    Yankees Throwing Money at Pettitte

    The Yankees are willing to offer $12MM or $13MM to Andy Pettitte and are awaiting a decision from the lefty, tweets Jon Heyman of SI.com. As Heyman notes, either of those figures would represent a modest raise for Pettitte, who earned $11.75MM in 2010, according to Cot's Baseball Contracts. Pettitte, who has been playing on one-year deals in each of the past four seasons, will probably either re-sign with the Yankees or retire.
    For $13 million, why wouldn't Pettitte pitch one more year? He only threw 129 innings last year, 7 more in the past season, so he should be well rested for '11. The Yankees definitely need him so why the **** not, Andy?

    Boo hoo, I wanna spend time with my family, etc.

    If I'm his family, I'd be like, "listen, ****nut, go over there and make money while you still can."

    If you're his family you're a dick considering he's already made his family about 125 million dollars over his career.

    They should have just signed Carl Pavano instead. Yeah, it didn't work out when he was previously a Yankee but at least this time he isn't commanding $30 million.
