Why Do the New York Yankees Keep Trusting A.J. »

If a New York Yankees fan is reading this, you might just go on to comment how dumb this is, saying how Burnett will turn things around.  Hold on a second, you can't disagree that he is the most inconsistent pitcher in all of baseball today. I know how it hurts to hear it considering the fact that I'm a Yankees fan, but it's true. With [...]

Phil Hughes Closing in on Inning Limit: Will He Start »

New York Yankees' starter Phil Hughes is closing in on his pitching limit, which seems to be around 200 innings. Hughes, 24, has currently pitched 140 and 2/3 innings this year. At this rate, he would have to miss one start before the start of the playoffs if New York makes it (which they probably will). He is currently 15-5 with an ERA of 3.90, [...]

Lance Berkman Heads To DL, Prospect Eduardo Nunez Gets »

New York Yankees prospect shortstop Eduardo Nunez has been called up to the big leagues after first baseman Lance Berkman was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right ankle. Berkman has wanted to play, but he understands the move as part of the game. Nunez, 23, has been hitting .289 and stole 23 bases in 118 games for the Triple A [...]

NY Yankees Acquire Three Players: Who Will Make »

The New York Yankees acquired three veterans by the July 31st trade deadline. The three players are Austin Kearns, Kerry Wood from the Cleveland Indians, and Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros. Last year, the Yankees acquired Jerry Hairston Jr., and he was a key to their World Series Championship. We all know these three new Yankees can [...]

Alex Rodriguez Might Hit 600 Home Runs, But He »

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is one shy of hitting the 600 home run mark. He can hit 800 by the end of his career, but he won't hit Cooperstown with the rest of baseball's legends...ever. This situation best relates with Mark McGwire, but even he wasn't close to the required number of votes to get in the Hall of Fame. He got 25 [...]

MLB Trade Deadline Countdown: NY Yankees Are Front »

Baseball analyst Ken Rosenthal reported that the world champion New York Yankees are the front runners to acquire pitcher Dan Haren. Haren of the Arizona Diamondbacks has been a consistent pitcher since 2005. Last season, he had an ERA of 3.14 and picked up 14 wins. Note the fact that the D-Backs had a losing season. The Yankees have been looking [...]

MLB Rumors: Cliff Lee to Land With The New York »

The New York Post reported that the New York Yankees are in intense talks with the Seattle Mariners that would send ace pitcher Cliff Lee to the Bronx and prospect catcher Jesus Montero in exchange. Montero is the Yankees prized prospect, ranking No. 4 on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospect list. The players in front of him are Jason Heyward, [...]

Why Cliff Lee Has No Shot at Coming to The Bronx This »

Many Yankees fans have been hoping that Cliff Lee would end up in New York this season via trade with the Seattle Mariners. But it will never happen. The Yankees seem content with the current starting rotation: Javier Vasquez has turned around and A.J. Burnett seems to be coming back to his usual form as well after a miserable [...]

Robinson Cano Hits 100th Home Run As Yankees Sweep »

The New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-5, as they swept them at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have finally closed the gap between the Rays and are in first place in the American League East. To help this cause, catcher Jorge Posada hit a grand slam: in two straight games. Robinson Cano also chipped in, by hitting a solo home run. This was a [...]

New York Yankees Next Back Up Plan »

I previously wrote a scouting report on Eduardo Nunez, a young shortstop with great batting, speed and occasional power. Nunez is currently in the New York Yankees Triple A system, the Scranton Wilkes Barre Yankees.  I, myself, and others think that he will one day soon replace Derek Jeter at short when he retires.  But with the injury [...]
