Yankees options without Brett Gardner

Posted on June 15, 2012 by Chris Barca

Another day, another setback in Brett Gardner’s rehab from the elbow strain and bone bruise suffered way back on April 17th while making a sliding catch.  Crazy, considering how insignificant the injury initially looked, at least from the upper deck, where I was watching the game from. On Thursday, the Yankees released a statement acknowledging that ...

BBDP April 14th: Nuding is the new Tebowing

Posted on April 14, 2012 by Greg Corcoran

BBDP MVP: Zachary Nuding Just kidding, but that would be entertaining wouldn't it? Nuding is a lesser known pitcher in High-A Tampa with great stuff. He was originally brought in as a reliever, but his repertoire was so good the coaches felt they had to give him a shot in the rotation. Last year he had ...

Decisions coming soon for Yankees veteran non-roster invitees

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees have a few veteran non-roster invitees in camp this year that are unlikely to make the team out of spring training and could bolt if they find jobs elsewhere. Bill Hall probably had the best shot out of any of them to make the team, but a healthy spring from Eric Chavez and Eduardo ...

Yankees 2011/2012 offseason review

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees went into this offseason without a lot of holes in the roster. The entire lineup was expected to return, except for Jorge Posada who was expected to be replaced by Jesus Montero. Of course Montero got traded. After all, the Yankees had a few free agents, none of them were major though, and most ...
