Ouch. Not Good.
July 17, 2008When Wright Goes Wrong?
July 17, 2008Former Indian, Brewer and Mariner Richie Sexson looks like he has found a new job. In New York. Sexson is on the verge of signing with the Yankees. He will be used primarily against left-handers. Good move Yankees. Quality. The rest of the league applauds your decision. I’m sure Richie will do just fine in the pressure cooker of Yankee stadium. I’m sure your fans will give him a chance to prove what he can do.
In all seriousness it is a win-win for the Yankees. The Mariners have to pay the majority of Sexson’s salary this year, and New York gets a giant wind machine at home plate to cool the fans off. What’s not to like? And if he strikes out too many times you can send him to the Giants to replace Strahan.

Sexon is a douchebag who is on team douchebag in the city of Douchebags.
I should have expected that I guess…
Pssst, the Yankees are paying him $190,000 and even this year he is hitting .344 against lefties. I think it’s worth the risk.
For what like him starting 25 games? That’s not the Yankees we have all come to loathe. Those Yankees would go find a guy that doesn’t have to platoon…
Sexson lifetime at Yankee stadium- a buck twenty five. Don’t waste the time.
