What We've Learned
— yankeesredsox.com — We've learned the Yankees have added seven players to their 40-man roster while subtracting one.  It's kind of an odd approach. By adding seven guys (Ivan Nova, Reggie Corona, Austin Jackson, Hector Noesi, Kevin Russo, Eduardo Nunez and Romulo Sanchez) they protect those players from the ... (more) What We've Learned

Get Ready To Learn Stuff....
— yankeesredsox.com — It has been 15 days since the Yankees won the World Series, which means free agency is upon us.  In less than an hour every player who filed for free agency is eligible to sign with another team.  It also means that the 40-man rosters suddenly become a bit less crowded.  For the ...

Kottaras Axed
— yankeesredsox.com — The Red Sox released George Kottaras today according to ESPN. With the return of Jason Varitek, Kottaras wasn't deemed necessary to the big league club.  That said, I wonder if we'll see the Red Sox try to re-sign him at some point. At first glance, I don't like this move.  Kottaras ... (more) Kottaras Axed

The 2010 Rotation
— yankeesredsox.com — Heading into the offseason we know who the top-2 pitchers in the Yankees rotation will be, but little beyond that.  Will Andy Pettitte come back?  Probably, but it's not a definite.  Will Joba be in the rotation?  I believe so, but I also think the Yankees won't keep him ...

Failing Grade
— yankeesredsox.com — As the Red Sox try to plug some power into the 2010 line-up, it has become painfully clear that current management has failed at developing and retaining power through the minor leagues.  Take a look at the projected 2010 line-up (I'm not assuming anything with free agent players like Alex ...

Red Sox Rumblings
— yankeesredsox.com — There's been chatter that the Red Sox are looking at John Lackey. He'd be a good addition to be sure, but there also seems to be indication it was just preliminary talks, much like they do with most free agents. Billy Wagner might just remain with the Red Sox. If they offer arbitration, Wagner ... (more) Red Sox Rumblings

Another Name To Consider
— yankeesredsox.com — One of the tougher decisions facing the 2010 Yankees is how to allocate AB's to the DH spot.  If they bring back Damon, they would have four different players (Damon, A-Rod, Jeter and Posada) who could potentially get more than 10 games each at DH.  That's one of the reasons why the ...

Stop It!
— yankeesredsox.com — Where do stories like this one about George Steinbrenner come from?  They come from somebody in the Yankees' organization who wants to create the illusion that George is still a part of the team.  A better question is why does somebody want to create this illusion? It doesn't matter ... (more) Stop It!

How About Plan B?
— yankeesredsox.com — I know it's just posturing, but with Boras trying to get Damon signed until he is 50, the Yankees need to think of some alternatives.  One of the moves that Brian Cashman should get much more credit for last year is the trade of Betemit for Swisher.  Just to recap, Swisher hit 28 ...

Varitek Back for 2010
— yankeesredsox.com — Jason Varitek exercised his player option today and will remain with the Red Sox. Based on Red Sox comments, it appears Varitek has a place in the team's 2010 plans. Said Theo Epstein: We’re happy to have Jason back and we look forward to a good year from him in 2010. He means an awful lot to ... (more) Varitek Back for 2010

Jeter's Not A Bad Choice
— yankeesredsox.com — Derek Jeter won another Gold Glove today and people are howling in protest already about how poor his defense is. But, if you look at RZR ( Revised Zone Rating ) which is basically a measure of the percentage of plays a defender turns in their own defensive zone, Jeter was #1 in the AL.  ...

Which PItcher Do You Pick?
— yankeesredsox.com — Two pitchers to choose from, here are their stats over the last five years Pitcher A: 69-38 3.49ERA 989 IP 837K's 282 BB's Pitcher B: 57-44 3.78ERA 850IP 836K's 308 BB's They are both the same age, so it is pretty close.  Pitcher A has been more durable, but pitcher B has better striekout ...

So Many Options
— yankeesredsox.com — The Red Sox declined the team option on Jason Varitek today meaning he can either exercise his player option, or become a free agent.  It'll be strange to not see Varitek on the opening day roster if it comes to that. Additionally, the Red Sox did exercise their option on Victor Martinez ... (more) So Many Options

Jeremy Hermida and Alex Gonzalez
— yankeesredsox.com — In what appears to be a hedge against the possibility of losing Jason Bay, the Red Sox traded for outfielder, Jeremy Hermida.  Had this move been made 3 seasons ago, I'd have been thrilled, but Hermida hasn't lived up to his hype and now this move looks like a low-risk move for a ...

"We Have To Get Younger"
— yankeesredsox.com — That's what Brian Cashman said on the radio the other day in discussing his plans for next year and he is absolutely right.  There are some obvious moves to achieve this and some tough ones.  In our 2010 planning, let's start with the Yankees who will become free agents and what they ...

Time To Stare Out The Window

I stare out the window and wait for spring." --Rogers Hornsby My Game 6 companion sent me that quote today and it really captures the next three months for me.  The 2009 baseball season is ...

Ugh
— yankeesredsox.com — I really didn't enjoy all the Steinbrenner tributes last night because the George of today is not the George I remember. The guy I remember was a bombastic bully who ranted like a lunatic and treated people like cockroaches.  Yes, George was always willing to spend, but his behavior ... (more) Ugh

Parade Time!
— yankeesredsox.com — There is something really special about a parade through The Canyon of Heroes.  If you have never seen one, I encourage you to try and attend tomorrow (or watch on YES)  For me it's the history of the parade route.  Lindbergh, Einstein, JFK, all of them paraded up Broadway.  ...

— yankeesredsox.com — It's 2:45am and I have finally made it back to my house. I am exhausted, and I don't know if I will be able to speak tomorrow because my throat is so sore, but I have never felt better.  First a note, I couldn't tweet from the park because there was some sort of bandwith meltdown tonight. ...
