YASNY Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I've been thinking about the Yankees starting pitching situation. They have Boomer, Mussina, Contreras, Pettite, Hitchcock, ElDuque, Weaver and are apparently going to resign the Rocket. I know they are looking to move ElDuque and Hitchcock, but really, what kind of demand is there for those two? You can figure Mussina, Contreras and Clemens will be in pinstripes next year. That leaves Wells, Pettite and Weaver. Do you think they would move Pettitte and what would it take to get him? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hitchcock's 2002 salary was $5M .... Way over paid. We won't pick him up. I hope! Pettitte's 2002 salary was $8.5M. As good as Pettitte is, that's too rich for JR, too. Also, NY picked up his option for 2003, so it may even be higher. It's a shame, because he's just the type of pitcher we need.

mac9001 Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Weaver would look nice on our staff. It wont happen though:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I think Pettitte would be a good choice, especially if we can get him for very little but not Weaver. The man is a headcase and theres too much bad blood between us. Im still pissed at him for that brawl a few years back and Im damn happy we kicked his ass!

CubKilla Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Originally posted by theoldromanI think Pettitte would be a good choice, especially if we can get him for very little Pettite won't come cheap so there's no chance JR will allow KW to go after him. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Pettite would get the Yanks nothing in return (Look at Millwood after all) but the Yanks would also have to pick up about half of his salary. I think the most viable bet would be them giving up El Duque for nothing. I think he's a bit more affordable, and at a cheaper price they could at least dump him. THey won't find any takers for Pettite or Hithcock unless they pay most of the salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I agree Jas....El Duque is the only one that's really available....Hitchcock is, but who in the bluehell will trade for that bag of s***? I hope to god it's not us. In other news, the Yankees payroll is at $140 million and will rise......HAHA. They'll have to unload more than $23 million and they can't do that. That's funny as hell. If they could move Mondesi, Posada and El Duque, that'd be around $26 million....too bad....they won't move Mondesi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hitchcock is not a piece of s***, he could actually be quite decent. If KW got him I would not be at all upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac9001 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 No, they would send us cash along with the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 Originally posted by theoldromanHitchcock is not a piece of s***, he could actually be quite decent. If KW got him I would not be at all upset. Hitchcock, over the last 3 years.... 2000 - 11 games, 11 starts - 1-6, 4.93 ERA 2001 - 13 games(10 with Yanks), 12 starts(9 with Yanks) - 6-5, 5.63 ERA 2002 - 20 games, 2 starts - 1-2, 5.49 ERA He's had an ERA below 4.00 once, and that was at 3.93 in 1998 with San Diego. The most games he's ever won in a season is 13. His career ERA is 4.77. You wouldn't be mad if KW brought in that $6 million s***bag into Chicago? He's a bullpen pitcher, and that's all...and he's not even worthy of setting up or closing....so he ain't worth $6 frickin million. He sucks...he's worse than Ritchie and made twice as much as Ritchie did last year. I wouldn't take him if New York sent $5.9 million in cash....it wouldn't be worth it. He'd just take up space and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
