Morning Notes: Mitre, Gagne, Lackey
Written by Zach Sanders

  • With all of the Cy Young hype yesterday, the Yankees declining Sergio Mitre's option for 2010 fell through the cracks. They did not want to pay him $1.25MM, and understandably so. However, he is still under team control, and could be back with the team through a new deal or arbitration. Mitre isn't really a bad pitcher, just nothing special. He doesn't strike many people out, but he doesn't walk batters either. Also, his ground ball percentage impresses me (59.7% career).
  • Eric Gagne wants to return to the majors, but this time as a starter. He was originally a starter when he started his baseball career, but that ended a couple of seasons after he was called up to the bigs. As mentioned in the article, the Brewers will not be interested in his services. He's been working since he left the Brewers with shoulder issues, and has supposedly improved his arsenal with a cut fastball. He is worth a shot, because he is willing to start in the minors, but most teams won't be willing to waste their time on him.
  • The Nationals are interested in John Lackey. Let's be honest, everyone is interested in Lackey, but his asking price will deter most of them. I would bet cash money that the Nationals won't sign Lackey, giving them less than a 5% chance.
