7-3 with a 2.97 ERA at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Columbus with 56 strikeouts and just 22 walks in 602/3 innings. Albaladejo is currently pitching in the Venezuelan Winter League, with a 2.53 ERA in 21 1/3 innings.

Clippard, 22, was 3-1 with a 6.33 ERA in six games for the Yankees after making his major-league debut. At Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,he was a combined 6-5 with a 4.50 ERA in 20 games and 96 innings.

One telling statistic comparing the two is that minor-league hitters batted .280 off Clippard and major-league hitters hit .271 againsthim. Albaladejo held major-league hitters to a .149 batting average and minor league hitters to a .200 average.
