The Yankees have inked 29-year old righty reliever/starter John Van Benschoten to a minor league deal. He pitched in 22 games (13 starts) in AAA-ball last season and he was 2-8 with a 6.35 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP. Van Benschoten last pitched in the majors in 2008 with the Pirates. He has pitched in 26 games (19 starts) in his major league career and he is 2-13 with a 9.20 ERA and a 2.14 WHIP. Van Benschoten is one of the only pitchers on the planet who would have a terrible record with the Yankees as he is one of the worst pitchers I have ever seen. They better hope they don’t need him in 2010.
