When I first saw this last night on the ESPN newswire, I nearly shit myself. I thought we actually traded for Ponson.
Then I saw that we are simply going to sign him, and St. Louis is still responsible for his league-minimum salary.
Oh well. I suppose we could give him a try, since Chacon has been a shell of his 2005 year and we could use a 5th starter.
Sir Sidney will hopefully leave his booze at home lest he be ridiculed even further by Yankee fans. :p

On trade rumor notes, I see that the Yankees might have Melky as one of their big potential trade baits before the deadline. I think that catch he made on 6/6/06 was pretty nuts, and has solidified him as at least a Yankee bench player.
BTW - Ruben Sierra was just made a free agent. I'd love to see him back in pinstripes again, even if he isn't very consistent.
