Posted on April 22, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Things are going as well as you could ever hope for the Yankees this season. They have won each of their first five series this season, the first time they've done that since 1926, and are sitting in first place with an 11-3 record. They also have their ace, CC Sabathia, on the mound today ...

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Dan Reiner

Spring Training Stock Report: 3/18

Posted on March 18, 2010 by Dan LaTorraca

Moving Up: Phil Hughes. After a slow start, Hughes added to his improving performance by tossing four scoreless innings against the Astros on Tuesday night. Another strong outing could make him the front-runner to land a spot in the rotation, likely sending Joba Chamberlain to the bullpen. Sergio Mitre.

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 2, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The other day I ran a post on 10 problems the Yankees might have this season and some people wondered why I didn't mention the 5th starter battle. Well, because having two great young pitchers battling over the final spot in the rotation isn't a problem, it's a luxury. But it did make me realize that ...

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 ...
