Hit and Run: Joba, The Philosophy, Thames, and Feds

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Now that the Yankees roster is pretty much set and the season still doesn't start for at least a week it's going to be a long, slow week. Here is some news: Since Joba Chamberlain was pushed out of the Yankees rotation some people, myself included, have said that the "Joba Rules" were for nothing. I ...

Jamie Hoffmann Returned to Dodgers

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Dan Reiner

Thought to be the possible fourth outfielder on the Yankee bench to start the season, Rule 5 draft pick Jamie Hoffmann struggled in Spring Training, to say the least. Hoffmann was returned to the Dodgers today, after being taken as the first overall pick in the Rule 5 Draft in December. Hoffmann hit just .130 (3-22) ...

Posted on March 15, 2010 by Chris Barrows

Welcome to this week's edition of Minor League Monday. First and foremost, my apologies for the lack of a MLM last week. For those who don't know, I'm in the process of planning a wedding and needless to say, sometimes that can cause some crazy weeks. Since the last MLM, some baseball has been played ...

Hit and Run: Yanks Not Mad at A-Rod, Coke Mad at Yanks, Johnson's Back

Posted on March 6, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Here is an update on a story we heard yesterday, but an ex-Yankee might be mad at the team, and an update on Nick Johnson's bad back. Apparently there is no bad blood between the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez over the fact that he's been questioned about a doctor connected to HGH. Team president Randy Levine ...

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The offseason is over and the Yankees roster is pretty much set, but since they signed relief pitcher Chan Ho Park there has been a glut of relievers and something has got to give. Whether it be an injury or two that solves the logjam or even a trade - that has yet to be ...

Hoffmann Not Out Yet, Thames Can Opt Out

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

In an article about the Yankees outfield depth beyond their starters, I made the assumption that Marcus Thames was going to make the team and made it seem like the only way Jamie Hoffmann would stick with the team is if the Yankees worked out a trade with the Dodgers to keep the Rule 5 ...

Ranking the Outfield Depth

Posted on February 26, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees are starting the 2010 season with only two locks in their outfield and a long list of outfielders, many of which will not make the Bronx roster and instead will be in Scranton. The locks are Nick Swisher in right and Curtis Granderson in center, or maybe left. After that is anyone's guess. Brett ...

Gardner eyes starting role in 2010

Posted on February 13, 2010 by Chris Barrows

Brett Gardner stole his way into the hearts of many Yankee fans in 2010. The question remains, however, if he can steal his way into his second straight Opening Day start. In 2010, Brett Gardner will have some competition in recently acquired Marcus Thames and Randy Winn, as well as Rule 5 Draftee Jamie Hoffmann. Currently in ...

Yankees Sign Winn But Might Still Want Baldelli

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, even though the Yankees signed switch-hitting outfielder Randy Winn this afternoon it won't necessarily keep them from acquiring a right-handed outfield bat as a non-roster invitee. That includes free agent Rocco Baldelli. We already knew that they didn't want to offer Baldelli a major league contract, but with two ...
