Minors Report for 6/29/10 (Hector Noesi; Adam Warren; Jairo Heredia; Cito Culver; Gary Sanchez)
Scranton: Pawtucket crushed Scranton tonight, 7-1, and there really isn’t very much to report on. Jesus Montero went 1-for-4 on the night. Mark Melancon didn’t make much of a case for himself to be promoted any time soon (0.2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K). Seriously, what the heck is...

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...

Pitching Options

Pitching Options
Now that the biggest fish in the pitching ocean has been signed (John Lackey), it is time for the Yankees to look at their own pitching depth to see if there is a move they should make for their own rotation.     I am of the belief that you should never overreact to what other teams do.  The Yankees...

Looking Ahead: 2010 Starting Pitchers

Looking Ahead: 2010 Starting Pitchers
We hear a lot nowadays about big market teams, middle market teams, little market teams…and of course, the Yankees.     There are a lot of things these franchises have in common; a lot of things they don’t have in common.   But one of the big things they do have in common is this: ...

Peter Abraham from The Journal News checks in on Chien-Ming Wang: Chien-Ming Wang, who had shoulder surgery in July, hopes to travel with the Yankees during the postseason even through he cannot play. “This is a great team. We can win the World Series,” he said. “I want to see that.” In...

Hocus Pocus Reason for Yankees Success

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.

Pettitte Key to Yankees’ Pennant Race

Pettitte Key to Yankees’ Pennant Race
I’ve started Tweeting.  I’m not sure why. I’ve been on Facebook for awhile and, disregarding Mafia Wars, inane quizzes and all the other crap that comes with it, it serves a social purpose. Twitter…  I dunno.  Maybe my love will grow over time.  Just feels skimpy and cheap. ...

Yankees’ Midterm Report Card

Yankees’ Midterm Report Card
The Yankees are 88 games into the season at the All Star break, as good a time as any to break down the good and bad of the season.  We went over this a bit in the podcast last week, but we’ll look a little more in-depth here. On to the grades: Catcher Scott:  It has been a strange year for the...

Wang Needs To Fix Things In The Minors

Wang Needs To Fix Things In The Minors
You don’t need me to tell you that the Yankees have a very thin margin for error this season. The American League East is a monster. There are three teams, Yankees included, that project to win over 90 games. The two teams at the bottom of the East would likely compete for the playoffs in arguably...

Burnett Saves Girardi, Wang, and The Bullpen

Burnett Saves Girardi, Wang, and The Bullpen
Monday’s nightmare outing by Chien-Ming Wang had a big trickle down effect.  It exhausted the bullpen, it got a bunch of humorless killjoys angry at Nick Swisher, and, perhaps most importantly, it exposed Joe Girardi’s refusal to supply the pitching staff with a solid contingency plan. ...

Let’s Bury the “Joba Debate”

Let’s Bury the “Joba Debate”
Justin Sablich over at the NYTimes Bats blog has decided that Joba Chamberlain should be in the bullpen. I don’t like to grab big chunks of other writer’s columns or blogs and pull them apart, but in this case I’m going to have to make an exception. So, let’s get to it. Justin...
