12% of voters want Edwar Ramirez
42% of voters want Brian Bruney
38% of voters want Chad Gaudin

Can we rail on Cashman again for not keeping Gaudin for $3 million?

Are those win totals in their post-Yankee career?
Lily and Westbrook came to the Yanks in the Irabu trade. Lily was traded for Weaver. Westbrook was traded for David Justice

Depending on how much we have to pay of Gaudin's salary I think he could be worth a try.
No just totals, Ted Lilly does have 96 wins post Yankees.
When someone gets DFA'd, the team picking him up only has to pay the league minimum, the original team pays the rest. So if you cut someone making $15 million, the team picking him up pays about $400K and the original team pays $14.6 million.
That being said he was atrocious this year, and I don't see where he could fit in.
He only pitched 17 innings, I think he is worth a minor league deal.
would be kinda nice to get Gaudin to add depth
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
Good point.
"In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism....formed their own 4-H Club -- the "hopeless, hysterical, hypochondriacs of history." - Spiro Agnew
Because there is a very good chance that he will be on a major league team in the playoffs(World Series) with the Yankees.
Rememeber that time the Yankees wouldn't let him pitch throughout the entire post season?
So you want him to accept a minor league deal, but you think a selling point will be that he will be on the post season roster? He was on the roster for all three rounds last year and pitched one inning. Since then, the pitching has been improved, so why would he now suddenly be on the roster?
Gaudin hasn't been quite as awful as you might think. He's striking out more than a batter per inning and has a K/BB ratio of 4-1. Looking at his velocity and his individual stats, there's nothing that shows he should be this bad. I doubt his BABIP stays over .400.
I would offer him a minor league deal, but he can probably do better elsewhere.

Win #28 for George.
Having watched several of his appreances he was pretty bad. These weren't flairs and 27 hoppers finding holes but rather balls crushed in the gaps. Anyway, yeah if he signs an milb deal I'd add him for depth but some struggling team will probably give him a shot at the rotation, maybe.
Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.
The guy accepted a minor league deal at the beginning of the season, I would think if there was a major league offer out there he would have taken that one and it's not like an ERA over 8 will have team falling over him.
No he didn't.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/c...with-as-032810Gaudin, 27, reached agreement Sunday with the A’s, according to major- league sources. He signed a one-year, $700,000 contract and can earn an additional $500,000 in incentives.
The A’s signed Gaudin to a major-league deal and likely will use him out of the bullpen to start the season.
I'm an idiot/don't read well
Those are career win totals with all teams. Obviously Towers, who was with the Yankees last year, doesn't have 45 wins since then.

Shelley Duncan called up to the Indians roster!!!!!

as this article was loading, I saw it was titled "grady sizemore placed on the DL" and assumed that his DL trip was caused by one of Shelley's monstrous elbow-smashes
"First batter up well here's the pitch: it's a curve. Second batter up because the first got served"
yea, seems like hes more of a NL pitcher, still wonder how he would have done in the AL East as a #5

How do we know he's just an NL pitcher?
EVERY pitcher does better in the NL. How much higher would his ERA be in the AL? IDK...I need to see a lot more from him, but living in AZ I watch all of his games when I can. (Otherwise I ignore the D-Backs)
Sori's having a nice bounce-back campaign so far with the Cubbies. Always been one of my favorite players to watch hit when he's right.
Hideki Irabu arrested for DWI:

Of course, the headline is "Former Yankee".
I'm surprised he had the five grand with which to bail himself out.
Just read on the YES channel crawl that Brian Bruney was released by the Nationals. Whatever happened to the kid & his promise?
Clete Boyer
Former Major League Pitcher, maybe?? He pitched for two other teams.
And he was most famous as a Yankee, spent half his MLB time as a Yankee and won two WS as a Yankee. Boo hoo.

melky in the rain:
Bruney signed a minor league deal with the Brewers today. With the awful shape of their bullpen, maybe he can get another shot this year.
Brian Bruney was a scrap-heap guy when the Yankees got him. Arizona had just let him go.
He was effective enough at times to get overhyped as a bullpen mainstay for the Yankees, but I was always skeptical.
"Whether they're offended or not, that's the way it is."
I liked Bruney - I will probably be killed for this but I think he was misused by Torre - every time he walked one person or allowed one hit, he was yanked. I think when he lost weight and pitched under Girardi, he was looking good until he got the foot injury....
5 former Yankees participated in the Cubs/Pirates game on Tuesday night: Xavier Nady (4-4, HR), Alfonso Soriano (1-4), Ted Lilly (L), Jeff Karstens (ND), and Octavio Dotel (S).
If they ask who was our star, give them twenty five names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.
That damn Liz Frank is an evil mistress.
238 more runs to score 1000.
2010 GT record: 8-5 (including two near no-hitters)
I miss Nady...he was our eye candy.
I had to read that twice.

hey - Joba doesn't do it for all of us.
There's a lot better eye candy on the Yankees than Nady. Just sayin'
Likes the Yankees.
Has anybody seen Carl Pavano's awesome mustache? It puts Giambi's to shame.
EDIT: Here's a pic:
