Yankees Re-Sign Sergio Mitre

By Zachary Links | December 1, 2010 at 10:35pm CDT

The Yankees have re-signed Sergio Mitre to a one-year, $900K deal, reports Jerry Crasnick of ESPN (via Twitter).  The right-hander could earn up to $200K more through incentives.  Mitre was entering his third year of arbitration eligibility.

Mitre appeared in 27 games for the Yanks in 2010, registering a 3.33 ERA with 4.8 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9.  While the 29-year-old didn't start many games for the Bombers last season, he does have 64 career starts to his credit, giving the Yankees an option as a spot starter.

    I don’t see any real reason for this signing. Sure, it provides some pitching depth with major league experience, but as a fan, and I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I would rather see some of the minor league talent get a crack at it if there happens to be an injury, not Mitre.

      The Yankees have an extremely flexible 40 man, it’s cheap, veteran, talent backing up what is currently a fragile rotation and bullpen, a pitcher coming off a very successful and healthy season finally two years removed from TJ, it’s a minor raise, you really don’t see any benefits? Why rush the talent in the minors into non guaranteed playing time? Every team in the majors has players like Mitre on its roster.

        Texas has a shortstop named Elvis. The Yankees are paying $400 million to Derek Jeter.

          Don’t even mention Derek Jeter in the same post as Andrus. Andrus is a cocky bum who doesn’t hit for average or power and is an average defender. Can you say: Most overrated SS in baseball? BTW Andrus idolizes Jeter but he’ll never be half the player or person Jeter is.

            The objective in hitting is to not create an out, yes? Some 2010 stats to tide you over:

            Jetek Jeter: .340 OBP, 8.5 BB%
            Elvis Andrus: .342 OBP, 9.5 BB%

            Also, Jeter had a -5.4 UZR/150 whereas Andrus was 0.3. I’m not even taking into account that Andrus is nowhere near typical prime years.

            Andrus idolizes Jeter but he’ll never be half the .. person Jeter is.

            Are you friends with Jeter? Or his boyfriend?

            Perhaps you should change your approach in trolling that excludes you from looking like a numpty. Just a thought.

            Elvis – 293 GP, 284 H, 32 2B, 11 3B, 6 HR, 75 RBI, 65 SB, 104 BB, 173 SO, .266/.336/.670

            Jeter – 15 GP, 12 H, 4 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 7 RBI, 0 SB, 3 BB, 11 SO, .250/.294/.669

              I agree Elvis is a very good player, especially for how young he is…but Jeter is a 1st ballot hall of fame shortstop. To expect Andrus, or any young player to replicate that, or even come remotely close to that is pie in the sky thinking.

                No doubt Jeter is first ballot HOF, if not even getting 100% votes. But to say Elvis isn’t half of what Jeter is, is absurd until we see how his career unfolds. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him getting signed by the Yankees, seeing how they can’t stand other teams getting better.

                Part of the argument was Andrus is an average defender while defending Jeter. Andrus has a 12.2 UZR so far in his young career, where Jeter has a career -42.4 UZR, and has only been a truly above average defender once – 2009.

                Another part was Jeter did hit for power and Andrus doesn’t. It took Jeter 4 seasons to hit for some power, 5 to really boost his .ISO. Unfortunately, Jeter only managed to get his .ISO over .200 just this once, or remotely close for that matter.

                As for OBP, Jeter has the edge in this one so far career wise because of BA. Their walk rates are identical. Let the kid play and see how things turn out.

              He won a ROY and a World Series…Oh and he hit a homerun, at some point, during both the regular season and the playoffs that year…Seriously? I know it’s popular to hate on Jeter but it will be very difficult for most shortstops anywhere to match the career Derek has had. He’s going to have 3000 hits and he’s a first ballot Hall of Famer whether you think his defense is overrated or not.

              Can you honestly say the same for Andrus after one “good” season?

                Not really, it just states that Andrus is a much mature player than Jeter was at the same age.

              And why would they be without Lee? Would the Yankees have made it past the Twins without CC? Would Giants have won the WS without Lincecum?

                You definitely are playing dumb. At least I made sense whether you agreed with me or not. The Rangers got lucky, okay? IMO they would never have made it deep into the playoffs without Cliff Lee. Even CJ Wilson said that he pitched better because Lee was there and he learned how to pitch to the Rays, Yankees, and Giants lineups. The Rangers are a good team but not a perennial winning team. Many players just had good years at the same time (Hamilton, Vlad, Lewis, Wilson, Feliz). I find it hard to believe that those same players will repeat their 2010 performances because of their unproven track record.

                I’m done. I think I’ve made my point.

                  Feliz was a rookie. He had a so-called “unproven track record” because there was nothing to compare to.

                  Lewis had spent the prior two seasons in Japan, leading the league in strikeouts each year while being near the top of the league in ERA. Ok, maybe he didn’t have a “proven ML track record” but he was no total fluke either.

                  And as already pointed out by WonderboyRooney10, you were way off base with your statement that Hamilton and Guerrero had “unproven track records”. Take a look at some of these players’ stats over their careers and you’ll see that these performances were not simply a matter of a few players “having good seasons at the same time”.

                    The joke will always be on you because the Yankees can always compensate for a high payroll.

                    Not to mention, besides A-Rod, who else fits that bill? Sabathia, Cano, Jeter (if he’s resigned), Teix down the road….none of those guys make 25+….And only Jeter stands to be terrible when his contract is over due to age…

                      They can’t compensate money for money when the players are playing for $25mil when their careers are twilighting. You can’t force them to retire, and no team would want those contracts.

