Velarde: Nix has been invaluable to the Yankees

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

When the Yankees signed Jayson Nix it seemed like a move destined to provide them with little more than minor league depth. By now though most Yankees fans have realized he has provided much more than that - versatility defensively around the field and even a solid bat against lefties. It turns out that former Yankee ...

Yankees don’t consider Nunez as an A-Rod replacement

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

When it became obvious that Alex Rodriguez would be headed to the DL for up to two months with a broken hand it seemed like Eduardo Nunez would be back in the Bronx shortly. After all,  Nunez would be the perfect platoon compliment for Eric Chavez at third base. While Chavez has had a good year overall, ...

Yankees need Eric Chavez to stay healthy

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Curtis Clark

Felix Hernandez was “effectively wild” on Tuesday night. If he didn’t throw a pitch that didn’t hit or come near a batter, I didn’t see it. The term effectively wild is a good one because he still threw 7.1 innings and gave up two runs. He struck out four and got the win on a ...

Yankees send Nunez to minors, activate Chavez from DL

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

This morning I wrote that the Yankees needed to do something with infielder Eduardo Nunez, who has been experiencing big problems defensively, but I didn't think it would happen this quickly. The Yankees have demoted Nunez to Triple-A Friday afternoon and activated Eric Chavez, who was on the 7-day DL with a concussion, in his place, ...

Via Sweeney Murti of WFAN, Jayson Nix has been called up by the Yankees to replace Eric Chavez. The corresponding move will likely be to place Chavez on the DL for his whiplash/concussion injury. Nix has played every position except first and catcher. He only has one option, and he's no whiz with the bat, but ...

A recap of how the Yankees finalized their roster

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Things looked pretty set for the Yankees last week, but then Michael Pineda and Cesar Cabral got hurt and things changed a little bit. There were two spots open and a few people vying for them. Dewayne Wise and Jayson Nix were taken out of the picture pretty quickly, cleared waivers, and were sent to Triple-A. The ...

Wise and Nix pass waivers and assigned to AAA

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Outfielder Dewayne Wise and infielder Jayson Nix could have opted out of their deals had a team been willing to put them on their active roster, but that didn't happen as Jack Curry of the YES Network reported that the two veterans have passed through waivers and will be assigned to Triple-A instead. Both players were ...

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 ...
