With their 16th round pick in the 2012 First-Year Player draft, the Yankees selected Stefan Lopez, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound, junior out of Southeastern Louisiana University.
Lopez, who just celebrated his 21st birthday on Monday, is coming off an amazing junior year after leading the nation in saves. In 29.1 innigs this season, he posted a 0.61 ERA, 42 strikeouts and just five walks...

With their 30th round pick in the 2012 First-Year Player draft, the Yankees selected Raphael Rhymes, a 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder out of LSU.
This 22-year-old, SEC Player of the Year, led the nation in hitting with a .452/.510/.557 line to go with four home runs. He initially didn’t make the LSU team as a freshman, he went to another school, got better, and transferred back...

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera said the blood clot in his right calf has cleared up and he will have surgery on his injured knee on Tuesday.
Baseball's career saves leader was at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday before New York's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, walking without a limp despite having a torn ACL and damaged meniscus. He says he should be ready to play at the beginning...

With their 31st round pick in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player draft, the Yankees selected Kevin Johnson, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound right handed pitcher from the University of Illinois.
The 21-year-old Johnson was the ace of Illinois staff this season. He had a 3.97 ERA with 43 strikeouts and 27 walks in 88.1 innings.
It sounds like Johnson will be a draft and follow type. Meaning...

Joba Chamberlain could soon pitch in a minor league game for the first time since injuring an ankle during spring training.
The New York Yankees reliever said he is scheduled to throw in a simulated game on Friday. Chamberlain threw a pair of 20-pitch segments Monday during his third batting practice session at the team's minor league complex.
''Especially after today...

There has been random polarization and a trend of parity through the first two months of the 2012 season, especially in both Eastern Divisions. The Orioles have run rough shot on the AL East after two months while the typical bottom-feeders in the NL East have sprinted out of the gate. I still am holding out on their endurance, however.
And low and behold, the frontrunners...

New York Yankees: On Friday, Jon Heyman reported that Rafael Soriano will remain the closer, even after David Robertson returns from his oblique injury in a week or two. I was a little harsh in my assessment of Soriano two weeks ago, as his May K/BB was a solid 3.67, vastly superior to his awful 1.17 ratio in April. Soriano is both throwing more strikes and getting more swinging...

NEW YORK -- Inning by inning, New York Yankees starter Ivan Nova looked less like the pitcher who had been roughed up for most of the season and more like the 16-game winner he was last year. With each new scoreless inning, Nova also made Tampa Bay Rays starter Alex Cobb's own impressive outing look as though it would end in vain, which it did in the Yankees' 4-1 win Wednesday...

NEW YORK -- Only a few innings in, the question for Johan Santana became not how many hits he would give up, but how many home runs. Robinson Cano homered twice, and combined with Nick Swisher and Andruw Jones for three straight homers in the third inning as the New York Yankees thrashed Santana and the New York Mets, 9-1, Friday night at Yankee Stadium. To further humble Santana...

It’s a baseball axiom that “real” pitchers learn to adapt to their diminishing stuff and maintain their excellence through mastery of the craft’s fundamentals. Generally, such hurlers tend to see lower strikeout totals, but that goes along with improved control. Basically, they try to become Greg Maddux.
Andy Pettitte has come out of retirement this season and turned into...

NEW YORK -- David Price outpitched fellow ace CC Sabathia and the Tampa Bay Rays' shuffled lineup produced enough offense to top the New York Yankees, 7-3, Thursday night. The victory helped the Rays avoid a sweep and move back into a first-place tie with the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, a half-game ahead of the Yankees. The loss snapped the Yankees' three-game winning...

The first Subway Series game is tonight.
Tonight the Mets are in the Bronx to open up the first of six Subway Series games this season. To preview the series, I talked to Rob Abruzzese from Bronx Baseball Daily. Overall, with both teams being over .500, there seems to be an added level of excitement heading into this weekend.
Me: The Yankees seem to be heating up lately. Who have...
