Report: Juan Gonzalez Signs With Yankees?

what the hell?

guys that's a joke because in Puerto Rico we celebrate like an april fools day but in december 28 and that was the newspaper joke for the day

themfightnwords... those are the first three words that came to mind for me also. What the hell?

Dont worry people, its a joke.. In south america, on December 28th is like the April Fools Day in America.. Its the "Santos Inocentes" day.. that means Saint Innocents ;)

Even Funnier instance of regretting a 100 million dollar contract...

I wonder how the Giants Brass is feeling about the one they handed out just 1 year ago.

That was pretty weak attempt bravesbeast...

1. Juan is a single person. Giants are a multi-million $$ corporation.

2. Giants needed a big name and got one of the biggest available.

3. Giants were able to raise their payroll due to the Nats, so the extra went to Zito...no big deal.

4. Giants have a 90 mill payroll, so Zito's contract doesn't hamper them at all.

5. A last place team needs to overpay FA's to give other FA's a reason to come. It worked, we now have Aaron Rowand.

Another lame comment!

So the first 1/2 season of a 5 year contract shows if a player is worth it?

Yeah, it never takes a player a little time to adjust to a new team and division. Not to mention that he will be up against the best pitching division in the NL.

I think I'll stick with a more knowledgeable approach.

Tim,

He probably read it then ran and told all his friends its true. Then they roasted him for it...now he's crying...

lol

Curse, I disagree with your disagreement...lol

Rowand was one of the top FA's available, not "someone". He also brings a hard nosed, gritty attitude to the locker room that Barry never had.

While I agree the Giants should sell the old guys...there has to be a buyer. Who the hell wants Ray Durham or Rich Aurilia?

Ray, Rich and possibly Omar come off the books next season, so there is more money to spend.

It's just so far-fetched, why post it at all? Especially since the correction came just two hours after. Didn't mean to offend though. The site is great.

By the way Zito, I'm not a Yankee fan, so it makes no difference to me either way.

hoboken, its a good thing you werent around for the Carlos Lee april fools joke a couple of years ago. That would he really pissed you off. Lol. hoboken, you also have to realize that Tim probably comes across a lot of far fetched stuff every day, its a rumor site so almost all of it is not a sure thing at the time he posts it. It seems silly now, but it might have seemed silly last year when we heard a similar story about how Sammy Sosa had just signed a contract with Texas, so you never know. There are going to be errors though when you have to pick and choose the "quality" rumors from the really fake ones. Not a big deal at all imo. I dont think any Yankee fans were jumping around all excited thinking they signed Juan Gone only to realize within an hour that their dreams had been smashed by a cruel spanish joke :).

Tim,
Understood, thanks. Again, nothing personal. I enjoy reading the site.

nrmax, I think if that signing were true, I'd DENY being a Yankee fan :)
