Must be nice to have cash lying around

Desperation move for the Yanks again. Means that Francis is going to be DFAd along with Leroux, as both are garbage AAA fodder.

 

Capuano pitched himself out of Boston with a 4.55 ERA and FIP/xFIP over 4, and a SIERA of 3.92. And putting him in Yankee Stadium spells trouble, being a flyball pitcher who couldn't even cut it in Boston.

It's literally a miracle that Jeff Francis has been able to keep himself in the big leagues for this long. He hasn't had a good season since 2007. He trolled his way into like 15+M of earnings that he never should've received based on skill.

You're probably saying that based off of unadjusted stats like ERA though. Jeff Francis has a career 95 FIP- and was an effective major league starter through 2012.

Capuano would've been a nice pick up for us. Faaawk!

 

No cash

 

But honestly, Rasmussen should be in Buffalo
