We are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now!

Last I remembered, Garcia couldn't win a spot in the Mets rotation

Yankees acquired Justin Maxwell from the Nats for Adam Obychev, forget it i'm not even going to try to spell his last name. Not sure where J-Max fits, saw him play a little bit last year. Decent speed/defense, insurance I guess in the event that Jones gets hurt.

To make room for Maxwell.

Garcia was very solid for the White Sox in 2010. If our bullpen was any help to him, he could have very easily won 17 or 18 games last year.

Garcia will have a good year, wait and see

NEW YORK -- A person familiar with the arrangements says Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte plans to announce his retirement Friday at a news conference at Yankee Stadium.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the news conference had not yet been announced.

Pettitte has been telling the team since the end of the season that it was likely he wouldn't play in 2011. He became a free agent and has not attempted to negotiate a contract.

His intention to retire first was reported by YES Network's Michael Kay.

The 38-year-old left-hander is 240-138 with a 3.88 ERA n 16 major-league seasons. He excelled in the postseason, setting a major league record for wins by going 19-10 with a 3.83 ERA.

Pettitte's departure leaving a huge hole in the Yankees' rotation, with no proven starters behind CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnett.

AJ better learn how to pitch again....

Do you think Whitey Ford has signed with anyone yet?
