Why?
Why do the Yankees keep bringing back Sergio Mitre? I have detailed my disdain for Mitre here and here and here and plenty of other places, so I won't rehash my objections.
What bothers me about this move is that I have seen a lot of people saying it's "only" for 900k. That's true, but the Yankees signed Marcus Thames for 900k last year. Plus, Mitre will now take a spot from someone like a Romulo Sanchez or perhaps an Ivan Nova, pitchers with more promise and lower salaries. I don't know why the Yankees keep knocking on this door, but I can only hope they won't compound the problem by offering Dustin Moseley a contract. One mediocre righty is enough.
Back when we hear the non-tender decisions later tonight.

I think you're wrong about Moseley. I thought he pitched well against Texas, and he still may pan out -- though hopefully just as a 6th starter and long man. The fascination with Mitre continues to escape me. But I guess they need arms, and no one from Triple A is ready with the exception of Nova.
If Pettite does not re-sign, they are going to have to pick up Lee and one other starter. Otherwise its Nova and Moseley at the back end of the rotation.

You are certainly right about the Texas appearance, but I just don't think Moseley strikes enough guys out to survive in the AL East.
And if Pettitte doesn't return I hope they think about putting Joba back into the rotation.
