Minors Report for 6/18/10 (Jesus Montero; Jonathan Albaladejo; Eduardo Nunez; Hector Noesi; George Kontos Returns)

Minors Report for 6/18/10 (Jesus Montero; Jonathan Albaladejo; Eduardo Nunez; Hector Noesi; George Kontos Returns)
Scranton: Does Jesus Montero think he is Brett Gardner all of a sudden? Montero went 3-for-4 tonight with a single, double, and a triple (his second in two games!) to help Scranton take a 4-1 victory. All of a sudden, Montero is hitting .405 over his last ten games, and has eight extra base hits in...

Minors Report for 6/17/10 (Marcos Vechionacci; Shaeffer Hall)

Minors Report for 6/17/10 (Marcos Vechionacci; Shaeffer Hall)
Scranton: Jesus Montero actually legged out a triple tonight, but that was one of the three hits Scranton was able to muster as they got shutout, 2-0. The triple was Montero’s second of the season (which probably means that if Brett Gardner was running, they would have been inside-the-park home...

Left Field Options

Left Field Options
Since I was so “accurate” with my pitching options entry, I have now decided to breakdown some of the options for left field in 2010. I intentionally decided to withhold typing this up until after Jason Bay and Matt Holliday signed; as it seemed that a strong percentage of Yankees fans wanted...

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...

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...

Granderson A Good Fit For The Yankees

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...

Thoughts on ALCS Game 6

Thoughts on ALCS Game 6
Reflections on an evening I spent singing the Theme to New York, New York over and over while alone in my kitchen: ◊ Great game pitched by Andy Pettitte last night. It’s rare that you see Pettitte let out a yell or a fist pump but clearly, Andy was dialed in and on a mission. It’s funny...

Stay Positive: This Year Is Different

Stay Positive: This Year Is Different
These past three days have been torture.  No question.  For those of us that live and die with each Yankee victory or defeat, a crushing postseason loss followed by an off-day followed by a rainout followed by another day of waiting can seem cruel and unusual.  I’ve found myself constantly plagued...

ALCS Game 5 Thoughts

ALCS Game 5 Thoughts
Thoughts about the game while I try to stop my head from sadly shaking: ◊ Last night once again encapsulated AJ Burnett as a pitcher. Burnett came out in the bottom of the first and stunk up the joint, allowing four runs before an out was recorded.  A long flyout and double play later, AJ gets out...

Yanks and Angels: ALCS Thoughts

Yanks and Angels: ALCS Thoughts
I’ve been debating a full blown breakdown of the Yanks and Angels American League Championship Series that starts Friday, but there are so many great resources (including River Ave Blues very detailed breakdown) that I don’t think I’ll be adding much insight to the blogosphere. So instead,...

The Great Division Series Roster Debate

Yesterday, the soon-to-be-deposed Peter Abraham was riffing on the Yankees’ playoff roster possibilities. His look at the pitching staff possibilities shapes up like this: PITCHERS (10) LHP CC Sabathia RHP A.J. Burnett LHP Andy Pettitte RHP Mariano Rivera RHP Phil Hughes LHP Phil Coke RHP Alfredo Aceves RHP...

Yankees Only Scuffling By Their Standards

Yankees Only Scuffling By Their Standards
The Yankees entered their three game series with the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim California with more than a rally monkey on their back. The team had been on a tear for the better part of six weeks, rattling off winning streaks of seven and eight games with ease. Then they lost two out of...

Yanks Beat Angels; Speed Got Lucky

Yanks Beat Angels; Speed Got Lucky
Extra!  Extra!  Read all about it!  Yankees beat the Angels! My goodness.  Touring the beat writers and bloggers who recapped last night’s game, you would thing Davey had slain Goliath. Typically, the Angels have had the Yankees number over the years.  This much is true. This year, the Yankees...

2009 Yankees: What’s Changed From 2008

2009 Yankees: What’s Changed From 2008
Last night was an off day and there’s only so many articles you can post about Derek Jeter before the man starts to bore you. So, in an effort to find something to write about, I’m throwing together a comparison of this year’s team offensively to last year’s team. Yes, I know,...
