I don’t get it, this guy(Bonderman) has nothing. I would much rather have Mitre than this burn out. Don’t forget Mitre wasn’t 100% last year after his surgery, he should be just about full strength this season. Spring training should tell a lot about what he’ll have going in. I just saw too many teams beat the hell out of Bonderman and after all how many A J Burnett’s can one team have.

It dosen’t make much sense for Bonderman either. He should be talking to the Padres or Cardinals to rehab his career…

I agree with you in part. But if the Yankees are looking for a #5 pitcher with low cost and they don’t want to rely on Mitre it’s not a bad option especially if Pettitte comes back. If that turns out to be the case the starting rotation doesn’t look that bad. CC, Pettitte (if he comes back), Hughes, AJ & Bonderman. With Nova and Mitre as long relief guys and Logan, Robertson, Filiciano and of course Rivera.
If Pettitte doesn’t come back it would look like: CC, Hughes, AJ, Nova & Bonderman. Bonderman would at least give them a little more wiggle room until the trade deadline to get a front line pitcher.
Is it the ideal option of course not, but it may be an option nevertheless.

Smells like desperation.

This is not the pitcher you are looking for…

Why didn’t they show more interest in Capuano (lefty) or show the interest in Chris Young who has better numbers than Bonderman??? Baffling…

If they can sign him to a minor league contract, they can at least get a look at him.

I don’t think this will work.
