Armando Galarraga, he of the perfect game that was but suddenly wasn't, has joined the Yankees as a minor league pitching instructor

As Boland so kindly noted, Armando Galarraga is best remembered for his perfect game that wasn’t on June 2, 2010 thanks to a blown call by first base umpire Jim Joyce.
Anyway, we’re all human and the past is the past, but this is a rather interesting decision by the New York Yankees.
The 34-year old Armando Galarraga decided to hang up his cleats last December after a few stints in international leagues, but he last pitched in the MLB in 2012.
