It starting to sound that way....
"The Yankees have added Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia in the last week, but the team is still in contact with Kevin Millwood, reports Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman (Twitter link). It could be that the Yankees just want to give themselves as many veteran starting options as they can, or, as Heyman opines, "they're growing more worried" that Andy Pettitte will retire. Pettitte's retirement would leave the Bombers with two open rotation spots that would be contested between Colon, Garcia, Sergio Mitre, Andrew Brackman, Ivan Nova and potentially Millwood (MLBTradeRumors)."
Wow Cliff Lee really did a number on this team, huh? Last year Millwood was 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA. It really does seem like the Yankees are just going to sign as many pitchers that used to be good and hopes one bounces back. Out of the 3 old fart (Colon, Millwood, and Garcia) I would say Garcia has the best shot. I still think Pettitte will eventually be back, but if I was a Yankees fan I would really be worried with all these signings.
***UPDATED***
Sources say Andy Pettitte will announce his retirement Friday!
HAHAHAHAHA, goodbye Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
