This from Chad Jennings over at the Lohud:

Joe Girardi just announced that Freddy Guzman has been added to the roster in place of Eric Hinske.

A.J. Burnett is starting Game 2. Andy Pettitte in Game 3. Game 4 is TBA.

He also has this:

Chad Gaudin threw 50 pitches on Tuesday and said he’s been told to be ready to pitch on Friday. Not as a starter, but as a guy who could give the Yankees innings in the case of a rain delay or some other circumstance that limits the starter. I suppose he could start so that C.C. Sabathia isn’t burned out in the event of an early inning rain delay, but that would be one of those contingency plans that Eiland wouldn’t reveal. As for innings limits on a spot starter or fourth starter, should the Yankees decide to use one, Eiland said that’s not a significant concern.

“They’re not that far removed,” Eiland said. “Their pitch counts haven’t gone down enough to make it that big of a concern. Are they going to be able to go 120 pitches? No. But they have enough to get through the middle of the game.”

The Speed Game

Via River Ave. Blues, The Yankees bring Freddy Guzman onto the roster for the ALCS to replace Eric Hinske. Guzman did a horrible job of getting on base for all five teams that used him this season. Hinske at least has something to offer offensively: If you don’t feel like listening to the Girardi [...]

Yankees to add Guzman for ALCS

The New York Yankees don't have to finalize their roster for the American League Championship Series against the Angels until Friday, but manager Joe Girardi said Thursday the club will add speedster Freddy Guzman in place of Eric Hinske.

Who's Got the Secret Sauce?

A while back the geniuses at Baseball Prospectus figured out that the three keys to postseason success are having three or four strikeout starters, a strong back end of the bullpen, and a good defense (buy their book Baseball Between the Numbers if you haven't!). Even if you're not a stat guy, just about any baseball insider will agree that, "Pitching and Defense Wins...

Will The Weather Hurt The Yankees?

As of right now, which is 8:09 eastern time, there is a 90% chance of rain on Friday, the day of Game 1. It has already been said that Game 1 will be played Saturday, and Game 2 Sunday, then Game 3 in LA on Monday, if there is a rainout. This would put the schedule at:Saturday the 17th: Sabathia vs LackeySunday the 18th: Burnett vs SaundersMonday the 19th: Pettitte vs WeaverTuesday...

Listen: Championship Series Preview, Yanks, Mets Hot Stove

Howard Megdal joined me tonight to chat about the playoffs, Yanks/Angels, and even a little Mets hot stove talk. We discussed why so many closers are having trouble this postseason, reviewed a Philadelphia/Los Angeles matchup, and analyzed the Yanks/Angels. Hear us talk about CC Sabathia on 3 days rest, Chad Gaudin getting a Game 4 start, [...]

No cooling off A-Rod

Andy Pettitte was talking about CC Sabathia, gushing how in the season's second half, he doesn't think the ace lefty slogged through even one rough outing. Similarly -- and perhaps surprisingly -- Alex Rodriguez hasn't had a single poor postseas...

Yankees thinking about three-man rotation

CC Sabathia is scheduled to start Friday night's opener, with A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte as New York's other two primary starters.

Yanks may go with 3-man rotation vs. Angels

The Yankees may go with a three-man rotation against the Los Angeles Angels in the AL championship series. Manager Joe Girardi says the shortened rotation would allow him to keep Joba Chamberlain and Chad Gaudin in the bullpen. Such a plan would have CC Sabathia starting Game 4 on three days' rest. Sabathia is used to short rest from his time with the Milwaukee Brewers...

If the Yankees don’t win it this year when will they?

If you look at this Yankees’ team, they will almost be the same team next year with the exception of Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui or Andy Pettitte and you can even say they might be worse without those three. Who would they get? Jason Bay? Holliday? Who’s available in the pitching free agent market? They’ll have [...]
