Igawa Is In Midseason Form
Is it unfair to draw conclusions from one game? Absolutely, but when the opponent is South Florida giving up a grand slam and walking two guys is not a great way to make people forget about 2007.
I know the Yankees didn't want to trade Igawa in the offseason because his value was almost nothing, but they should act right away if he does something to reestablish his value this spring. Last year they got burned by keeping Carl Pavano when the season started instead of trading him away in the spring (amazingly there was some rumored interest) Igawa "only" makes $4-million a year so they would probably not need to eat too much in salary, just admit that the $26-million posting fee was a waste.
In more serious news, Bobby Murcer is scheduled to have a biopsy next week because the doctors working on him found something in his last MRI. it could simply be scar tissue, it could be something worse. Bobby is one of the true gentlemen of the game and I hope everyone will extend their thoughts and prayers to him and his family.
