Roster moves, potential trades |
In order to make way for newly-acquired Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte, the Yanks made a few moves today. Nady's presence means too many outfielders, so Brett Gardner was optioned to AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Latroy Hawkins was designated for assignment to make room for Marte. In another long-overdue move, Kei Igawa was outrighted to the minors today.
There is increasing talk about the Yankees getting Jarrod Washburn from the Mariners. I would caution anyone about getting excited about Washburn. With the exception of a few seasons, the 33-year old lefty has had a noticeably unremarkable career. He has a lifetime ERA of 4.12 and a record of 97 and 95, and has not had a respectable season since he was 8 and 8 with a 3.20 ERA in 2005 with Anaheim. Rumors are that the Yanks will basically be allowing Seattle to dump Washburn's contract off and therefore will only give them a low-level prospect in return. Washburn will obviously be a #5 starter is he is acquired.
Much more interesting but significantly less discussed is the remote possibility that the Yanks trade for Roy Halladay. There has been speculation that Halladay will be traded, and despite Toronto's denials, he apparently is desperate to win a world championship and is not oblivious to the fact that as long as he is in Toronto, that would be a long shot.Labels: Gardner, Halladay, Hawkins, Igawa, Marte, Nady, Pitching, Rotation, Washburn |

Alex to media: I've got your clutch hit right here! |
| Today may go down as the day Alex Rodriguez left the media in the dust. He bailed out the team from a second consecutive loss to an embarassingly bad team. He also bailed out the pitching staff from another less than stellar performance. First, Kei Igawa became the next name on a growing list of Yankee starting pitchers who are either injured or are healthy and pitching like they are injured. Four games into the season, starting pitching has pitched a total of 17 1/3 innings, which is an average of 4 1/3 innings per game. In those 17.1 innings, they have given up 28 hits, 11 walks and 22 runs. This is an ERA of 11.42. But Alex hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Giambi hit a 3-run shot in the 8th which at the time looked like it was going to be too little, too late. However, with the Yanks down by a run in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs, Alex would come to the plate with the bases loaded in a moment that you just knew, one way or another, was going to make headlines the next day. He took strike one and swung and missed at strike two and you could practically see the feast the media were going to have on him the next day. The door out of New York was opening and Alex was taking the first step. But he closed that door when he drove a 1-2 pitch over the center field wall. Ballgame over. Yankees win. Tha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Yankeeeees wiiiiiiinnnn. Labels: A-Rod, Heroes, Igawa, Media, Pitching, Victory |

5 years, $20 million |
| It's being reported that Kei Igawa is now a Yankee. The Yanks are expected to officially announce the signing this week, along with Pettitte. Two left-handers in their rotation will surely bolster their performance. Now there is one last missing piece.... Labels: Igawa, Pettitte |

Yanks win bidding to negotiate with Igawa |
The Yanks have won the bidding for 27-year-old, left-handed pitcher Kei Igawa, of the Hanshin Tigers today. Apparently their winning bid of $25 million beat out the Mets' $15 million bid. They now have until December 28th to work out a deal with Igawa. He was 14 and 9 with a 2.97 ERA in 29 games in 2006. His lifetime stats are here.
While non-MLB stats are by no means an accurate predictor of MLB performance, it's looking like he's going to cost the Yanks about half of what Matsazuka will cost the Sox when all is said and done. Even if Matsazuka is slightly better, I don't see that being worth the difference.
Speaking of Boston, the rumors continue to heat up that Manny is on the verge of being traded. Although he has been on the verge of being traded several times since 2003, I haven't seen the media in such a stir about it like they are now. I hate to see Manny go in the sense that he will not cause problems for them inside the clubhouse. On the other hand, it appears as if J.D. Drew will replace him, and that will mean a lot less protection for Big Papi in the lineup. So, not only will they be losing the production of Manny's bad, but Ortiz may lose a little bit as well. That's good news in my book.Labels: Boston, Igawa, Pitching |
