Derek Jeter Right To Be Relaxed about Future in New »
Today over at ESPN.com, sports fans from around the globe were shaken to the core by the headline "Jeter Wants To Remain Yankee." This is the equivalent of going over to CNN.com and seeing "Obama Wants To Remain President," or calling up TMZ.com to find "Madonna Wants To Keep Creeping You Out With Her Scary Arms." So yeah, this is about as [...]

Earlier this week, the Double G Sports "experts" panel released their top 10 rankings of pitchers in New York . C.C. Sabathia got the No. 1 nod, just ahead of Johan Santana in a tight race. But who is the best position player currently on a New York baseball team's roster? Find out below. The six "experts" each provided a top-10 list, and through [...]

Brett Gardner Daily Update No. 16 »
Brett Gardner wandered out onto the main field at the New York Yankees training facility in Tampa. He looked around and paused to take in all the sounds and sights of this Florida day.

A New York Yankee Fan Rewrites the Ending to »
In a great baseball movie that had to warm the hearts of all Boston Red Sox fans, Jimmy Fallon played the role of an insane Boston Red Sox fan whose life revolved around the season tickets he had inherited from his uncle.

In the Wake of Hurricane (Johnny) Damon »
There has been a lot of talk about Johnny Damon this offseason. Nothing seems able to stop it: Not the Yankees replacing him in the lineup with Nick Johnson and signing Randy Winn, leaving no room in the outfield, or even Damon signing a contract with a different team could stop it. When Damon says stuff like this, he becomes [...]
Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin Have Non-Guaranteed »
One of the first things I said when the Yankees signed Chan Ho Park the other night was that his deal would make more sense if the Yankees moved Chad Gaudin. Part of my reasoning was that for the past few weeks, the Yankees have been talking budget. It didn’t make sense to spend $1.2 million, even if it was a good deal, on your sixth [...]
A Bad Sign for Christian Garcia »
Christian Garcia is a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher with a mid-90s fastball, one of the best curveball’s in the Yankees system, and a strong changeup.

The Best $2.5 Million George Steinbrenner Ever Refused »
"28 in 2010" is the newfound battle cry of the resurgent Yankee dynasty. However, "27 since 2007" might be a more meaningful one this week. Just 28 months ago, on a Wednesday evening at the team's Legends Field training complex in Tampa, George Steinbrenner gathered his two sons, team president Randy Levine, Brian Cashman, and several others [...]
