Is New York the graveyard of pitchers?

[pavyracer]

This is where pitchers who were successful once go to die.

J.Santana
J.Vasquez

I'm pretty sure there are more from past years.

Well in football you only have 1 starting QB but in baseball you have 5 starting pitchers so it's not a good analogy.

.....typical knee jerk reaction..

What about all the pitchers that did fine...

Also you can't compare Vasquez and Santana...Vasquez hasn't had any real success in New York while Santana posted a 2.54 ERA in 2008 and a 3.13 ERA in 2009 (gave up 9 earned runs to the Yankees in 3 innings in one game)

They LOVE to overpay for players in NY...can't even count it

I think he was saying players in general for football..... lots of older guys have finished their careers there with a drastic reduction in the production... guys like Jerrry Rice
