Now It Makes Some Sense
Here's a little detail, via LoHud, that helps the Chan Ho Park signing make sense. Both Mitre and Gaudin have non-guaranteed deals. So, the Yankees could release them from their contracts and not have to pay them. That's a big deal considering Gaudin is due almost $3 million and Mitre $1 million if they make the team.

Park looked like a new man in relief last post-season. Maybe he can give the Yankees something in that role plus give them spot starts.
I do think Gaudin has good stuff and should make the team. Maybe Park spells the end of Mitre. But boy, Mitre was not very good last year, and I wouldn't mind seeing him go.

Heck of a "little" detail! Didn't know they wrote contracts like that. Sorta like the GM deal where you get to drive it for a while and turn the car back if you don't like it ... Wow.

Off topic comment: Carl Crawford will not be negotiating an extension with the Rays at this time - they want to wait until the season ends. Hmmm ... I guess he's got a smart agent. :-)
