Rafael Soriano: What Does It Spell for Joba »

Remember 2007, prior to the midges, when Joba Chamberlain was the golden boy for the Yankees?  Then, things got Biblical. Bugs attacked the Yankees in Cleveland like something out of the movies, and the untouchable kid, suddenly became very human.  After that, the Yankees moved Joba back and forth for, back and forth. 2008 saw Joba start [...]

New York Yankees: What Numbers Are Left? »

With a franchise as storied as the Yankees, it seems like there are few numbers left un-retired, or very soon to be.With Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez, not many desirable numbers will still be left for newcomers to pick. It is a rite of passage for players to shed their #89 that was designated to them in the minors, for a [...]

Andy Pettitte Is Kind-of Retiring: Who Will the »

According to the Daily News, Brian Cashman has said Andy Pettitte will not be playing at the start of the 2011 season.

The big story of the off season is how the Yankees, for the first time in years, didn't get their man or really any man for that matter. Cliff Lee chose elsewhere, they didn't jump for Greinke, no big bats where added. Instead, they made a few gambles by picking up players who are attempting to come back from injuries. The only [...]

Joakim Soria to the New York Yankees? Royals Bullpen »

Royals closer Joakim Soria has recently said to Mexican newspaper Vanguard he would not exercise his no-trade clause if a deal were in place with the Yankees.  It must be noted that he also said he was open to playing on other teams, essentially anywhere.

In 2010, the Yankees led the league in runs (859), RBIs (823) and OBP (.350). They were amongst the leaders in homeruns, OPS, hits.In 2011, expect [...]

New York Yankees: What To Do With Jesus Montero? »

After the Yankees missed on Cliff Lee, there has been a lot of talk about Jesus Montero being used as a major trade chip to haul in another ace. The ONLY way I am in favor of this is if Felix Hernandez somehow is put on the block. If it is not King Felix, I say hold on to him. Montero is the top Yankee prospect, top five in all of baseball, [...]
