Addition by subtraction...
According to today's Hardball Times, the Yankees are on the verge of signing Eric Milton. Milton might actually pitch well in Yankee stadium, thanks to its spacious outfield where the flyballs go to die, but he isn't nearly the ace pitcher that the Yankees apparently think he is.
As for the Phillies, maybe this will encourage them to try re-signing Kevin Millwood at a discount, or to pursue Derek Lowe or Carl Pavano. If the Yankees sign Milton hopefully their pursuit of Pavano will abate. At a minimum, the Phillies have to be happy to see $9 million in payroll float away.
