Adding to an already impressive haul of Mark Prior, Bartolo Colon, and Freddy Garcia, the Yankees inked Eric Chavez and Ronnie Belliard. We can only wait with bated breath for the Bombers’ next move.

Bartolo and I can go raid the Mexican pizza joint up the block from the old stadium. They sell 3 Corona’s for $10 too. Party time

Eric Chavez February 5, 2011 07:12
I would come to but most likely I’ll be in a wheelchair by April. My back hurts.
JoeThunder February 5, 2011 07:21
Dude, what the fuck is Cashman and company doing? This has got to be the biggest group of hacks ever to be signed by 1 team in 1 off season. I also heard we acquired ex-Nat Justin Maxwell. How many guys are we going to have on this roster???
Shogun of Harlem February 5, 2011 09:43
Dude these are all spring training invites. God lets be critical of all moves. If you look around many teams have reclamation projects coming to spring. I go and see AAA Yankees games so if some of these dudes stick it will be kind of cool to watch. I would think maybe 1 of these mentioned people will make it out of spring, with some being releases and some filling in spots in AAA!
Here's a tip February 5, 2011 10:20
Shogun – more sense of humor, less exclamation points
Another tip February 5, 2011 21:57
Fewer, not less.
JoeThunder February 5, 2011 11:08
I understand their all spring training invitees bu still these guys are washed up bums that are all way past their prime. Are we banking on 20HR’s from Chavez? Are we counting on a combined 40 starts from Colon and Garcia? My point is why even extend an invitation to these guys. Their all dead weight at this point in their careers.
Shogun of Harlem February 5, 2011 16:49
Prior had electric stuff before elbow injuries killed him. Is he ever going to start again, I doubt it, but if he is healthy can that now low 90′s fastball he has now and devastating curve he had help us in the pen which could make Joba or Robertson available to trade for a starter, possibly. Could Garcia or Colon be good enough to be a t5h starter, absolutely, though I see Garcia more than Colon. Could Chavez or Belliard provide one consistent bat off the bench to give us that pinch hitter Marcus Thames power, again, absolutely. Could all of them be busts, totally, but its spring and that why they trim rosters as it goes and assign guys to AAA. Chavez can stay healthy if he makes it if all he is asked to do is pinch hit and play an inning or two on the corners.

am i the only one tired of this joke?
Kenny Fucking Powers February 5, 2011 16:36
I am, I am!!! Man, that guy is a real pain in the ass. Just the other day while he was over my house he shoved a plunger up my corn hole unexpectedly. I enjoyed it but still, I like to be forewarned before I get butt fucked. BadAssBillyCurtis, you’re fucking out, I’m fucking in…your ass next time. Oh, and by the way I love the Eric Chavez signing.
Shogun of Harlem February 5, 2011 17:16
The lumps joke is played out tremendously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BadAssBillyCurtis February 5, 2011 18:33
So is this website but yet we keep coming back. By the way, RAB stands for River Avenue Blues, you fucking lumpy idiot.
Shogun of Harlem February 6, 2011 12:49
Actually this website has SOME good points and gives us a place to have an opinion, not sit and repeat the same joke over and over again. I could see if you did it once in a thread but you have done it six or seven times on one thread and its just not funny. Bring something besides a overplayed joke to the site….
BadAssBillyCurtis February 6, 2011 14:11
Ok, what’s the difference between a duck?
BadAssBillyCurtis February 7, 2011 13:31
Please call me at my office. I work in the shipping department of a parts company. Old man Frank always makes me do the relocates and I always have to do finals and stock the shelves. I make just over minimum wage and am pushing 60 years old. I have nothing better to do than talk about lumps and stalk people in my van. I am a loser and I have no dick. Also, I know nothing about baseball. Thank you.
Shogun of Harlem February 7, 2011 22:21
I am sure of this…..do old loser men have lumps?
Cephster February 9, 2011 14:59

