Posted on May 12, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

In a somewhat surprising move, the Yankees sent infielder Eduardo Nunez back down to the minor leagues on Friday in a move designed to get the struggling defender consistent playing time at his natural position - shortstop.

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 ...

What to do with the Yankees DH situation

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Curtis Clark

I wanted to focus on our Designated Hitter situation, both currently and what it might be after Brett Gardner comes back, and figure out if it is really best to trot out Andruw Jones on a regular basis against lefties.

How Brett Gardner’s injury changes the Yankees roster

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It was a little bit of a surprise to see that the Yankees called up reliever Cody Eppley when Brett Gardner went on the DL with a strained elbow and not another outfielder. Apparently, Yankees manager Joe Girardi thought that they needed a reliever more than an outfielder and is comfortable using a platoon of ...
