I just heard the Yanks might make a play for Leiter. Interesting. Unfortunately, I think he's done but with Brown always a injury risk it might make sense.
It's not just the Tradition.....its Aura and Mystique
I'll take him. We only have 2 healthy starters right now with Mussina and RJ. Pavano is at least 2 weeks away, and Brown is a possibility for next week, but who the hell knows with him.
Wright is done until August at the very earliest and Wang could be done for the season.
I don't care how old he is, he can't be any worse than May and Redding and Henn. He's got experience, and he's a lefty.
I don't want him at all... too much of a whiner and headache, but I guess I'd take anything right now as long as I never have to see May again, which is doubtful.
I'm willing to give Redding a shot tomorrow, although I'm braced for the worst. Only upside is that the Red Sox aren't too familiar with, which gives him atleast a decent shot to give the Yankees to win.

I trimmed down those stats to make it a little easier to line it up, and I think you get the picture with these here...that's an interesting split. Except I always thought Florida was a pitchers park.
Rotoworld:
The Yankees have agreed on a deal to buy Al Leiter from the Marlins, Newsday reports.
MLB.com is still saying another player is involved in the deal, but according to Newsday, it's a cash transaction, with the Yankees sending about $250,000 to Florida and paying about $150,000 of what the left-handed is still owed this season. The deal is expected to become official today, allowing the Yankees to start Leiter tomorrow against the Red Sox.
