Philly: gives Gordon 3 year deal

Well if the Phillies ever make the playoffs, he can throw up in the bullpen.

Talk about big game pitchers, that guy definitely isn't one. He flat out sucks..

Well he'll fit right in with McNabb then ;)

Anyway although he's awful in the post season, I have to give him credit he is a very good regular season pitcher. However giving him a 3 year deal at age 38 especially considering his injury history seems pretty risky. But I guess the Phillies had to sign someone to close.

I'm sure that's really comforting to the Philadelphia fans that are stuck with this bum for 3 years, "Well, he's terrible when it matters." :lol:

It's a little sad that he's not on the Yankees anymore. It was always fun watching Torre call him into a big game and seeing him blow it.

He only did that 7 times out of 79 chances. He was a bit overused in the Torre era. Good signing by the Phillies.
 
With what's on the market as far as relievers are concerned, this is a huge loss for the Yankees. I don't trust Farnsworth but even if by some miracle of God he pans out the Yankees still have nobody. Strurtze suckes, period. The Yankees bullpen problems weren't with the 8th and 9th innings they were with the 6th and 7th innings. Last year we had a 2 guy bullpen and I don't want to hear about how Sturtze was over-used, this guy just stinks IMO. I really don't know where the Yankees go with their bullpen. If I was Torre I would try Wright in the Gordon roll and save Farnsworth for the 7th (or 6th is Moose is starting). With 2 years and 14 million left, moving Wright to the bullpen is a cheap move considering what Gordon got. Wright is injury prone and was a terrible starter last year but I would trust him with his 96 MPH fastball to come in and get 3 outs in the 8th consistantly. Right now there's nothing on the market and we don't have much to trade. Cashman's going to have to piece this together like he pieced together a rotation last year. His skills will be put to the test this off-season, that's for **** sure!
 
man, the pitchers contracts are getting crazy. I thought the Rays were going to be able to sign a pitcher or two, **** at this rate we would double our payroll signing 2 pitchers.

The top free-agents are getting more money this year because this is a crap class of free agents and since a lot of teams have money to spend this year, their over-paying like crazy. Esteban Loiaza just 21 million for 3 years from Billy Beane. This is no ordinary off-season!
 
I like Farnsworth more. HUGE upside. Watched him a lot in Detroit and he was very good! I love the guy I hope NY gets him.

Screw Gordon I can't stand him. Glad he's gone.

The Yanks currently have 7 starting pitchers. Pavano might be moved to get a big time CF or 1B. So now you are down to 6 possibly. With Small being moved to the bullpen probably to do relief work. The bullpen isn't great or outstanding, but it is good. And if we keep Pavano, it will be just fine.

Injuries killed the Yanks pitching last year. You have to think Pavano and Wright come back healthy after all the time they have had off.

Gordon throws back to back 80+ inning years with a sub 2.6 era both years. I like the Farnsworth move but remember, he won't be pitching in Detroit anymore, and the guys career era is 4.45.. I hope for your sake he turned the corner last year.
