     I understand he is no longer a “good” pitcher but I don’t get the hate, he is a serviceable number 5 and his peripherals last year weren’t much worse and in some cases better than his previous year (200 inning) which looked better ERA wise. He is for sure better than Colon and Mitre, I would bet dollars to doughnuts he is better than Garcia and more stable than Nova.

     I wouldn’t be all jazed to give the man 5 or 6 million on a major league deal but if he won’t take anything but a major league deal what’s the harm in trying for 3 or 4 million, is he really going to kill us to give him a try as 4th or 5th starter?

     When the choices are a rookie, a vet who didn’t pitch last year, a vet who was a long reliever, a vet who pitched 145 innings in a weaker division or a starter with back to back 190+ inning seasons I bet on the latter to be the most successful and least risk.

     If you get 200 innings out of a 5th starter wouldn’t you take it?

   Thanks for mentioning Edwin Jackson – I think he’s a perfect fit for the Yankees 4 or 5 spot. the question is, what will it take to get him? he can’t be that expensive – isn’t he a free agent this fall?
