Yankees sign LaTroy Hawkins

The New York Post is reporting that the Yankees have signed RP LaTroy Hawkins to a one-year, $3.75 million deal, pending a physical. Good move?

Hawkins was awful when he was younger and in the American League.

Cool Re: Yankees sign LaTroy Hawkins

I don't like it. But the Yankees will not sign any middle reliever for more than a year deal.

From Newsday:
Quote:
The Yankees, having been burned in the past by pitchers such as Steve Karsay, Paul Quantrill and Kyle Farnsworth, are reluctant to commit more than one year to any reliever.

Well, considering that track record, I can't blame them. If they find a winner, they can always lock him up after the fact.

I understand, but a 2 year deal for a little better pitcher is not unreasonable.
