Yankees Waiting on Pujols and Mauer?

Yankees Waiting on Pujols and Mauer?
Uh….  what? Pujols is talking a good game with the Cardinals. But can he really ignore the 10-year, $27.5 million-per-year deal that Alex Rodriguez got from the Yankees two years ago, when he was older than Pujols will be when his contract ends after the 2011 season? The difficulties tying up...

The Vazquez Trade: The Day After

The Vazquez Trade: The Day After
It’s the day after the Yankees traded for Javier Vazquez and the fans are split.  I’ve heard and read a lot of different opinions over the last two days about this trade and thought it was worth addressing a few of them. 1. Melky Cabrera. A lot of people are treating Melky Cabrera like the...

Why Nick and Not Matsui?

Why Nick and Not Matsui?
Looks like the only thing left bringing DH/1B Nick Johnson back to New York is the dotting of the I’s.  The $5.5 million price tag has left many wondering why the accident prone Johnson and not the gimpy-legged Matsui? Jason over at IIATMS led the charge: Nick Johnson has the potential to thrive...

Melky or Gardner?

Melky or Gardner?
Now that Curtis Granderson is a Yankee, Brett Gardner’s name is popping up.  ESPN’s Trade Rumors: The Curtis Granderson deal seems to have made Brett Gardner a more valuable commodity. Gardner became expendable in New York once Granderson was acquired in a three-team deal, and the latest...

Undervaluing the DH Role

Undervaluing the DH Role
No, this isn’t a rant trying to advocate Edgar Martinez for the Hall of Fame. The scuttlebutt around the New York Yankees since the end of the season has focused squarely on the futures of Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon.  It’s interesting, almost comical really, to think that there is any...

Wrapping Up the World Series

Wrapping Up the World Series
It had all the makings of high drama. Andy Pettitte, a homegrown pitcher, a man perennially on the verge of retirement, throwing on three days rest. Pedro Martinez, a relic from another era when the Yankees seemed like they could do no wrong. It felt like a game straight out of 1999, when the Yankees...

DH Question Looms in the Off-Season

DH Question Looms in the Off-Season
Tyler Kepner on the future of Hideki Matsui: Matsui will be a free agent after the World Series, and the Yankees are eager to open up designated hitter as a place to rest veterans like third baseman Alex Rodriguez, catcher Jorge Posada, Jeter and perhaps left fielder Johnny Damon, who is also a free...

Girardi Leaving Too Much To Chance

Girardi Leaving Too Much To Chance
Two possible games left in the World Series and Joe Girardi isn’t positive who is starting game 6?  Chad Jennings: Martinez pitched well in Game 2. He struck out eight while allowing three runs on six hits through six innings. He will be pitching on five day’s rest. The Yankees starter,...

World Series Game 5 Thoughts

World Series Game 5 Thoughts
Random thoughts from my Kitchen Command Center while Chase Utley gives me the Fear: ◊  Not exactly a great start for Cliff Lee, but an even worse start for AJ Burnett. Of course, Burnett gave up four runs to start game five of the ALCS and settled down before the Yankees stormed back, only to lose...
