Still wondering why the Yankees traded for Chris Stewart and demoted Francisco Cervelli to the minor leagues - it's because they love Stewart defensively. “Chris Stewart is an exceptional defensive player, right out of the Jose Molina mold,” Brian Cashman told Chad Jennings of the Journal News. “(Francisco) Cervelli is obviously a better hitter than he ...

Former Yankees in Pictures

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

I was checking some new pictures of former Yankees. They look pretty weird so I thought I'd pass them along. Apparently the Yankees were keeping a lot of players from growing facial hair, especially Jason Giambi.
