The Trade Deadline: Who Should the Yankees Try to Acquire?
With the Cliff Lee sweepstakes over and the Yankees barely missing out on the biggest of big prizes, who should they now target in the next few weeks?
It appears that Lee was the only big prize on their radar; the only player they’d be willing to give up a strong minor league package for. They...

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.
The first roster move will probably involve Andy going...

Minors Report for 7/16/10 (More Jesus Montero; Adam Warren; Austin Romine; Manny Banuelos; Jimmy Paredes 30-30 Club)
Looks like Alan Horne was able to avoid surgery and is once again trying to rehab his way back into the organization. It’s a long shot, but you can’t hope but root for the kid.
Scranton:
To say Jesus Montero is on fire is actually a bit of an understatement.
Montero went 2-for-4 with a double...

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...

Minors Report for 6/30/10 (Austin Rome; Reymond Nunez)
Not too much going on tonight, as Tampa had their double-header postponed and Charleston’s game was also postponed. I do wonder how many rainouts Tampa has this season.
Scranton: Scranton put up a fight by scoring three runs in the 9th inning, but it wasn’t enough as they took a 6-5 loss....

Minors Report for 6/26/10 (Jesus Montero; David Phelps; Zolio Almonte; Melky Mesa; Slade Heathcott; JR Murphy; Cito Culver Milestone)

Quite the marathon in Scranton tonight.
Jesus Montero went 3-for-6 with a solo home run as Scranton outlasted Rochester, 2-1, in a 13-inning affair. It was Montero’s second consecutive three-hit night and his average is now approaching .250 (.249). Eduardo Nunez went 2-for-5 with a...

Minors Report for 6/21/10 (Ivan Nova; Gary Sanchez; Brett Marshall; Manny Banuelos)
A light schedule overall down on the farm as Trenton & Charleston were off while Tampa was postponed; so some of the focus will turn to teams deep down in the farm. So deep down you can barely see the players playing there. Typically speaking, I don’t report too much on these leagues; most...

Minors Report for 6/20/10 (Brandon Laird; David Phelps)
Tampa had the day off. Scranton:
One of those days where there isn’t too much to report on in Scranton.
Jesus Montero went 0-for-4 as Scranton was able to pound out eight hits…but only one run. That run came off of the bat of Reegie Corona (23, IF), who hit a solo home run. Corona is...

Did the Yankees Screw Up Joba?
Steven Goldman of BP places the cause of Joba’s demotion squarely at the feet of the Yankees:
In naming Phil Hughes their fifth starter and sending Joba Chamberlain off to an unspecified role in the bullpen, the Yankees tacitly acknowledged that in their frantic efforts to protect Chamberlain’s...

I’m proud to announce that this is the one millionth post on the internet about Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes! In honor of this occasion, we’re having ribs.
But seriously… I do some driving throughout the day. Not a lot. I’m not a salesman or taxi driver. But I spend...

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. ...
