For this week’s Yanks Go Yard Round Table, I asked the staff what the expected from Alex Rodriguez and Andy Pettitte should both make it back in September AND were 100%. Here is what they had to say. (more…)

Comparing Breaking Bad Characters To Yankees

If you don’t watch Breaking Bad, you’re doing something wrong (and probably won’t get this post). It is one of the best shows on television and could be the best show of all time. I’ve decided to take my love for it and combine that with my love of the Yankees.

Below are some comparisons of characters from Breaking Bad to Yankee players.

Yankees News: Cashman suggests quiet deadline day despite numerous questions

Chris Carelli — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:30:01 +0000

The MLB non-waiver trade deadline arrives today at 4:00 pm. There are several teams searching for the last piece of their puzzle in an effort to provide a playoff push and there are others trying to unload as much as possible looking forward to the future. The New York Yankees portray a state of contentment, but it is more a product of the perceived costs of the players available than it is that they WANT to remain out of the trade market. (more…)

Is A-Rod’s injury a blessing in disguise? Brian Cashman should call the Padres about Chase Headley

Chris Carelli — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:00:29 +0000

When Alex Rodriguez went down with a broken left hand and the verdict was about eight weeks on the DL, the rumors immediately swirled as to who the Yankees could target in a trade. Rumors certainly become intensified since we are just a few days from July 31st non-waiver trading deadline. (more…)

Yankees Injury News: The Walking Wounded

Chris Carelli — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:01:09 +0000

This has been a rough season for injuries for the New York Yankees. But, they have persevered through each one. The latest player to head to the disabled list is Alex Rodriguez, who suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone in his left hand, after being struck by an 88-mph change-up delivered by Seattle mariners starter Felix Hernandez.

Yankees’ bench allowing luxuries to Cashman, Girardi and starting squad

Chris Carelli — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:00:13 +0000

When the New York Yankees take the field on a given day, they send out a starting squad with a mix of older veterans, seasoned players and “peak” performers. The youngest players on the field on a regular basis are Russell Martin and Robinson Cano, both 29-years-old with Martin being four months Cano’s minor. Of course, the Yankees’ brass knew this going into the season, so their desire when building the bench was to have players who could not only fill in on occasion, but could handle lengthier periods of time on the field if required. The Yankees hoped that if there was a need to play a reserve on a more regular basis, they would not hinder the team’s overall performance. This Yankees’ bench has done that and more in 2012. (more…)
