Andrew Brackman: Next Yankees Closer?
December 25, 2010 by craig.williams
Filed under Uncategorized
For the record, when it comes to a starter vs. reliever debate, I am almost always going to be in the starter camp. Each situation is unique but, generally, I believe a solid starter is more valuable than a solid reliever. With that said, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of Andrew Brackman taking over [...]
New York Yankees Prospect Buzz

There is never a bad time to discuss prospects (unless you’re discussing a talented package of players being traded for Zack Greinke). With the Justin Upton rumors, Zack Greinke hitting the block and the Cliff Lee non-signing, there has been a lot of discussion regarding who the Yankees should and should not trade. Let’s shift [...]

The New York Yankees still haven’t signed any of the big names we’ve been anticipating, but they have made several small moves with the hope of adding to the bullpen. None of the following additions deserves his own post but each one will get a bullet instead. Neal Cotts, LHP – he’s missed substantial amounts [...]

The New York Yankees stirred the pot on top of the Hot Stove a little bit today. It’s not the main course (i.e. Justin Upton or Cliff Lee) but they are moves worth mentioning nonetheless. I’ll start with the Juan Miranda trade. The Yankees sent Miranda to the Diamondbacks in exchange for 19 year-old RHP [...]

In a USA Today article, Bob Nightengale listed Justin Upton among several players who have come up in trade discussions. Now, I understand that popular opinion is that nobody on a team is 100% untouchable, but it still puzzles me that the Diamondbacks would give the impression that Upton is available. He did regress in [...]

You can read the entire NY Daily News article here, but I just want to touch on the parts related to the New York Yankees’ search for a pitching coach. I stated in a previous post that I wanted the Yankees to give Leo Mazzone a look. Brian Cashman, however, has said that Mazzone will [...]
New York Yankees: What If Pettitte Retires?
November 15, 2010 by craig.williams
Filed under Uncategorized
As we all know, Andy Pettitte has not made a decision on whether he will be returning in 2011. A lot of us expect him to come back for one more season, but February could very well come and go with Andy Pettitte remaining in Deer Park, Texas. In my last post, I expressed that [...]
