BIG CHANGESThis is the new home for Depressed Fan and Green Pinstripes' Yankee coverage. You can still find your Jets coverage at GP, the Sixers are still at DF and the Eagles have a new home at Don't Boo The Birds.

Pettitte Is Back!

Here's the link. Please call Minnesota and tell them "Thanks, but no thanks."

Much more later, just wanted to share the good news.

UPDATE (11:36 a.m.)

Here are the details:
  • Pettitte will sign for the same $16M, one-year deal he declined earlier.
  • His agent, Randy Hendricks, has confirmed.
Peter Abraham still thinks the Yanks are players in the Johan sweepstakes, but this should take the stink of desperation off them. Their starting rotation, as it stands right now: Wang, Pettitte, Joba, Hughes, Kennedy, Mussina, is leaps and bounds ahead of the rotation they started with last year. The same rotation that brought the team to a 94-win season.

Their opening-day rotation consisted of Pettitte, Pavano, Mussina, Rasner and Igawa in 2007.

Saw the Confirmation from Pettitte's agent.........


Thanx for one more year Andy!

Great timing too. I hope they take Hughes off the table now.

How about Santana for Shelley Duncan and Kei Igawa?

I don't want to give up Frankenstien. :)

Fair enough. Just Igawa then.

WOW... this is great news!
Didn't you say before the Yankees have a time limit on their offer? Well at this point, I'd say time expired...Kennedy and Melky for Santana or no deal. No Hughes in the offer.

I wonder what changed Pettite's mind?

Probably $16M, and the fact that Posada and Mo are coming back.
