Yanks looking for a lefty?
« on: July 28, 2011, 10:00:33 am »
So, my source says the Yanks need a starting pitcher who can be effective against all the lefty's the Red Sox employ.  No word on whether they're looking at Wandy.
Goin' for a bus ride.

Wandy does have great splits vs. lefties...it will just need to be seen if the Yanks can get over their reported fear that Wandy's stuff won't play in the AL (which btw is complete horseshit).

Crawford and Gonzales have done quite a bit of damage in limited ABs: Crawford 4/6 with a 2B and a 3B, Gonzales 3/12 with a 2B and a HR (and 4 K). Of course, Gonzales does quite a bit of damage against everybody.

He has a 5.25 ERA in 22 starts against AL teams.

Sox are apparently sweating Bedard according to the internets.

I love how Wandy can't cut it in the AL but a dude that has a reserved parking spot on the DL will be just fine.
