5. Mariano Rivera
Rivera's .669 WHIP (Walks + Hits divided by Innings Pitched) is the lowest in history among 38-year old pitchers with 40+ innings.
4. Xavier Nady & Damaso Marte
The Yanks recently sent top prospect Jose Tabata and pitchers Ross Ohlendorf, Dan McCutchen, Jeff Karstens to Pittsburgh for Nady and Marte. Marte is probably the first effective lefty the Yanks have had in their bullpen since Mike Stanton and Nady will help fill in for the injured Matsui. On the prospect side of the deal, the Yanks really didn't have to give much up. Once heralded as the future CF of the Yanks, Tabata has struggled as of late. He has put on more weight than expected and now profiles more as a RF (think Manny Ramirez). He has also struggled with a wrist injury and has been suspended several times for showing up late. Ohlendorf is a hard throwing righty out of Princeton who has struggled with command and Karstens has bounced up and down between AAA and the Yankees for several years now. McCutchen is probably the only player in this deal that has a shot at having some success in the majors. After serving a 50 game suspension for steroids in 2006, McCutchen hasn't looked back posting a 3.77 ERA in 76+ innings this year in AAA. The most telling indicator of his future success is his consistently low BB/9 innings ratio (1.53).

2. Kenny Phillips
After his arrival was delayed due to weather, Phillips finally showed up at Giants training camp and signed a 5 year deal that could be worth $11.15 million. Look for him to have an immediate impact in the NFL.
