Yesterday, the Yanks picked up SP Chad Gaudin from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later. Gaudin is 4-10 with an ERA over 5.00. Living in the Bay Area, I got to watch Gaudin pitch numerous times in 2007 when he was with Oakland. I thought he demonstrated some solid stuff. He finished the season 11-13. He got off to a hot start, going 8-3, before tailing off at the end, especially in September, when he went 1-4. However, he tossed 199.1 innings this year after throwing only 64 innings the year before. I thought he looked tired and his fastball was flat, as the numbers proved towards season's end that year. Hopefully, he'll be able to give the Yanks some productivity and could be a much better candidate than Sergio Mitre in the 5th starter spot.
In another Yankee transaction, the River Avenue Blues blog reports the immortal Anthony Cleggett has been sent back down to Scranton and Ramiro Pena recalled. I hope everyone got a good look at Cleggett last night. It may have been your last.