                        Again, besides A-Rod, who are you talking about? Even Lee allegedly is not being offered 25 per. Sabathia isn’t and will be 36 at the end of term, Burnett will be 35 at the end of term, Teixeira will be somewhere around 36…It’s really only A-Rod who is going to be bad for an extended time, and he’s also the only guy on the roster who makes 25+.

                        Jeter will be bad too, but likely will make around 10 less than that per year.

                        And again, even if your facts were accurate, the Yankees wouldn’t need to trade the contracts. They are a cash cow, they could easily hide A-Rod like they will with Posada next year.

                        They have created a brand which can sustain mistakes, but at the very least it seems Cash has full reign with Hal in charge now, so the Yankees will be making far less Igawa and A-Rod contracts and far more Granderson/Swisher trades and Tex deals.

                          You are right about A-Rod being the only one, so I take that back.

                          But considering the prime of a players career generally ends at age 33, some of those contracts don’t look exactly spectacular.

                          That Granderson trade wasn’t really anything to get excited over. Will he continue the success he had in the 2nd half? I doubt it. But he shouldn’t be as bad as he was in the first half.

                Because CC is under contract with the Yankees and Lee was about one hour from becoming a Yankee? Lee was a rental? I think it’s valid to say without Lee, Texas doesn’t escape the ALDS, while it makes no sense to compare the Yankees being without CC. Not to mention, the Yankees swept the Twins, so yes, likely they would have won either in a sweep anyway (CC was not dominant) or in four games with Pettitte going at home the next day. They didn’t go five games and need their ace to win on the other team’s field after he already had dominated one game in the series.

                CC was the worst Yankee starter in that series. Pettitte and Hughes pitched excellent

              Without Sabathia, the Yankees wouldn’t have even made the playoffs. What’s your point?

          Because they will be a wayyyyyyy better team then the Rangers next year. They’ve got a better rotation: Weaver, Haren, Santana and a better line-up Kendry Morales, Torii Hunter, Carl Crawford. The Rangers caught a huge break this year with the Angels struggling without Kendry Morales.

            So Yankees will sign Lee and Angels have already signed Crawford?

            Can you predict my future?

            I wouldn’t pencil Crawford into their lineup until he’s actually signed.

            Last year the Angels seemed to have a better rotation (Weaver, Santana, Saunders, Pineiro) than Texas (Feldman, Wilson, Lewis, Harden) but that was completely negated by the fact that Texas had a better offensive and defensive lineup.

            And the Angels were already in third place at the time Morales went down with his injury. So how exactly did Texas “catch a huge break” when they already had a lead in the division when the injury happened at the end of May? I’ll agree that Morales was a huge loss for the Angels and disrupted their lineup for some time. But that lone injury did not hand the division title to the Rangers.

      It’s a good thing Jon Daniels constructed his World Series roster of players based on six game sample sizes. He should have cut Hamilton after the ALDS and moved Lee to the bullpen during his rough patch in early September…

    Giraldo (Girardi) just loves this guy….big man crush on him…..he stinks and can only be used for mop up duty…i agree with the above comments…give a young guy a shot..at least there is a chance of some upside and the yanks play some lopsided games, so you could break a kid in and if he shows promise, you can expand his role. You can’t expand this guys role…i guess some spot starts….but sheesh

      The two are completely separate situations. You can’t reasonably compare a franchise shortstop with a guy who could likely be the 25th player on the roster and will likely fill nothing more than a long reliever role. One is completely independent of the other.

    Wow, major freakout over an arb-eligible guy getting tendered a contract with essentially the same salary he had last year. Lock your doors and bar the windows.

    The bigger issue here–bigger than the money–is that the Yankees intend to give Mitre a 40-man roster spot as they head into the Rule 5 draft. It must mean they have little regard for the pool of talent available there and don’t intend to take anyone.

    Furthermore, this committment to Mitre really isn’t a big deal. Remember that every March, arb-eligible players such as Mitre who have signed one year contracts can be released with either 30 days(1/6 of that season’s salary) or 45 days(1/4 of that season’s salary) owed to them being the only committment. That translates to either $150,000 or $225,000 if the Yankees decide to release Mitre(and he clears waivers and is released) next spring.

    So, no big deal, everyone. 😉

      Actually if you peep Lohud, they can make this signing, resign Jeter and Pettitte, sign Lee, and still have 1-2 roster spots open, plus Reegie Corona is disposable…The Yankees currently only have 33 on the 40 man roster.

    Hmmm, not a fan of Mitre but he has been good on rare occasions. But when you see Mitre pop into a game it means one of three things:

    1. A pitcher is injured
    2. A pitcher couldn’t go more than 3+ innings
    3. We are losing so badly it doesn’t matter

    So congrats on signing more “depth”, but I wouldn’t lose sleep over losing Mitre.

      2 and 3 are related.

    With a team payroll of more then $100 million dollars and Mitre making less then $1 million. Tells me IF he were to even win 1 game for the Yankees, they will consider it a perfectly fine spending of money. Sabathia earned $24 million and won 21 games. No one is complaining about that contract….I know it seems ridicilous, but this is the Yankees and they do not have the same fiscial responisbility that the Royals or Twins need to have.

    This is not a big deal at all but the only question I have is “why a major lge deal as opposed to a minor one?. If he’s signing back with the Yankees as a “depth” acquisition then chances are he really didn’t have a lot of offers out there. It would be difficult for me to believe that there isn’t anyone in the Rule 5 draft or unprotected in our own system that wouldn’t be more useful long or short term over Mitre. Guys like Mitre are readily available around spring training time. I’m convinced that Mitre has some dirt on Girardi.
