He is currently leading the majors in hitting with a .376 average and is fourth in the majors in runs batted in with 46 with only Miguel Cabrera, Vladimir [...]
Which New York Yankee Has the Highest Trade Value? »
In the hours following Stephen Strasburg's Brendan-Fraser-in-The-Scout -level debut for the Nationals on Tuesday, my buddy Howie posed this question to me (@danhanzus ) via Twitter: Most trade value: Mauer, Hanley, Pujols or Strasburg? I say #Strasburg easy. I said I thought Mauer may be the most valuable of the group, but the size of the [...]

Yet they are still two games out of first, behind the Rays who own the best record in the Majors heading into tonight, and appear to be the real deal. Now there is no reason for concern right now with the majority of the season yet to be played [...]
New York Yankees Trade Rumors: Yanks Not Interested In »
This morning, I passed along a rumor that the NY Post reported today. According to the Post, the Mariners were scouting Yankee minor leaguers in anticipation of dealing LHP Cliff Lee to the Bronx. I wrote this story reluctantly because the Yankees boast a full five-man rotation. They really don't need another starter. This afternoon, [...]

Phil Hughes The Cy Young Award Winner? »
If you had said before the season started that a New York Yankees pitcher would be having a Cy Young caliber season in June, you would have thought it would be CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, or maybe even Javier Vazquez. You might have even thought it was Mariano Rivera. But on June 9, it’s none of those Yankee pitchers. The pitcher that is having [...]
Yankees Notes: Brett Gardner, Jorge Posada, Cito »
I have to admit that a radio appearance and the debut of Stephen Strasburg took up most of my attention last night, but that didn’t stop the Yankees from beating up on the Orioles. They won 12-7 behind a grand slam from Curtis Granderson and a hard fought performance by Phil Hughes. Here are some notes: Hughes improved to 8-1 with a 2.71 [...]
