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
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. ...

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...

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...

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...

World Series Game 4 Thoughts
Random thoughts while watching a game that feels very long…
◊ I really wonder about Girardi’s ability to adapt on the fly. Sabathia was decent in game four but certainly not great. Girardi stated that CC could go 110 or 120 pitches on three days rest. The plan is to have CC pitch...

World Series Game 3 Thoughts
Some thoughts on Game 3, compiled while watching the Giants clash with the Eagles in the first half of an epic Philadelphia/New York Sunday doubleheader:
- I’m thrilled for Nick Swisher, who, despite struggling horrendously throughout this postseason and taking some abuse in the media, continued...

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,...

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,...

Has Jeter Hitting Leading Off Made a Difference?
Ken Singleton told me tonight (through the television) that there were two key things that helped shape the Yankees this season:
Phil Hughes moved to the bullpen and has been dominating.
Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon flipped places in the order, with Jeter batting leadoff.
Hughes going to the bullpen...

BP via YanksBlog reports that the Yankees would like to bring Johnny Damon back for one more year.
The hope is to keep Austin Jackson is AAA for one more season and make a move for Matt Holliday and/or Jason Bay.
Damon is not going to accept a one year deal. At the very least, the Yankees would have...
