What Would You Do-ooh-ooh For A Hall-A-Day?
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — I read yesterday on MLBTradeRumors that per Jon Heyman , the Yankees have contacted the Blue Jays about Roy Halladay . Well duh. I could have written that and had a 99.9% chance of being right. This isn' t anything to salivate over or get worked up about. Not yet anyway. The Yankees have to do ...

So, Who's The Better Player?
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — The other day I posted the 2009 stats for 2 players asking the question who would you prefer based on their stats.

Shall We Play A Game?
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — Earlier this past season, I got into a healthy debate about 2 players with a friend of mine. He preferred the Yankees have one and I preferred the Yankees had the other. I'm curious who you would prefer to have if you solely look at their stats. I don't want to give away their identities until ... (more) Shall We Play A Game?
Curtis Granderson In Pinstripes?? Color Me Intrigued
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — It's been reported that the Tigers have made it known that Curtis Granderson is on the market. The Yankees of course have interest. When don't they, right? Bringing Curtis into the fold intrigues me. He's one of the best CFs in the game and can pretty much do it all at the plate. He is one of 4 ... (more) Curtis Granderson In Pinstripes??

Silver Slugging It
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira won the Silver Slugger Award for their respective positions in 2009. It's hard to argue that either one was not the best offensive player at their position. You could probably make a case that Teixeira wasn't the best ... (more) Silver Slugging It
Derek Jeter Is A Bum
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — As a Yankee fan I never thought I'd utter these words: Derek Jeter is a bum. Before you jump all over me, please read on. DJ is playing a bum in Will Ferrell's upcoming movie titled "The Other Guys." I was listening to MLB on XM and they mentioned it on their morning show. I googled it and ...

To Wang Or Not To Wang
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — Joel Sherman, has an interesting blurb about Chien -Ming Wang in his Hardball blog today: But I am getting a strong vibe from Yankee officials that the intention is to non-tender Wang and, perhaps, not even offer him a small base with incentives to return. I am not sure how many of you guys ... (more) To Wang Or Not To Wang
Getting Love For The Glove
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — The 2009 AL Gold Glove winners were announced today and the Yankees, as expected, had 2 winners. Congrats to Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter on picking up the honors. For my money, both were no- brainers . Teixeira was just amazing with the glove. Tex ranked 2 nd in fielding percentage for all AL ... (more) Getting Love For The Glove
The Hot Stove Starts To Simmer
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — The November installment of the GM meetings started yesterday and as expected not much went down. The real fun is at the December GM meetings. So if you're expecting some juicy stuff this week, you're going to be let down. The "big news" yesterday was that both Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui ... (more) The Hot Stove Starts To Simmer
The Season Ends With A Trip Down The Canyon Of Heroes
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — I just got finished watching the 3 hour parade down the Canyon of Heroes on my DVR . I didn't want it to end because I knew when it did that the 2009 season would officially be over. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. What better way to wrap it up then with a parade honoring ... (more) The Season Ends With A Trip Down The Canyon Of Heroes

Down The Stretch They Come
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com — I'm really nervous about tonight's game. Andy is 37 and hasn't pitched on short rest in over 100 starts. But if anyone can figure out a way to battle through the game, it's Andy Pettitte . We shouldn't expect perfection but I'm confident he'll be able to keep the team in the game. That's all ...
