Well, I'm not 100% sure JOse would be the pitcher he is today if he were still in NY. As we know now a lot of it was just being in a bad situation in NY. He needed to get out of there. His stuff was always awesome, but he had to find a spot where he was comfortable.

 

A lot of that had to do with his family's situation, IMO. New York isn't an easy place to play, but it's not like Mel Stottlemyre is a bad pitching coach. And Jose pitched pretty well there in '04.

 

Why Steinbrenner would trade away one of the best pitchers in the history of Cuban baseball AND EAT PART OF HIS CONTRACT for a journeyman one-year wonder is beyond me. But I'm sure glad that he did it.
