Building a bullpen one LaTroy at a time
Published 12/9/2007 by Ben K. at River Ave. Blues
... The Yankees, according to Ken Rosenthal, are close to a one-year, $3.75 million deal with LaTroy Hawkins. This move bores me. On the one hand, it’s a one-year deal for not very much money. On the other, Hawkins has seen his K/9 IP decline over the last five seasons (with a slight uptick last year), and just like every other Yankee reliever, he puts on more than a baserunner per inning. Is a 35-year-old really a bullpen upgrade? ...

Hawkins in pinstripes? Yikes!
Published 12/10/2007 by ETVal at Valentine's Views
As a New York Yankee fan, there is only one good thing I can say about the Yankees' decision to add LaTroy Hawkins to their bullpen. Thank God Hawkins is reportedly only getting a one-year contract ($3.75M) from the Yankees! I know the Yankees need to replace Luis Vizcaino, who has priced himself out of pinstripes by asking for a three or four-year contract. But Hawkins? This guy is mediocre at best, and that's probably being kind. He has a 4.68 ERA in a middling 13-year career. He went 2-5 with a 3.42 ERA for Colorado last season. ...

Though the Yanks transformed minor league-starter Joba Chamberlain into a setup man for the last couple months of the season, they plan to ...

So Far, So Good For the Yanks
Published 12/10/2007 by Brian at Depressed Fan
... LaTroy Hawkins - Rumored to be on the verge of signing for 1 year/$3.75M. A great move, in my opinion. Not exactly cheap, but a one-year deal is very little risk and a veteran arm was desperately needed in the pen. I'd bet he out-performs Vizcaino's 2007. ...

LaTroy Hawkins gives Farnsworth company
Published 4/5/2008 by Ed Valentine at Bugs & Cranks
... exit, so Farnsworthless now has competition for most vilified Yankee reliever. It’s way too early to label Hawkins and his 31.50 ERA a bust, but it’s not like you couldn’t have predicted that Hawkins wouldn’t exactly be a shut down reliever when the Yankees signed him over the winter. In a post headlined ‘Hawkins in Pinstripes? Yikes!’ this is what I said when the Yankees acquired him. Thank God Hawkins is reportedly only getting a one-year contract ($3.75M)! I know the Yankees need to replace ...
