Yankees Sign Jose De Paula

By Mark Polishuk | November 12, 2014 at 10:09am CDT

The Yankees have signed left-hander Jose De Paula to a one-year, Major League contract, the team announced.  It’s a split contract that will pay De Paula $510K if the majors and $175K in the minors, the New York Post’s Joel Sherman reports (Twitter link).

De Paula, 26, has a 3.86 ERA, 7.9 K/9 and 3.43 K/BB rate over 452 1/3 career innings in the minors.  He spent his first six pro seasons in the Padres organization before pitching for the Giants’ Triple-A club last season.  Eighty-nine of De Paula’s 105 career outings have been as a starter, though since the Yankees are short on left-handed relief options, it seems likelier that the team will use him out of the bullpen on the Major League level.

    Paving the way for a Max Scherzer signing I’m sure.

      I know you’re joking, but in reality I think it might be paving the way for the yankees to trade Phelps or Warren for a SS.

          I think Phelps for Alexi could be a good deal but you might have to throw in Whitley too

            Maybe throw in Brendan Ryan, the Sox would need someone to replace Alexi plus the Yankees would be giving up too much pitching depth although the Sox are looking for RHP’s.

              Am I the only one who likes Brendan Ryan? It’s like only me and maybe his mom talking about how good his defense is, and how we totally believe he could hit better if he played everyday.

                No, actually i think he’s a great defensive player, and like his hustle

              Well, as long as Brendan Ryan is in the deal….

                The Yankees have been using him as a bench player since Jeter of course got the most play. But in Ryan’s last 2 full seasons of play he put a 4 WAR and a 3.4 WAR.

                  I like Brendan Ryan. I would love to see him get more playing time. He is good. He won the Fielding Bible award a couple of years ago for his defense, and I am convinced if he could play everyday his bat would be decent. Although, I would be more confident in that if Kevin Long were still the hitting coach, but that is for another thread, I am sure.

                    If NY had a surefire offense going into 2015 I’m sure they’d take Ryan’s .200 w/e average, etc and his amazing defense, but they need somebody who can at least hit a little right now because of how big of a question mark the offense is.

                      Yes, but it could also be argued that the offense is already there: McCann, Beltran, and Teixeira all underperformed last season.

                    Yes it it is another story, Kevin Longball was one of the main causes IMO that the batting averages have been down the last few seasons.

                    When the Yankees got Ryan from Seattle in 2013, Long said that the problem was that he had had too many changes in his stance and approach over the years. Long thought he could fix him. If I were the new Yankees batting coach (?) I would show up on Ryan’s doorstep this Winter and work with him for a while. If Ryan showed improved hitting in Spring Training it would sure help the team and start the new batting coach out on the right foot.

                      Another way of saying this might be, “If I were Brendan Ryan, I would hire a hitting coach in the offseason and work on my hitting”

          Phelps could net something good.

        I’m not sure what either of them nets, unless they’re a piece of a larger package.

    Not a terrible move. I don’t know why it’s a major league deal, but he could be nice in the bullpen. He’s still only 26

      He would have been eligible for the Rule 5 draft in a few weeks if it’d been an MiLB deal.

      He does have a good track record with these kinds of signings, so my sarcasm detector is being thrown off right now.

        Rogers, Huff, Wheeler, Eury Perez, probably won’t stay on the roster, Romine whitley and claiborne are other possibilities. They use like 5 spots for protection every year.

    Must have really liked what they saw. He has an option so as long as they feel he worth a 40 man spot it’s just money.

    With Lindgren, Pazos and Webb, I don’t think they had a need for Lefty reliever. I mean maybe if they got a proven one, but I don’t see him as proven

    Maybe Cashman has found his calling. The Headleys, McCarthys,Prados, Youngs, Capuano, Soriano, Ibanez type deals seem to work for him more then those longterm megamillion blockbusters. Refreshing. Stay away from the ” BIG DEALS”!

    This, along with the Chris Young signing, really makes for an exciting off-season. Rest, Cashman, rest.
