The Sad Case of Eric Duncan
Most astute baseball fans can list several first-round draft picks that failed to live up to expectations. Their careers could have been derailed by drugs, alcohol or sex addiction. In some cases, their style of play may not have worked at the minor league level. In some cases, they are just mismanaged. One case will ...
When Can The Yankees Draft 5-Year-Old Prodigy Ariel Antigua?
By now, most of you have probably seen the video of younger Ariel Antigua and his extraordinary baseball talent. In case you haven't, I've attached it to the post.

Why Were the Yankees so Quick to Cut Igawa?
The Yankees have cut nine players this spring, effectively sending them to minor league camp: pitchers Andrew Brackman, D.J. Mitchell, Christian Garcia, Kevin Whelan, Wilkins Aria, Kei Igawa, Wilkin De La Rosa, Jeremy Bleich and catchers Daniel Gil and Kyle Higashioka. The majority of those cuts make sense in my head; the minor league camp needed ...
Gaudin Feeling Extra Fatigued
The spring is still early, which makes the news that Chad Gaudin was feeling extra fatigued during his last start all the more disheartening. According to Mark Feinsand, Gaudin was extremely tired before, during and after yesterdays outing against the Tigers: Gaudin, who started against the Tigers, grinded his way through three innings, giving up three ...
Spring Training Stock Report: 3/10
Moving Up: Alfredo Aceves. The right-hander is making a strong case for a spot in the rotation after tossing six hitless innings this spring. If he continues to pitch this well, he could force the Yankees to send either Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain to the Electric City. Jon Weber. The journeyman outfielder is a long ...

According to Daniel Popko of NESN.com, the Yankees are the front-runners to sign Cuban-defector Adeinis Hechavarria. Popko writes that the Yankees are seeking to match the Red Sox addition of fellow Cuban Jose Iglesias. Hechavarria, who has drawn comparisons to Alfonso Soriano, is not a lock to end up in pinstripes, but the organization has ...
Yanks Send Edwar to Texas
According to Jack Curry and Sam Borden, the Yankees have traded reliever Edwar Ramirez to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. Ramirez was designated for assignment when the club signed right-hander Chan Ho Park last week. Ramirez, 28, posted a 5.73 ERA and a uncharacteristic 1.22 K/BB ration in 22 innings for the Yankees before a ...