Pat Kelly February 5, 2011 07:42
If only we signed the ace known as Jeff Francis. That would’ve made this offseason a complete success!
This is why we didn't sign Jeff Francis this off season February 5, 2011 07:50
Chavez, Colon, Belliard, Soriano, and Jones. Do you see a pattern here? It’s obvious that Brian Cashman is secretly Omar Minaya.
Jim Morrison February 5, 2011 19:36
Brian is so clever. He thinks that because of Jones’ last name being non-Hispanic we will all be fooled. Stick it to the man
Brian Cashman February 5, 2011 23:09
I thought Andruw was black.
Kyle February 5, 2011 07:53
Apparently the Yankees are also close to an agreement to sign Cory Lidle to compete for a spot in the rotation.

That’s impossible because I’m dead!

Perhaps cashman has been listening to the beastie boys? “listen all a’ y’all it’s a sabotage”

Crane Kick February 5, 2011 10:55
Is that a BEEPER on Cash’s belt?
Somebody’s gotta fill the infield in the split-squad games this spring…relax. If one of these washed up bums pops a little hgh this spring like that guy Jon Weber did last March (remember him and his near 1000 ops?), then maybe we catch lightning in a bottle and get a good april outta one of these guys, IF a roster spot opens up due to injury.
And if not, it gave us something to talk about on a boring February morning….chill.
Terry Silver February 5, 2011 11:11
Mike Barnes is not afraid of a crane kick.

New favorite NoMaas tag: “trash heap”
JoeThunder February 5, 2011 16:37
Brian Cashman’s favorite place to find players is the scrap heap.
Paul February 5, 2011 17:08
I do hope you guys are sarcastic when you say “the rich get richer” and not trying to spin off Cashman’s greatness.
P.S. after this fiasco of an offseason, do you guys really believe Cashman should be brought back after this year? Really?
Sensitive RAB guy February 5, 2011 19:29
The two-thousand-and-fucking-FIVE baseball prospectus could be a hint they’re sarcastic
SarcasticSteveSimmons February 5, 2011 19:34
Could it be that Paul was being sarcastic in asking if NoMaas was being sarcastic??? RAB is the best website for all things Yankee.
nope February 5, 2011 21:23
Paul is a moron, and didnt ask, he hoped. Not much opportunity to turn it around with the old jk only sarcasm trick.
Wise Guy February 5, 2011 19:38
So tell me, Paul, once Lee was off the table, did these other signings actually go down as negatives in your book? Like Ronnie Belliard for instance. The guy sucks. Can’t play ball at all. I’m sure we’ll both agree. But you’re going to say that Cashman deserves to be fired for signing 6 guys like Ronnie Belliard hoping to see if one guy works out? Maybe we get another Aaron Small for half a season.
I suppose you can bash him for not signing Lee (although he threw all the money he could at him) or not having a “Plan B”(although I’m not sure who “Plan B” could have been), but I see absolutely no problem with signing as many people for unguaranteed money and non-roster spots. If they suck we cut them. What’s wrong with that? How does signing Belliard, Prior, Garcia, et al mean Cashman should be fired? Yeah Colon is fat, that’s why he’ll probably be cut. No skin off anyone’s back. Except Colon’s and the few minutes it took Cashman or his underling to negotiate the shitty contract with Colon’s agent.
Ronnie Belliard February 5, 2011 20:46
Hey man, I don’t suck. I have a ring. How many rings do you have? Another round of Coronas please, Maria.
Russ February 6, 2011 00:10
Jesus this are only minor league signings or spring invites. Calm down, you’re making a mountain of a mole hill.

Hey Brian Cashman, if you don’t sign me next Jobo says Fuck You!
Joe Pawlikowski February 8, 2011 13:34
I’d love to get rid of Cashman. He is as useless as my “diet”.
VIto February 11, 2011 15:37
Seriously – wasn’t this the plot for “Major League”? Bring in the worst group of players ever. Are they trying to relocate to Miami next year?
VIto February 11, 2011 15:40
At this point, half the pitchers who show up on Old Timers day will be offered contracts. Wonder if that Guidry guy can still get lefties out? Mickey Klutts or Ramiro Pena?
