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

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...

Vazquez To The Yankees: Our Analysis

Ian: When the Red Sox improved their rotation last week, acquiring the services of arguably the best starting pitcher on the free agent market in John Lackey, Yankee fans fretted. Suddenly the Sox boasted a rotation brimming with three number-one starter types in Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, and Lackey. ...

Pitching Options

Now that the biggest fish in the pitching ocean has been signed (John Lackey), it is time for the Yankees to look at their own pitching depth to see if there is a move they should make for their own rotation. I am of the belief that you should never overreact to what other teams do. The Yankees...

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?

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...

Granderson A Good Fit For The Yankees

A day after the Brian Bruney shocker, the Yankees made an even bigger deal today (if you can believe it): they acquired CF Curtis Granderson in a three-way trade with the Tigers and Diamondbacks. The Yankees lose highly-touted CF prospect Austin Jackson and lefty reliever Phil Coke to Detroit, along...

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...

A Personal World Series Dedication

Vito came to the United States from Italy in 1903, eager to grasp the brass ring and all the benefits that came with this great country. He was brave, he was curious, and most of all full of the hope that a new life and opportunity would bring. He was my grandfather. “Pop” quickly fell in...

Looking Ahead: 2010 Starting Pitchers

We hear a lot nowadays about big market teams, middle market teams, little market teams…and of course, the Yankees. There are a lot of things these franchises have in common; a lot of things they don’t have in common. But one of the big things they do have in common is this: ...

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...
