What! El Duque? Why not Luis Tiant?

A healthy, effective IPK in the Bronx this year would be a heckuva story. But the short term answer (rather than the waiver retreads we’ve been reading about) is EL DUQUE.

Is there any way that Cashman knew this guy was going to be a free agent right about now and that’s why he didn’t pull the trigger on a deal at the deadline?

I hope they sign Matri and put him in AA to start. If he has a nice first 2 starts, up to AAA. If he continues to pitch well and we need him by the end of August, they might be screwed but at least in a “not-as-bad-as-it-could-be” position.

Still another starter to replace Mitre and keep Marti #7. We just need him to be better than Igawa.

Option A at this point, I hope.

“Marti and Gomez defected in December and a few weeks later their agent, Jaime Torres, said his clients were big-league ready.”

Really? I expected his agent to tell us his client is a drug-addled con artist who needs the money to pay off huge gambling debts.

agreed. he has to have seasoning before he’s a major league pitcher in a pennant race. maybe he can pitch right away for the pirates, but not here

People still don’t understand how bad Mitre is
