Around the Yankee Universe, 04.11.09
I only saw bits and pieces of Friday's 4-1 victory by our New York Yankees over the Kansas City Royals. Couple of quick notes. Just say a prayer that Andy Pettitte's elbow and shoulder hold up. If they do, Friday was an indication that Pettitte could have a very good year. If Brian Bruney could...
Around the Yankee Universe, first win edition
The Yankees won a game! The season is saved. It's a glorious Friday morning! So, now that all is well again, let's look around the Yankees Universe and see what is being written and said. General Manager Brian Cashman has admitted that he wanted Mark Teixeira badly during the off-season, but he...
Relax, Swisher fans
So, Xavier Nady is apparently going to start the season as the New York Yankees' right fielder. That means, of course, that newly-acquired Nick Swisher will be in a reserve role. It also means that the Sabermetricians, who love Swisher's game, are up in arms today. The Sabermetricians'...

Here is a little New York Yankee reading material for a (dare I mention it?) Friday the 13th. Peter Abraham dissects the work Brett Gardner and hitting coach Kevin Long did to re-construct Gardner's swing. Speaking of Gardner, Sweeny Murti has already projected him as the winner of the center...
Around the Yankee Universe, 03.02.09
Another home run Sunday for Brett Gardner? Quick, somebody check his locker for PEDs or his butt for needle marks! I know, I know, that's not really funny. But, two home runs for Gardner in less than a week -- even in Spring Training -- is pretty amazing. Who dared to make an error Sunday to...

In a look at managers on the hot seat in 2009, Jon Heyman of SI.com has this to say about Joe Girardi of the New York Yankees. Girardi's $200 million Yankees team won 87 games despite injuries and underperformance. Yet, it was the first empty October after 12 straight year of postseason play...

The San Francisco Giants and the Yankees: Trade Partners?

Yankees Bought Low on Nick Swisher
Flash back to last offseason. Kenny Williams traded Fautino De Los Santos, Ryan Sweeney, and Gio Gonzalez to Oakland for Nick Swisher – basically killing what was an already-barren farm system. It wasn’t a terrible trade at the time – personally, I didn’t mind the move but...
Yankees get Nick Swisher from the ChiSox
The Yankees have picked up outfielder Nick Swisher from the ChiSox. Apparently, in exchange for minor leaguer Jeffrey Marquez. Marquez is a 24 year old RHP who was a first round pick in 2004, and who BA didn't include in their top 10 this year. He had a rough season in 2008 and doesn't strike...
