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. He’s just about proven everything in the minor leagues except the ability to stay healthy. He was expected to start last season with the Trenton Thunder with a good chance that [...]
Nick Johnson’s Injury History »
Newsday ran down a list of Nick Johnson ’s injuries that he’s incurred over his career. I’m not going to copy that list word for word exactly, but they should get all the credit for this post. I just think they way they laid it out was poor and the information is just wrong in one instance (they said he was injured in his second [...]
Kei Igawa: Yankees Try To Salvage Their Pitching »
According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, in an effort to salvage even a little bit of the $46 million they invested in him, the Yankees will use Kei Igawa strictly as a left-handed reliever in spring training and could even use him in that spot once the season starts, even if he’s in the minor leagues. The Yankees have to do something with [...]
Save the Yankee Gate 2 Video: Try Not To Cry »
This is a great video that really shows off the Old Yankee Stadium in a dramatic way. It’s really moving and it makes you realize what’s at stake—the Old Stadium is coming down and they’re not planning on saving any of it. I hate to go all cause-head on you, but you should watch this video and give a moment of your time to [...]
New York Yankees Sign RHP Chan Ho Park »
According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com , the Yankees have signed free agent reliever Chan Ho Park who most recently pitched against the Bombes for the Phillies in the World Series to a one-year $1.2 million contract. Incentives could make the deal worth an additional $300,000. Apparently Park made the announcement at 1:00 am eastern time at his [...]

No Caddy, AJ Burnett will Pitch to Posada »
Yesterday our very own Brian Burkhart wrote a great article pointing out how Jorge Posada’s catcher’s ERA is misleading and that he wasn’t necessarily a liability behind the plate. Shortly after Brian wrote that, Yankees manager Joe Girardi addressed the media about Posada and said that he will be catching AJ Burnett this year. [...]
