ponson signs with the yankees

[bigboydan]

didn't we all see this one comming a mile away though.

[Bulldog]

I saw Ponson leaving the Cards, didnt think that he would end up in pistripes.
The sad part is I think this is a good move for the yanks.
They need someone to eat some innings in that rotation.
By the way, whats the update on Pavano?

[Razz]

Pavano and Dotel would both be huge. I hate to say it, but this pretty much signals Toronto or Boston wins the east.

[bigboydan]

I feel that Dotel will be a bust for them myself razz.

[Razz]

I'm not saying he's going to have an ERA under 2.00, but he's a lot better than anyone in that pen except Mo, Farnsworth, and Proctor.

[bigboydan]

farnsworth turned out to be a big bust for the yankees IMO

He's only been there half a season. A lot better pitchers than KF have come to NY and struggled for a year, and been good after that.

[bigboydan]

lets see how he does during cruch time. after all thats really all that matters.

The Yanks took a chance on Tim Redding last year...you cant get a bigger reach then that guy. After that move nothing they do will surpride me. Redding was a guy who couldnt handle the pressure in Houston....and the yanks thought he could pitch in that pressurecooker?

[bigboydan]

the yankees did take a bigger reach than redding last year though. they took a shot with Al Lieter.

[onlooker]

Very good pick up by the Yankees.

True, but at least Leiter beat the Red Sox. Redding lost 17-1 against Boston.

[TexAg001]

ah yes...17-1. It was the easiest decision to take an over that I have ever had to make.
