Sigh. Free agent lefty reliever Randy Choate signed a two year deal with the Marlins this afternoon, landing a $2.5M total salary plus incentives according to Kenny Rosenthal. Choate, a former Yankee, was the best free agent LOOGY on the market when it comes to actually getting lefties out. I mean, who wouldn’t want a left-handed reliever that held left-handed batters to a .235 wOBA with an 8.9 K/9 and a 64.5% ground ball rate in the AL East over the last two years?

I guess we should all look forward to watching Pedro Feliciano’s homerun rate regress when the Yanks inevitably sign him.
