Gio Gonzalez to the Yankees

[Centerfield]

Signs a minor league deal. Will make $3 million if he makes the club.



Um. So, why were we not in on that?

1) Because he's a penis. We covered this in the Gio Gonzalez thread.



2) MFYs will give him a job; Severino will be out for a month+ with an injury



3) "Mets people" say they didn't like him last year, someone said

[Ceetar]

Isn't he basically Vargas already and trending down? The Yankees already have their an injury, so there's presumably a potential role.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I think some of our perspective is skewed on account of him being like 43-2 / 2.14 lifetime vs the Mets

He's slow, he walks a ton, he's slow, he'll bust the 100-pitch plateau by the 4th inning. Oh yeah, and he's really, really slow and agonizingly frustrating to watch.

[Edgy MD]

Close enough. He's 15-6 / 2.83.

The deal also has an opt-out for GG if he's not on the ML club by April 20

Chances are, on the Yanx, that he will be (hell, he might start opening day) where he'd be less likely to be among the starting five in Queens by that date.
