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 ...

Eduardo Nunez keeps making costly errors

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It started in the very first inning on the second game of the season and it really hasn't slowed down at all - Eduardo Nunez keeps making costly errors. Last night it was a throwing error from second base that opened the flood gates for a four run inning as Phil Hughes wasn't good enough to ...

The Yankees announced after their 6-5 loss to the Twins Wednesday night that they have put outfielder Brett Gardner on the 15-day DL with a strained left elbow, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com. “We will have to sit him down for a while,” Joe Girardi told Marchand. “We’ll try to get him back after 15 ...

A look at Yankees infielder Eduardo Nunez

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Michael Augustine

Of all the high-priced talent and personalities who may or may not live up to their reputations on the 2012 Yankees, one player in particular seems to incessantly enrage the fan base.  Any moment he takes the field, the fans see him as an accident waiting to happen.  Debuting with the Yanks in 2010, Eduardo ...

Defensive shortcomings hurt Yankees rotating DH plan

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Chris Barca

I strongly disliked the Jesus Montero-Michael Pineda for many reasons.  Pineda’s weak second half in 2011 scared me.  Shipping away a 22-year-old hitter who was tailor made for Yankee Stadium angered me.  Trading a near sure-thing for a question mark with potential made me feel that Brian Cashman’s legacy now depends on the success or ...

Yankees scoring runs without the long ball

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

A big criticism of the Yankees last season, especially early on, was that their offense relied too much on the home run. The truth is that it doesn't matter how teams score their runs, but early on this season they are showing that they are quite capable of scoring without a ton of homers. “I like ...

Nunez: I have to prove I can play defense

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It wasn't always fun watching Eduardo Nunez play defense last season and this year he wasted no time reminding us why. After he muffed a play during his first inning of work against the Rays, he continued his poor defense against the Orioles as he miss played a ball that was ruled a single and ...

Jeter and A-Rod’s transition to DH has begun

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

We've been discussing it for years but it is finally happening. Derek Jeter is slowly beeing weened out of his shortstop position and Alex Rodriguez isn't far behind him. Last night, Yankees manager Joe Girardi started Jeter at DH while allowing Eduardo Nunez to start at short against the lefty and expect that to just keep ...

Quote: 4 outfielders? That’s unpossible

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Four outfielders? Sounds crazy. Not to Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira though. When asked about the Yankees using five infielders against two batters on Opening Day, Tex seemed to like the idea and even suggested that it might not be a bad idea to use four outfielders on occasion. “You really could play it against everybody,” ...

Thoughts on the Yankees roster as we wait for the 1st pitch

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Chris Barca

At around 3:00 pm today, James Shields of the pesky Tampa Bay Rays will deliver the first pitch of the season to New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter, and let me tell you, I couldn’t be more excited to face a guy who threw eleven complete games last year. But before I get into the nitty ...
