New York Yankees’ Andrew Brackman’s »
The New York Yankees considered themselves fortunate when they drafted the 6’10″ right-handed pitcher Andrew Brackman in the first round of the 2007 draft. He was expected to go much higher, but injury concerns caused him to fall to 30th overall. He immediately had elbow surgery and didn’t pitch until 2009 in Low-A. That [...]
Cliff Lee: Texas Rangers Will Try to Resign Ace »
The New York Yankees have made no secret about how much they like upcoming free agent left-handed pitcher Cliff Lee.

New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox: Is the Rivalry »
There have been some great sports rivalries during the last 100 years. Celtics-Lakers. Ali-Frazier. Agassi-Sampras.

And if you were a baseball fan, you watched. The [...]

MLB: Dustin Moseley Answers Yankees Alarm »
The performance by Dustin Moseley last night against the Boston Red Sox reminded me of test taking.

MLB Power Rankings Week 19: Dog Days of Summer Have »
This was not the most exciting week in baseball. Sure we almost had a no-hitter, but that's an every week occurrence in 2010. Sure A-Rod finally hit 600, but all fans can think about is the impact of steroids on the total. No All-Star voting or trade rumors. No 11 consecutive hits or 17-inning games. The waiver wire deadline has provided little to [...]

It was supposed to be a matchup built for national television. AJ Burnett vs. Josh Beckett, two hard-throwing, old-school pitchers facing off in Yankee Stadium.
