Posted on June 4, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

According to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, the Yankees are not confident that 1B/DH Nick Johnson will return at all this season and that they may look to trade for a replacement.

Jorge Posada's Career Will Never Be The Same Again

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

Yesterday I wrote about the Yankees sending IF/OF Kevin Russo down when Jorge Posada was activated, but that's not what ended up happening. Instead they demoted 1B/DH Juan Miranda and the reason is because Jorge Posada is more of a DH than ever before. See, I knew that Posada was going to come back as a ...

Yankees Notes: Roster Moves, Scranton, and Protests

Posted on May 21, 2010 by Rob Abruzzese

The Yankees are coming off of a rather tough stretch where they went a disappointing 4-8. Now that the Red Sox and Rays are behind them they will start rolling against some weaker competition. I'm not sure if that includes the Mets who have been both up and down this year, mostly down. The two ...

Fools! Johnson Contemplating Surgery, Could Be Out 'Till August

Posted on May 16, 2010 by Dan Reiner

I didn't like it, you didn't like it, but Brian Cashman liked it. When Cashman signed 32-year-old 1B/DH Nick Johnson to a 1-year, 5.5 million dollar deal over the off season, you could sense problems coming. Sure enough, Johnson headed to the DL May 8th due to an inflamed wrist, his tenth trip in his ...

After a 10-3 drubbing of the Red Sox last night, the talk of the town was on the health of the Yankees instead of the fantastic pitching by Phil Hughes.  Coming into this series the Yankees had their share of dings and dents, but after game one the list has gotten longer. In the 5th inning, ...
