Yankees 2016 Free Agent Target: Scott Kazmir

The 32-year-old southpaw has enjoyed a career renaissance over the past few seasons. Still, is the historically enigmatic Kazmir worth the risk of a long-term deal?

2015 Stats: 183 IP, 3.10 ERA, 3.98 FIP, 162 H, 2.9 BB/9, 7.6 K/9, 20 HR, 1.208 WHIP

2016 Age: 32

Position: Left-handed starting pitcher

Scott Kazmir's name should sound familiar to New York baseball fans. The Mets drafted the southpaw 15th overall in 2002 out of Cypress Falls High School in Houston. After dominating the minors for a couple seasons, Kazmir was on Queens' doorstep by late 2004.
