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...

Yanks Keeping LF Warm For Crawford
The Boston Herald reports on the Red Sox two-year pact with Mike Cameron, while mentioning that Yanks have apparently been in touch with Jason Bay:
The Red Sox last night agreed to terms with Cameron on a two-year deal, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. Multiple reports pegged...

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...

World Series Game 5 Thoughts
Random thoughts from my Kitchen Command Center while Chase Utley gives me the Fear:
◊ Not exactly a great start for Cliff Lee, but an even worse start for AJ Burnett. Of course, Burnett gave up four runs to start game five of the ALCS and settled down before the Yankees stormed back, only to lose...

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...

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
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
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...

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

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,...
