Gloves Matter Too: Brett Gardner’s Subtle Value To The Yankees.
The Yankees are two games over .500, and hitting home runs, despite the absence of several major stars.

Well, they ...

With the team’s major power sources (Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez) out for the foreseeable future, the Yankees will have to take a different approach to plating runs than they have in recent years. This approach will ...

For the past few years Brian Cashman has done nothing but rave about how much he liked Russell Martin so it was a shock to see the Yankees let him go to Pittsburgh without them making a single offer. It was especially shocking considering how barren the free agent catching market was and the fact that ...

Most important spring stats: AB and IP
Anybody who has read this blog for a long time knows that I hate spring training stats. The reason is because they are unreliable and often give fans the wrong idea. It's part of the reason why I hardly even discuss spring results here on the blog. There are many reasons the stats are unreliable: players simply ...

Yankees manager Joe Girardi met with reporters yesterday and went over quite a few topics. Here is the run down via Chad Jennings of the Journal News: • On the offense: Girardi explains that the Yankees offense will rely on speed more rather than the home runs as they've done in recent years. • On the Brett ...

The Yankees announced earlier today that they have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $2.85 million with outfielder Brett Gardner and have avoided heading to arbitration. Gardner earned $2.8 million last season and because he only played in 16 games last year due to injury MLBTradeRumors projected him to make the same next year. ...
