TGS NY: Yankees scouted Yu Darvish
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com on Thursday that the team scouted Darvish during the 2011 season, in which he went 18-6 with a 1.44 ERA for the Nippon Ham Fighters.
“We scout Japanese baseball the same way we scout the American League and the National League,” Cashman said. “We had a wave of scouts there all season.”
Hopefully not the same scouts that watched Kei Igawa.
While I fully embrace a pursuit of Darvish, the Yankees aren’t going anywhere until they get clutch postseason players like Allen Craig and David Freese to replace their bums like Nick Swisher, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez.
