Help is on the way for the Yankees as Teixeira is cleared to swing a bat

Mark Teixeira took a big step in his return to the field yesterday when he swung a bat for the first time since he tore the tendon sheath in his wrist during Spring Training. He actually took swings on Tuesday in a pool underwater, but yesterday was the first day that he was cleared to take ...

Yankees taking it easy with Derek Jeter to avoid another setback
A-Rod allegedly tried to purchase and destroy Biogenesis documents, and notes from the weekend

More news from the Biogenesis scandal and more bad news for Alex Rodriguez. Investigators were told by ex-Biogenesis employees that documents had been put up for sale by people connected to the clinic and that Alex Rodriguez, through an intermediary, had attempted to purchase them in order to destroy them, according to Michael Schmidt of the ...
Missed games in April could help the Yankees down the road, plus notes

Spahn, Sain and pray for rain. The 1948 Braves had two good pitchers, Warren Spahn, and Johnny Sain, who were honored in a poem called "Pray for rain" because, well, that was the only way it was thought they could win. For the second day in a row the Yankees were rained out which hurts because the ...

Ichiro signing might be more evidence of Yankees front office rift, and lots of notes

It was a little curious this offseason when after the Yankees refused to offer anybody a multi-year contract and even turned down a reasonable one-year offer from Russell Martin only to see them sign a 39-year-old Ichiro Suzuki to a two-year deal. Sure, Ichiro finished very strong while he was with the Yankees, but in his ...
Nick Swisher said it “hurt” that the Yankees never made him an offer

Before the offseason started there were rumors that Nick Swisher was looking for Jayson Werth type money (more than $100 million) as a free agent so it made sense that the Yankees, unwilling to overpay, would look elsewhere for an outfielder. Then came another disappointing playoff performance and it was clear that Swish wouldn't be getting ...

Yankees release Clay Rapada, and other notes

The Yankees have granted an unconditional release to lefty reliever Clay Rapada the team announced yesterday. He was DFA'd earlier in the week so he must have cleared waivers and the Yankees didn't think it was worth keeping a pitcher with a shoulder injury around anymore. Rapada is the quintessential lefty matchup reliever. He held lefties to just ...

Some thoughts on CC Sabathia’s velocity, A-Rod, the catchers, and injury updates

Even going back to his days with the Cleveland Indians, CC Sabathia has always an easy choice to tab as the Opening Day starter. He's a leader, a workhorse, and a damn good pitcher. Unfortunately he doesn't do well pitching on Opening Day. Look at these lines from the past few Opening Days: 2013: 5 IP, 8 H, ...
