Andy Pettitte Fill-In Options
With Joe Girardi’s announcement that Andy is heading to the disabled list and Brian Cashman announcing it may be at least 3-4 weeks, the Yankees will need to come up with a starting pitcher for at least the next three turns around the rotation.

Marchand: Joba on the Block?
I’ve avoided going to the ESPN-NY well too often for fear of beating a dumb horse. Who better, then, to drag out their crackerjack analysis than Joba:
While this weekend will be a celebration of what George Steinbrenner accomplished, it very well could be a tipping point about what Joba Chamberlain...

Joe Girardi: Players Manager?
Whoops indeed:
Congratulations were in order for Michael Young after Joe Girardi named him to the American League All-Star team on Monday morning.
Congratulations, though, quickly turned into apologies as MLB officials informed the Texas Rangers third baseman that he wasn’t actually an All-Star...

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...

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.

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. ...

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...

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...

Yanks Didn’t Maximize Aceves or Hughes
Remember way back in June? The air was getting warm, the Yankees were getting a bit warmer, and suddenly the bullpen seemed to right itself.
Part of the reason the bullpen began to solidify was the emergence of Phil Hughes.
There was a second part to that equation: Alfredo Aceves.

Another walk-off, another come from behind win. Another hero.

Peter Abraham from The Journal News checks in on Chien-Ming Wang:

Should Joba and Hughes Switch Roles?
While most of us were grillin’ and chillin’ on Labor Day, Rob Neyer was laboring away:
It might be too late. But I wonder if the Yankees should send Phil Hughes to their secret compound in Tampa and retrain him to throw six innings at a pop. Because lately the Yankees seem to have only three...

Hocus Pocus Reason for Yankees Success
Anthony McCarron on the Yankees’ success since June:
The night everything changed for the Yankees started out like any other night in what was rapidly turning into a lost season. It was June 24, and the Bombers had been so bad in the two weeks leading up to their game in Atlanta that GM Brian Cashman...
