Yankees get Chan Ho'd

So the Yankees signed Chan Ho Park as roster filler yesterday. Hey, its not my $1.2 million they're spending, so good on them.

I've been playing fantasy baseball since 1996, and I think the three pitchers I've had the most fun with have been Jose Lima, Ramon Martinez and Chan Ho. By fun, I mean mocking the teams in my league who somehow ended up having any of these three on their active roster. With Park, it became so bad that whenever someone's pitcher had a disaster start, we would say they got "Chan Ho'd".

So now the pitcher who somehow managed to put together a decent two-thirds of a season out of the bullpen in the non-DH league, on a team that got to face the Nationals, Marlins, Braves and decimated Mets more than anyone else now moves to the AL East and gets the Red Sox, Rays, and rejuvenated Orioles on a regular basis. Hey - at least he'll see the Blue Jays every now and then.

Color me a hater - or at least a skeptic - but I do not see this ending well.
