The Yankees started towards adding some much needed help in the bullpen, reaching a preliminary agreement with reliever LaTroy Hawkins on a one-year, $3.75 million contract. The right-handed Hawkins, who turns 35 on Dec. 21, was 2-5 with a 3.42 ERA with the National League champion Colorado Rockies this past season. He is expected to fill the role of right-hander Luis Vizcaino, who declined the Yankees’ offer of salary arbitration last week.
Hawkins appeared in 62 games for the Rockies, allowing 52 hits in 55 1/3 innings. He walked 16 and struck out 29.
Unforuntatly, the Yankees have been refusing offers from around the league for Kyle Farnsworth. If I were the Yankees, I would PAY someone to take him, or trade him for a Gatorade and a pack of gum.
If I have to sit through watching Farnsworth pitch again next season……
