Pettitte Offered $15M by NYY

[BuckyTuba]

Possible option year for 2008, per rotoworld.

 

he'd be an idiot to not take it.

You are correct, sir! Go ahead NYY, go ahead Pettitte. Make it happen. I don't hope for injury, but that's a ton of money for a risk such as him.

Keep him out of Houston and hurt their pitching.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

As a fan of the Yankees, I love it. As a fan of the Brewers, I love it. I know Pettite's wife is none too keen of Andy returning to the Yanks, but we'll see if her voice can be heard over all the "CHA-CHING!"s he's gonna be yelling

That is a lot of money for a pitcher who could very well pitch half the season. But that being said i hope they sign him and it weekends there pitching even more. They should be looking younger not older.

in his last two seasons. He had serious injury trouble in 2004, his first in Houston & first on a new, (then) big contract. He seems to have rebounded fine, and his injury at the end of 2006 was a strained left elbow muscle - not anything structural.

 

While I realize it could be a 'nagging' kind of injury, Pettite's career track record suggests otherwise. He has always kept himself in fine shape, and, at age 34, is not the ancient guy many would have you believe. His long, successful career makes many (including me) think of him being as old as, say, Clemens, or Johnson

With all the money being thrown at pitchers these days, this is probably a bad time for Pettite to be thinking of retirement. I am pretty sure he will pitch again. It would be great if he left Houston. Hopefully Clemens will do the same.
