This really stinks for both sides as the Yankees, according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, were...

Yankees Release Luis Vizcaino
Via Joel Sherman of the NY Post:
On the subject of the bullpen, the Yankees were quietly excited about agreeing with Luis Vizcaino on a minor league contract. Vizcaino wore down in 2007 under heavy usage by Joe Torre as a Yankee and did not pitch at all in the majors last year as his arm continued to be problematic. But in Winter...

The Yankees Think it's 2002

Yanks sign Colon
Amidst the snow storm, the Yanks signed Bartolo Colon to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. He will reportedly make $900,000 plus incentives if he makes the team, so it’s similar to the contracts of Mark Prior and Luis Vizcaino.
The 37-year-old didn’t pitch last year, but was apparently very solid in the Dominican League this winter. In seven starts he allowed more than...

The New York Yankees are not having a good off season to say the least. Ok they signed afew guys they wanted to sign, but none of those guys are that great to begin with.

New develops in Pettittewatch 2011
According to a person with “knowledge of Pettitte’s thinking,” there is little chance the lefty returns for the 2011 season. This omniscient bastard says there is a 30% chance Pettitte pitches next season and there is a “very real possibility he retires.”
I call foul. I think this is just a move to gain leverage in potential contract negotiations. Pettitte...

MLB: Yankees Go Back In Time To Find A Reliever... Welcome Back, Luis Vizcaino
The New York Yankees relied on the right arm of Luis Vizcaino as their bridge to Mariano Rivera in 2007. The Yankees acquired him in the deal that also brought along Randy Johnson for a short amount of time. Then they sent Vizcaino on his way and chose not to re-sign him when his contract expired.

Yankees sign another reliever – Luis Vizcaino
I read this from Marc Carig/The Star-Ledger.
I remember when Luis Vizcaino played for the Yankees.
It looks like he did well in the Winter League…
But he pitched well in 12 appearances for Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League, allowing just one run in 11 2/3 innings (0.77 ERA).
