On record for hating him in New York as a closer, but setup man is suitable. Different pressure, different setting, different atmosphere overall.Bring in Balfour. 2 year $15mil gets it done. Did for O's.
Please Cash. Spend the Cash.
Fastball low to mid-90's, likened to Clemens. Scouts compared his splitter to Uehara and pinpoint control to Maddux, obviously slightly exaggerated. He's a top of the line #2, not an ace so CC will have to rebound in that role.
just hope he's good, can't wait ...
In regards to his splitter, I have read/heard that his splitter will be the best splitter in the Major Leagues, and will be widely considered one of baseball's best pitches.Fastball low to mid-90's, likened to Clemens.

Embellished report but Yanks fans will like this. Ma Kun threw 160 pitches in Game 6 of the Japanese playoffs and asked for the ball in G7.
Even Schilling gave props in that regard.In regards to his splitter, I have read/heard that his splitter will be the best splitter in the Major Leagues, and will be widely considered one of baseball's best pitches.
no Mo...no way
Enter Sandman will never be the same for you
This coupled with the below report leads me to believe Drew will end up in the Bronx on like a two-year (or three) deal.Makes sense, there is an even greater importance being placed on infield defense with Tanaka bringing that sinker/splitter to NYS.
If you'd like to check out a quick piece I wrote on Ma Kun.Still bugs me that we didn't go with more money for Cano. I get not giving 10/240. That makes no sense. But why not 7/200.
And still make all the moves we did. Exception of Brian Roberts who would be unnecessary.
We all knew damn well $189m was not going to happen. I think that's part of the reason they never budged on the offer because they felt well at $24mil, we can add Tanaka, a cheaper 4th OF and stay under $189m.
Cano still woudl've been in Seattle tho... He wanted the most money he could get and I don't begrudge him its a business at the end of the day...Still bugs me that we didn't go with more money for Cano. I get not giving 10/240. That makes no sense. But why not 7/200.
