BYB WOULD HAVE TAKEN A CHANCE ON VOGELSONG

Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle tweeted that it appears the San Francisco Giants are close to a deal with Ryan Vogelsong.

I'm hearing the #sfgiants are moving toward a deal to re-sign starter Ryan Vogelsong.

Vogelsong is a good pitcher. Not outstanding but in the Bronx, he would be a solid number 3 or 4.  Don't forget, the Yankees have only CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova and a lot of money in a safe somewhere in the Tri-state area for Masahiro Tanaka, assuming he will become available. That is yet to be seen considering Nippon Baseball and Major League Baseball are still negotiating how it all works between the 2 parties.

That leaves a handful of free-agents pitchers.  Ryan Vogelsong was one we mentioned in a piece called PITCHING FITS, written by Chad R MacDonald where he simply wrote:

"The real prize in San Francisco is Vogelsong. Bookmark that guy and check on him a lot. There is amazing talent and potential there. Should the Giants loosen their grip on him, the Yankees should wrest Ryan Vogelsong away. He would be the one I would go after."

Smart statement, but the Yankees aren't listening. Oh well.

We're on the pulse here.  If you know Yankee fans that aren't Bleeding Yankee Blue readers, you have an assignment, get them reading... share us and thank you.
