Some notes.
1. We signed Kei Igawa to a five year contract for $20 million. It ends in October.
2. For Randy Johnson, we traded Brad Halsey, Dioner Navarro, Javier Vazquez and cash.
3. For Javier Vasquez, we traded for Randy Choate, Nick Johnson and Juan Rivera.
4. Andy Pettitte pitched three years in Houston and won 37 games.

8. We traded Mike Lowell for for Todd Noel, Mark Johnson and Ed Yarnall.
9. In the year 2017, at age 41, Alex Rodriguez will be paid $20 million by the Yankees.
10. Johnny Damon refused a trade to the Redsocks last fall, citing loyalty to the Yankees.
11. We paid Kyle Farnsworth $16 million over 3 years. His ERA was never less than 4.30.
12. In two incarnations with the Yankees, Sidney Ponson was 4-5.
My choice... It has to be Pavano.
ReplyDeleteHe killed us for four years. Four years. We kept thinking he would suddenly pitch well for us. He killed us.
It has to be Pavano.
Oh, NOW you remember to include Kei in a poll ?
ReplyDeleteLilly for Jeff [no lead is safe] Weaver.
ReplyDeleteWeaver as a Yankee:
12-12, 5.35 ERA
That the St. Andy choice is leading in the voting is a stupid emotional response to his retirement. They didn't "let" him go; he decided to go and be Robin to Roger's Batman. If he had played his whole career with us, he might have passed Whitey Ford and become the all-time Yankee leader in wins and strikeouts, but he had a different agenda. They couldn't stop him from going to Houston; the fool did it on his own, just like he did HGH.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse... what if Barry Zito were a Yankee?
