Chan Ho Park Signs With Yanks
Reports are making the rounds that Chan Ho Park signed a one year $1.2 million deal to play for the Bronx Bombers. Park had his moments last year in the Phillies bullpen and that's most likely the roll he'll fill in New York. The competition for the fifth spot in the rotation has mostly been seen as coming down to Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain, with Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre thrown in to make things look interesting but would the Yankees consider returning Park to a starting gig? It's possible but most likely he'll just get some innings coming out of the pen and will need to prove he can handle the AL. It's looking like either Gaudin or Mitre's days are numbered.

Chan Ho Park should be no more than their long reliever and spot starter. I would certainly put him above Gaudin, whose WHIP and K/BB are scaringly consistent over the years. And probably over Mitre as well, who is another hyped Cubs pitching prospect who didn't pan out at all. If Joba can't fill the 5th starter role, I'm sure you'll see another acquisition before you see Park handed the role.
