Kyle Farnsworth might be Brian Cashman's worst free agent signing, even more than Carl Pavano. At least Pavano had the excuse of injuries.
Joe Girardi's comments about Farnsworth is making him seem a bit silly.
Girardi was quoted, “Kyle’s history gets brought up during the course of this year, where I feel he’s had a ton of good outings.”
Hmm. In his last seven games, Farnsworth has a 8.59 E.R.A. Opponents are hitting .414 and slugging .897 against him, with 4 home runs.
Get real Joe. Farnsworth was been awful for three years. He has no movement on his fastball, and would make a good batting practice pitcher. For a high school team. He chokes in important situations, so there's no way he's going to get this team through the 8th inning of a close game.
Cashman and his crew need to pay attention to developing some relief pitchers in the organization, instead of blowing millions on guys with no talent, like Farnsworth and Latroy Hawkins.
