MLB: NY Yankees Article and Blog Suggestions »
Earlier today I wrote a post complaining about the lack of any actual news coming from the newspapers . In an era where newspapers are rapidly declining, it’s almost as if they are trying to destroy themselves. But just because the newspapers suck, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of Yankee-related stories out there [...]
Breaking News: Johnny Damon Won’t Play in »
So Johnny Damon won’t be playing in this afternoon’s game against the Yankees because of turf toe. Really? Is this news? I guess it is compared to some other stories that have been out there over the past two days. Unless you think A-Rod’s lawyers meeting with feds is a news story, but I don’t. Of course, there is the Nick [...]
Francisco Cervelli Cleared and Expects To Play Friday »
As you probably know by now, Francisco Cervelli sustained a concussion last week when he was hit in the head with a pitch. It was his second concussion since the Yankees wrapped up the World Series (he also hit his head in winter ball). Cervelli has received good news from all tests involved this time around and was cleared to start light [...]
New York Yankees VP Mark Newman Nailed with a DUI »
According to all papers, Yankees senior vice president Mark Newman was charged with a DUI Monday night in Tampa. Here is a statement released by the Yankees: “The New York Yankees do not condone this kind of behavior,” the statement said. “We take this situation seriously and we are looking into the matter. We will have no [...]
Edwar Ramirez Sent By Yankees to Rangers »
According to Jack Curry and Sam Borden, the Yankees have traded reliever Edwar Ramirez to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. Ramirez was designated for assignment when the club signed right-hander Chan Ho Park last week. Ramirez, 28, posted a 5.73 ERA and a uncharacteristic 1.22 K/BB ration in 22 innings for the Yankees before a demotion [...]
HGH Doctor Did Treat Alex Rodriguez »
According to Rob Gillies of the AP, the doctor under investigation in connection to Alex Rodriguez said he treated, but only prescribed him anti-imflammatories and not HGH. Dr. Anthony Galea also told The Associated Press an assistant who was stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border in Buffalo, N.Y., last year was carrying only a minuscule amount of [...]
MLB: Analyzing the Yankees Lineup »
Let’s take a look at the potential for run scoring in this year’s version of the Yankees lineup. We’ve done this in the past, even a couple of times this offseason, but now that spring has started and we have a better idea of what their lineup will look like let’s do it again. For this lineup projection I’ve used [...]
Jermaine Dye Might Interest Yankees if Nick Johnson Is »
Nick Johnson returned to the Yankees lineup today as the DH and went 0-for-2 with a walk and told reporters after the game that “Things feel fine. No grabbing. No nothing. I loosened up before. Felt nothing.” That’s good news for the Yankees, who no doubt cringed when they heard that he tweaked his back last week. It might not [...]
More Tests Coming for New York Yankee Catcher »
According to George King of the New York Post , after seeing the team doctor yesterday, Yankees backup catcher Francisco Cervelli plans to meet with a neurologist this afternoon. Cervelli is recovering from a concussion he sustained after being hit by a pitch in the head the other day. “I talked to him and he said he felt good,” [...]
With Ian Kennedy, Did the New York Yankees Give Up Too »
The Yankees drafted Ian Kennedy in the first round of the 2006 draft, and by the end of the 2007 season he was not only pitching in the majors, but over three starts he was pitching brilliantly. He pitched so well, in fact, that it earned him a spot in the 2008 rotation coming out of spring training. Kennedy struggled in the big leagues that year [...]
