He's uglier than Kevin Youkilis now. • Phil Hughes has a bulging disc in his back so it'll probably be two weeks instead of one he misses. • David Price says he would never sign with the Yankees because of their beard policy. • Based on speculation, it appears the Yankees may give up ...

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Thoughts on the 2012 AL Cy Young race

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Justin Verlander lead with a 6.8 WAR, but Felix Hernandez was right behind him and David Price had a better ERA. Jered Weaver also needs to be considered as he finished with a sub-3.00 ERA and won 20 games.

CC Sabathia Not Close to Cy Young Despite Win Total

Posted on August 19, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

For years the measure of a really good pitcher was how many wins he was able to rack up. Last season though something happened, Zack Greinke of the Royals won the Cy Young award despite only racking up 16 wins. CC Sabathia currently leads the American League with 16 wins and has been the ...
