What if the Yankees aren’t serious about the $189M budget

What If? There’s been a lot of hubbub about the Yankees shrinking their payroll to around $189,000,000 by 2014. There’s a lot that comes with this decision, such as the future contracts of Derek Jeter, Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, and more. Look, if the front office is serious about this move, and it really ...

What to do with the Yankees DH situation

I wanted to focus on our Designated Hitter situation, both currently and what it might be after Brett Gardner comes back, and figure out if it is really best to trot out Andruw Jones on a regular basis against lefties. I also wanted to focus on how our current DH production matches Jesus Montero’s production ...

AL East Power Rankings

Power rankings this early in the season are a little misleading because only about seven percent of the season has been played. I like to say, “You can’t win the season in April and May but you sure as hell can lose it.” It’s nothing too groundbreaking, but it can help us look at how ...

Forget Retirement, What if Mariano Struggles?

I've decided that I have been spoiled. Not by material goods but by the Yankees. Through numerous accolades and world championships, nothing has been more impressive than seeing one of the greatest pitchers of all time, Mariano Rivera. I don’t think there is anything Mariano Rivera can’t do? Think on it and let me know ...
A look at the Yankees defense in 2012

Defense is a difficult area for statisticians to analyze because there are so many different ways to define value in a player’s defensive abilities.

However, ...

Hiroki Kuroda: the man behind the $10 Million contract

Have you ever heard of a team, let alone the Yankees, sign a player for $10 million and that’s about the only detail you know about the deal or the player? I for one am baffled that 37 year old, Hiroki Kuroda, has gotten less coverage than say, Michael Pineda’s spring training “struggles”. Who is ...
Mark Teixeira could be due for a major comeback

Mark Teixeira has suggested bunting to beat the shift, and I for one, can’t help but laugh at that notion. You have to do what you can to help the team however the Yankees are not paying him millions to become Juan Pierre. There have been many negative reactions to how Tex has performed the past ...
