Presenting Your Next Yankee Disappointment

Daisuke Matsuzaka, welcome to the big leagues. You’re about to get paid. The old, pitching depleted Yankees are desperate. Steinbrenner is losing his mind and you are a highly touted pitching prospect which will be awarded to the highest bidder. You had a 2.16 ERA and over 200 strikeouts. Seriously, you’re going to be set for life.  Yankee fans will start to froth in anticipation. Expectations might be a little high, just ask Hideki Irabu. Everything’s going to work out fine though, even if you end up sucking. Which is probably likely. I mean, there’s no way. It’s the Yankees. They have a long history of expensive foreign pitchers being extreme disappointments. (See Hideki Irabu, Jose Contreras etc.) But still, P-A-I-D! No worries man.
