Rays-fans are an interesting species within the baseball world.  His hate for the Yankees is so great that he will pay premium prices to see them, then not show up at the “Trop” for the rest of the season. When the Yankees defeat his beloved Rays, its because of the Yankees' huge payroll. When the ...

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Rob Abruzzese
ichiro-suzuki

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 ...

Just for fun, I am going to play out a fantastical scenario on paper since I am a confessed prospect hugger. As of right now, in 2016 there will only be three players left on the roster that are not former Yankees farm hands. Those three are Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, and CC Sabathia. If Hal ...

No big news today so we'll start with Derek Jeter. Yesterday I mentioned that he could start the season on the DL and that looks even more likely today. Jeter is done playing in Grape Fruit League games and if he does play again before the season starts it'll be with one of the minor league ...

With the injuries piling up, Yankees GM Brian Cashman decided he would try to get a little creative to fill some spots so he called some retired players to gauge their interest. Chipper Jones and Scott Rolen quickly rejected any idea that they might come out of retirement, but Derrek Lee was at least considering it. Lee is ...

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 still consider David Phelps a future starter

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

David Phelps filled many jobs for the Yankees this year -- he was a starter, a long reliever, and at times a short reliever too, but despite his ability to wear many hats they still see him as a starter going forward. “I don’t pencil him in anywhere right now, but I think he’s best as ...

In the name of rookie hazing, the Yankees dressed their rookies up as characters from Star Wars. New trainer Mark Littlefield as Chewbacca, Adam Warren as Han Solo, David Phelps as Princess Leia, Melky Mesa as Darth Vader, Cody Eppley as Luke Skywalker, and Kenji Nimura (Hiroki Kuroda's interpretor on his knees) as Yoda.

The Yankees shuffle their rotation

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Not exactly sure why, it could be getting ready for Andy Pettitte, the playoffs, or just to skip Freddy Garcia, but the Yankees have decided to take advantage of Thursday's off-day and have shuffled the rotation a bit. Garcia was supposed to pitch today, but instead will be skipped one time through the rotation. Everyone else ...

Does David Phelps fit into the Yankees 2013 rotation?

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Chris Barca

Coming into the 2012 season, most people assumed that the pitching prospect that would make the biggest impact in the Bronx would be one of the Killer B’s.  After all, they were talked up and hyped up like no other.  Maybe some thought D.J. Mitchell or Adam Warren would produce in Pinstripes after solid 2011 ...
