It's impossible that Andrew Bailey impacts the New York Yankees bullpen beginning this April, and he won't be competing with David Robertson, Shawn Kelley or anyone else for an Opening Day role.
As he continues his recovery from a July 2013 shoulder surgery and is sidelined for at least the next few months, it's plausible he doesn't pitch in pinstripes at all in 2014.
The Yankees signed the hard-throwing reliever to an incentive-laden minor league contract on Saturday, according to MLB.com's Adam Berry. The one-year deal is for $2.5 million if he makes ...

Derek Jeter has been perched near the top of the New York Yankees batting order for 18 years. At the conclusion of the 2014 season, the Yankees will hand over the top-of-the-order reins to the dynamic and unique duo of Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury.
The Yankees made that crystal clear when they afforded over $200 million in long-term contracts to the speedy combination of Gardner and Ellsbury this winter.
In December, the former Red Sox star arrived to man center field and bat in the leadoff position.
Now, according to Jon Heyman ...

For every team, spring training marks the start of a new beginning, as a fresh slate is presented to them. For the teams that struggled in 2013, they look to put last season behind them. For a team such as the Boston Red Sox, who won the World Series, they look to build on their foundation of success.
Then there are the teams who had an average season at best, such as the New York Yankees. Fortunate to have reeled in an abundance of talent in the offseason, New York ...

Maybe the New York Yankees' search for Derek Jeter's successor isn't on just yet. But when Jeter announced his pending retirement on Facebook last week, he surely moved that search higher up on the organization's list of priorities.
We're going to hear all sorts of candidates discussed in the coming months. One who's going to be discussed more heavily than others is Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who, like Jeter, wears No. 2 and boasts an excellent bat for the position.
But rather than wait for that chatter to heat up, I'm going to ...

At this time last season, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter attempted to stay positive regarding his health when he began his spring training workouts. Unfortunately, his optimistic nature was not enough to carry him into the regular season remotely healthy.
Jeter only managed to play 17 games in 2013, compiling some of the worst statistics of his storied 19-year career with the Yankees. With just 63 at-bats, the shortstop managed only 12 hits for a batting average of .190—his lowest since his rookie season in 1995.
This year, it's different for ...
