Yanks Sign Juan Gone?

From MinorLeagueBall.com -

...on another message board, someone posted this article

http://www.vocero.com/noticiasum.asp?id=11112

saying that the Yankees signed Juan Gonzalez (2 years, 2 million). But I'm not sure of the validity because it was written at 1 PM Friday and it hasn't been announced by ESPN/Yankees/Rotoworld/etc. and that Gonzalez probably couldn't get more than a minor league deal.

Juan Gonzlaez, perhaps the one person in the world who can make Carl Pavano seem like Cal Ripken Jr.

Juan Gonzalez, perhaps one of the few baseball players out there who can fail a PED test before it's taken out of it's package.

Juan Gonzalez, well, I could go on all day on this one...

Let's just hope that the story is not true. Even if it's just a Spring Training NRI situation, Cashman would be out of his mind if he pulled the trigger on this one.

(Thanks to WasWatching.com reader Nick M. for the heads-up on this report.)

December 28 in Spain is the equivalent of the US' April Fools Day so I wouldn't be surprised if it's also observed in Puerto Rico.

For once, I'm relieved to be punk'd.
