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...

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...

Yanks Want Damon One More Year, But To Do What?

Yanks Want Damon One More Year, But To Do What?
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.
