"Signed in December to a $2 million, one-year contract"
Wow! So the Yankees, last winter, gave a one year, $2 million contract to a guy who had recently had a ligament replaced in his elbow. Just amazing the money that ballclub throws around. I mean, this is not giving John Lieber a 2-year deal on the assumption that he'll be a solid starter the second year, a deal which a lot of people thought was pretty crazy at the time. This is a one year deal for a guy with a brand new elbow, hoping for the possibility that he might come back and pitch well in mid-August!?!? Simply amazing.
