In these difficult economic times, I do not know how Kevin Kerna still has a job, other than that he is exceptionally good at writing sensational pieces for one of the worst tabloids in the City.

Along the same lines, everyone who want Joba back in the ‘Pen missed Brad Penny NL All-Star start, where he acknowledged that he ‘just reared back and let it go’, threw his FB, like, 99 mph, and struck out six batters in two innings. HEY, let’s make Brad Penny a Closer!!!

No, you moron. He’s got three above average pitches, when he’s healthy. Leave him starting.

Do you want 70 IPs of Joba or 150 (increasing to 200)?

Advocating Joba’s move to the ‘Pen is a very insecure and immature position to take.

That’s two more than Burnit! Same difference…….

Using that logic, we should bring back Jeff Weaver, he pitched big games in the playoffs too…

Anyway, Perez has almost 1,000 innings in the bigs that says he sucks, I’ll go with that, instead of the 11 innings of “BIG GAME PITCHING” (7 of which were any good), that he threw in the playoffs.

WHy not go after a Perez especially since Andy P thinks hes worth 16 mil?

Because Perez is terrible. And will get worse as he gets older.

He was lousy with the Padres, Pirates & Mets, I’m not entirely sold on him yet.

He’s a lefthanded Jeff Kartsens with a better fastball.

Wolf is getting multi yr deals.

He’s a 27 yr old lefty with dominating stuff. You have to think you can get his head straight and focus right don’t you? That is why you have coaches right?

That’s two more than Burnit! Same difference…….

Perez has actually pitched big games in the playoffs.

2 games. One he pitched well, one he pitched terrible.

Steve one more thing, I agree with Jennings and Lieber but think that some team will snatch up Wolf on a major league deal, no? It doesn’t hurt to see certain guys fight for a job.

To me Perez is an even more inconsistent/less stuff type of pitcher than Allan Jerk Burnit BUT Perez has actually pitched big games in the playoffs. That being said, like Burnit the Yanks don’t need two wack jobs . Though Perez never had to get the police involved in a domestic dispute like Burnit did up in Toronto……

Look, bringing Pettitte back as a number 5 is the way to go. Anything else is not as good. Maybe Lowe for 3, but hey let’s not push it.

darn I was trying to post a facepalm, but honestly this debate is silly Perez sucks
