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 ...

Yankees were modest winners at the trade deadline

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees don't look too good right now. Last night's win snapped a four-game losing streak, they dropped nine of 12 before that, but thanks to the moves Brian Cashman made at the trade deadline fans should expect that to turn around soon. First of all, fans need to realize that this was a damn good ...

David Phelps: starter, reliever, or trade bait?

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Greg Corcoran
David-Phelps

To say David Phelps came out of nowhere this season would be inaccurate. He has dominated at every level in the minor leagues since being drafted by the Yankees. Many were hoping he would fight for a rotation spot this season before the Michael Pineda trade and Hiroki Kuroda signing materialized in the same night. While Phelps ...

Yankees recall David Phelps

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

After the game ended yesterday the Yankees made a move to recall David Phelps from Triple-A and sent down D.J. Mitchell in his place. Phelps has been on fire lately, striking out 31 batters in his last 21 innings in the minors. He'll serve as the Yankees long man in the pen, but he is stretched ...

Yankees roster plans between now and the All-Star break

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees made an interesting move yesterday when they claimed outfielder Darnell McDonald off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. It didn't make sense at the time considering that he becomes the sixth Yankees outfielder, but George King of the NY Post got to the bottom of it. No, they will not be cutting Dewayne Wise ...

Warren demoted after dud, Phelps to start

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

There wasn't much good to be said about Adam Warren's start Friday night. His best inning was the 1st inning when he escaped without allowing any runs, but stranded two. His 2nd was horrible and he was knocked out in the 3rd. On the other hand, David Phelps, who replaced Warren in the 3rd, gave up ...

Phelp back with the Yankees, Igarashi demoted

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

With Adam Warren starting yesterday and Freddy Garcia starting on Monday, the Yankees needed a long-man for last night's game and decided to recall David Phelps from the minor leagues. It was a good thing they did that too as Warren was hit hard and needed to be pulled during the 3rd inning. Ryota Igarashi was ...

Yankees prefer not to go “outside” to replace CC, Pettitte

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It happened so fast. One minute the Yankees rotation was fine and the next minute CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte are both on the disabled list. If you had predicted that yesterday, I wouldn't have bought it, but yet here it is. CC is expected to miss at least two starts, Pettitte at least two ...

Girardi confirmed after the game that Warren will start and make his Major League debut on Friday in place of Sabathia. Freddy Garcia, who ...

Yankees demote Phelps to Single-A to activate D-Rob

Posted on June 14, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

David Robertson is finally coming back today, but it is at the expense of David Phelps who will be sent to Single-A to be stretched out before returning to the Triple-A rotation, the Yankees announced today. I'm not a big fan of this move, but I can see why they would go in this direction. Freddy Garcia ...
