Cy of relief: CC happier with ring

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:42:55 +0000

CC Sabathia required two words to describe being a World Series winner rather than copping a second Cy Young award. "Much happier," the Yankees' ace lefty wrote in a text message yesterday after Kansas City's Zach Greinke was named this year's AL ...

Yankees no stranger to hardware

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:51:00 +0000

Winning the World Series may be a team concept, but it's only natural that even on the most cohesive of units, a few outliers stand out. Enter CC Sabathia, Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Joe Girardi, four Yankees with outside shots at taking home some Major League hardware.

Does CC have a Cy shot? It's unlikely

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:56:35 +0000

I'm back in the swing of things following a weekend away with my family, just in time for the bulk of the BBWAA awards to be handed out. Congrats to Oakland's Andrew Bailey and Florida's Chris Coghlan, who took home Rookie of the Year honors on Monday. I don't get all that excited for the Rookie of the Year award. There's generally not much competition and many winners wind up returning to anonymity within a couple years. For every Derek Jeter, there's an Angel Berroa. Up next? The American League Cy Young award, which figures to be a two-man race between Zack Greinke and Felix Herandez. Here's the complete schedule for the upcoming awards: Tuesday, Nov. 17: AL Cy Young Wednesday, Nov. 18: Manager of the Year Thursday, Nov. 19: NL Cy Young Monday, Nov. 23: AL MVP Tuesday, Nov. 24: NL MVP CC Sabathia may have tied for the league-lead with 19 wins, and his numbers (19-8, 3.37 ERA) are remarkably similar to his Cy numbers from 2007 (19-7, 3.21 ERA), but the guys he was battling two ...

CC not the favorite to win Cy Young

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:45:00 +0000

CC Sabathia has always said that a World Series ring means more to him than the Cy Young Award. That's a good thing, because the Yankees' ace is unlikely to add another Cy Young to his mantel on Tuesday.

The Yankees Potential OffSeason Shopping List for 2010

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:33:49 +0000

Christmas shopping for all of us is about 30 days away. For the Yankees and General Manager Brian Cashman, he may be starting his shopping in six days. Friday, November 20 will mark the beginning of Major League Baseball's free agency period for all teams and all players. So far, the 30 teams have six more days to re-negotiate with their players before they hit the open market for good. Last year, the Yankees spent $161 million to get CC Sabathia, $82.5 to get A.J. Burnett, $180 million to get Mark Teixeira, and traded for Nick Swisher. All the moves in the off-season were tremendous moves made by Cashman and helped bring the Yankees their 27th World Series Championship in 2009. Now, with Friday looming, what does Santa Cashman have in store for Yankee Universe in 2010? Who is on his wish list, or maybe even, his shopping list? Begin Slideshow

Yankees' Andy Pettitte: An Outstanding Third Starter

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:58:23 +0000

Andy Pettitte is not the best pitcher on the Yankees' staff. But he was the winningest Yankee pitcher in the postseason. And that's BECAUSE he was their number three starter. CC Sabathia is clearly the front runner. But between AJ Burnett, who has a slightly lower ERA, and Pettitte, who has a marginally lower FIP (sabermetric ERA), it's not clear who's really second or third. FanGraphs valued Pettitte worth $1 million more than Burnett in 2009, meaning that he is a "very qualified" Number 3. Sabathia had to pitch against top-of-the-rotation Cliff Lee of the Philadelphia Phillies, John Lackey of the Los Angeles Angels, and Brian Duensing of the Minnesota Twins in the first game of each series. Burnett's initial opponents were Philadelphia's Pedro Martinez, Los Angeles' Joe Saunders, and Minnesota's Nick Blackburn. On the other hand, Pettitte faced Cole Hamels of the Phillies', Jered Weaver of the Angels and former Yankee Carl Pavano, the weakest of the Twins' pitchers in his first games of ...

It's Tribe Time, Sort of: Former Indians Make Postseason Impact

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:56:15 +0000

It was another disappointing October in Cleveland, as it has been each year since 1948. It is perhaps a blessing that the Indians did not make it far enough to collapse on the big stage, as they routinely did throughout the '90s and again in 2007. However, while the team as a whole did not reach the postseason, many Indians alumni got to experience the playoffs. Here's a look at the former hometown heroes who got a shot at glory.

Pitching For The Milwaukee Brewers in 2010: John Lackey

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:51:35 +0000

Much in the same fashion that CC Sabathia was the top pitching prize last winter, John Lackey will find himself in that position this winter. Lackey may find more suitors than Sabathia did, but he won't command nearly the same contract the big lefty did. No fewer than eight teams have been linked as possible destinations for the Angels' ace. The Angels, Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, Rangers, Brewers, Orioles, and Astros have all been reported as having interest. Also, reports range in him getting anywhere from a three to six year contract with dollar amounts varying from $36-100 million. Not only will the contracts vary on Lackey, but the role he serves will depend on which team he decides to pitch for. The Yankees, Mets, and Astros already have established top-of-the-rotation pitchers. He would serve as a solid number two or lower pitcher for these teams. The Dodgers could use him as an ace or mid-rotation pitcher depending on what they decide to do with Chad Billingsley. His acquisition would ...

How the Newest Yankees of 2009 Contributed to a Championship Run

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 08:19:37 +0000

When the Yankees finished 89-73 and in third place of the American League East division, it found them out of the playoffs for the first time since 1993. It was a tough thing to swallow for the Yankee fans, players and management. Which is why general manager Brian Cashman vowed changes. Changes for the better. In November, the Yankees got cracking on how to fix their roster for the better. Nick Swisher: Acquired from the Chicago White Sox for Wilson Betemit and two minor leaguers on Nov. 13, 2008 This may go down as one of the greatest steals in Yankee trading history. All the Yankees gave up was utilityman Wilson Betemit and two minor leaguers in exchange for Swisher. At the time, Swisher was possibly going to play first base and right field while splitting time with Xavier Nady. A month later, the Yankees got their every day first basemen, so Swisher's duties for 2009 were moved to being the fourth outfielder. But because Nady went down with a season-ending elbow injury, Swisher ...
