Yankees Allegedly Out of Duchscherer Running

But hope is not lost. We still have Jeremy Bonderman, Kevin Millwood and Freddy Garcia available in the free agent market, and we all know what they could mean to our rotation. Nothing. Pretty much nothing. But still, wouldn't one of them be better than Sergio Mitre? No. And that's the problem. I'd rather Mitre than any of these guys who have the same consistancy problems as Mitre but with far more injury concerns. Our lone hope is Bartolo Colon who totally dominated in the winter leagues, and everyone knows that winter league domination is akin to major league success.

This is Kei Igawa's chance to shine!

Its so true! Looks like Duchscherer signed with Baltimore. Our options are very limited. So much for the deep net Cashman had said he casted prior to the Lee situation falling apart.

Cashman was talking about an actual net, which he cast about while wielding a trident in the other hand. Unfortunately, the only pitcher he caught using this technique was Bartolo Colon.

Even Poseidon could have gotten a better pitcher than Colon! If we see either Kei Igawa or Sydney Ponson making starts for our team, just know that the worst case scenario has been realized.

The Yankees signed Freddy Garcia today. You've got nothing to worry about!
