Posted on July 18, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Here is the recap and graph. Here is what the blogoshere was talking about today. • NoMaas.org calls out the Yankees ...

Yankees don’t think Martin needs a DL stint

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

For most of his short Yankee career, Chris Stewart has barely been noticable. He barely played and really only caught for CC Sabathia. Over the past couple of weeks Russell Martin has been dealing with a back problem and suddenly Stewart has played in nine of the Yankees last 13 games. That's practically everyday for ...

Frankie Cervelli should be promoted for the playoffs… now!

Francisco Cervelli wins the game with a walkoff single 5-4

Francisco Cervelli did not respond well to being demoted. He was not shy about being confused and distraught over the whole debacle. His numbers in the early going embodied a player who was lacking confidence. A few weeks later, his family came for a visit, raised his spirits, and he's been hitting over .300 ever ...

Yankees struggles continue with RISP

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Chris Barca

I don’t know about you, but it’s very hard to watch the Yankees right now. In April, I didn’t get too frustrated because, well, it’s April.  But now, we’re a fifth of the way through the season.  We shouldn’t still be waiting for this team to climb out of the offensive funk they started the season ...

Francisco Cervelli who? Stewart finding a role

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It was an unexpected move that brought Chris Stewart to the Yankees. Francisco Cervelli seemed to have locked down the backup catcher role and the man whom was traded way in the Stewart deal, George Kontos, seemed poised to help the Yankees in the bullpen this season. It was a move that shocked Yankees fans. It ...

Riding the Pine: The New York Yankees bench 2012

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Brian Mazo

There’s one glaring omission in the Yankees bench this year: we are missing having that one, big bat looming in the late innings capable of changing a game with one mighty swing. In years past, hitters such as Daryl Strawberry, Jesse Barfield, Chili Davis and Jorge Posada have lay in wait; chomping at the bit ...

Stewart will not be Sabathia’s personal catcher

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Last season it was Francisco Cervelli who caught most of CC Sabathia's start and so far this year Chris Stewart has caught half of them including the last two. Should we expect a similar situation to last year where Cervelli served as a de facto catcher to The Big Man? Not according to what Joe ...

Chris Stewart has 1st big game in Pinstripes

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

When the Yankees traded for Chris Stewart on the final day of spring training it came as a big shock. It also came as a shock that Stewart was actually an former Yankee. See his first stint with the team lasted just one game back in 2008 and wasn't very memorable as he went 0-for-3. This ...

Rumor: The Giants wanted Phelps for Stewart

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The trade for Chris Stewart was confusing and somewhat bothersome because while George Kontos wasn't a great arm, he seemed like a lot to give up for an all glove, no hit catcher like Stewart. However if the Giants had their way, the Yankees would have given up even more. Apparently the Giants initial asking price ...
