For many fantasy owners, players of a certain age get crossed off long before their drafts begin.

In fact, the excitement that comes with drafting the hot young stars can hide the productivity of older players who have lost the luster but not the skills.Do not use ...

Spring training wins and losses mean next to nothing, but the New York Yankees have gotten off to a slow start nonetheless with a 3-8 record entering play on Wednesday.Preseason is more about player evaluation than anything else, and the Yankees have players on both ends of the spectrum, with a handful of guys getting off to terrific starts and another group struggling mightily out of the gates.Here is a look at which players are on fire and which are slumping for the Yankees here in the early going this ...
As we edge closer to the halfway mark in spring training, the New York Yankees are already beginning to evolve. Although Derek Jeter hasn’t played in any games and most of New York’s top starters haven’t seen live action, there is a lot to learn from thus far. In only a few weeks the Yankees have begun to form a new identity, without Nick Swisher and Russell Martin. Key positions are still up for grabs and some players are shining brighter than others. Find out what we have learned from ...
The past six months have been rough for the New York Yankees.After Derek Jeter went down in Game 1 of the ALCS last season, the Yankees went on to subsequently get swept by the Detroit Tigers in that same series.

The New York Yankees may not be able to count on their usually deep lineup of monster mashers to propel to the team to regular season success in 2013. That’s why first baseman Mark Teixeira is the make-or-break player in the Bronx Bombers’ 2013 campaign. Teixeira only played in 123 games in 2012, hitting .251 with 24 home runs and 84 RBI. He’s going to have to not only stay healthy in 2013 if the Yankees are to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but he’s ...
