Joba Chamberlain’s Inconsistency Not Tied to »
Joba Chamberlain didn’t have a particularly good night Sunday night. He allowed two hits, a walk, and a run in 1.1 innings. He certainly didn’t implode, but he was far from dominant. His fastball, as far as I could tell, never really got above 93 (assuming the YES gun was somewhat accurate), and control of his breaking pitches seemed [...]
2010 Charleston RiverDogs Roster »
Last week we got a look at both the Scranton Yankees and the Trenton Thunder roster, well moving on down the line we get the 2010 Charleston RiverDogs roster today. It’s not technically official yet, but Robert Pimpsner of Baseball Digest passed along this roster out of the RiverDogs media guide: PITCHERS RHP Griffin Bailey RHP Manuel [...]
Hughes Sharp In Extended Spring »
Yankees fifth starter did not make the trip to Boston for Opening Day. Instead, Hughes stayed behind to get some additional work before his first start of the season on April 15th in New York against the often tough-to-beat Angels. In an extended spring simulated start, Hughes pitched the equivalent of 8 1/3 innings and allowed three hits. He also [...]

Here is the Double-A Trenton Thunder roster via Mike Ashmore: PITCHERS (13): Cory Arbiso, Wilkins Arias, Jeremy Bleich, Noel Castillo, Wilkin De La Rosa, Grant Duff, Christian Garcia, D.J. [...]
Yankees-Red Sox: NY Hitting Unable To Bail Out »
The baseball season is officially under way, but for the Yankees, the opener did not go the way they had hoped. Early on the pitchers did their thing, as the first eight batters of the game were retired. But with two outs in the top of the second that changed, as Jorge Posada hit a Josh Beckett pitch off the Pesky Pole to score the first run of [...]
New York Yankees Set 25-Man Roster »
Over the past couple of days Jorge Posada, Nick Johnson, Francisco Cervelli, Damaso Marte, and Alfredo Aceves have all had to deal with minor injuries that left them in question of making the opening day roster. They must be healthy enough, because the Yankees have set their opening day roster and they are all a part of it. However, whether [...]
Minor Leaguers Chad Moeller and Robby Hammock Sign »
Due to injuries, the Yankees have signed journeyman catcher Chad Moeller and infielder/catcher Robby Hammock to minor league contracts according to Chad Jennings of The Journal News . They are both expected to start the season in Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre. Moeller, who played with the Yankees in 2008, was released by the Baltimore Orioles [...]
Nick Johnson Leaves Game with Knee Injury »
The oft-injured Nick Johnson is reminding the Yankees just how brittle he is this spring training. Johnson has already missed time because a bad back earlier this spring and on Friday he left the game early after fouling a ball off of his right knee. It seems a little too early to tell if he’ll land on the DL or not, but so far it [...]
2010 Scranton Yankees Roster Is About Set »
Just two days until opening day and the Yankees roster is just about set, which means that the Scranton Yankees roster is nearly close to finished as well. Donnie Collins of the Scranton Times-Tribune has a pretty good rundown on what we should expect in the Electric City. I feel like his Scranton roster is filled more than ever with players who [...]
Damaso Marte’s Sore Shoulder and What it Could »
Damaso Marte is experiencing discomfort in his pitching shoulder and has been scratched from today’s scheduled relief appearance according to Chad Jennings of the Journal News. Marte said that it is supposedly not as bad as the shoulder injury he dealt with a year ago in spring training that caused him to have a terrible season—until [...]
