Igawa: Yankees rights with $25M bid

[NorthsideAvenger]

YES says Yankees won the bid.

 

Thank you. Igawa is going to have his butt handed to him by the AL, which in turns makes this instantly a bad decision for the Yanks. I love it.

Not surprised the Yankees won. Too bad they overpaid for the wrong player.

I can hear "The Borg, aka Red Sox, laughing at the Yankees. The "Borg" get a potential front of the rotation starter, while "The Evil Empire" gets a back end of the rotation pitcher.

Mike and the Mad Dog hate it.

Any mention of how much the winning bid was?

Padilla is the guy Hendry needs to get.

I don't see how this eliminates them from Schmidt talks.

Wishful thinking.

Why? I don't know much about him.

I see him flying under the radar here...if he can be had for around 10 mil/season, I think it is a good deal. He is still fairly young and I think his numbers were good for playing in Texas last year.

Nobody else seems to be picking up on the YES report yet.

I'm already bothering my roommate and one of my friends, both of who are obviously Yankee fans, about it.

[Vinestal]

You might not like Igawa but he was a better choice than Meche and Marquis, who we will probably wind up with.

Indeed.

Seriously, are they extremly desperate. I would rather pencil in Kerry Wood as one of our 5 starters than pay 25 million for Igawa. Maybe I don't know enough about him, but I never thought the Cubs should go over $30 for Mat. so 25 for Igawa is crazy in that aspect.

Rotoworld just did.

LHPs tend to do better at Yankee Stadium thanks to a cavernous LF, but that kind of coin is insane for the guy.
