Happy New Year Yankee fans! It's a new year, which means a new baseball season is right around the corner. Are you looking forward to the 2012 season? I have to admit that I'm a little leery about it. I have been thinking about this Yankee team and I feel that, in order for them to be successful this year, certain things have to fall into place. I don't know how many Yankees make new year's resolutions but, whether they do or not, here are 10 resolutions 10 Yankees should be make right now (in no particular order):1. Mark Teixeira. Tex needs to resolve to hit more balls to left field while batting left-handed. All he did during the entire 2011 season was hit into the opposing infield's shift. He did it over and over again. Sounds like the definition of insanity to me.2. Alex Rodriguez. The 2011 season was a lost season for A-Rod. His 2012 resolution has to be to return to his 2010 form or, his form from any other successful year he has had. Perhaps those Germa...

The Yankees announced that they could not reach an agreement with Japanese infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima after they won the posting for him last month with a $2 million bid.
They get their $2 million posting fee back and Nakajima heads back to Japan. He’ll probably try to join the MLB next year when he has enough service time to be a full fledged free agent and can sign with...

When an actor in Hollywood takes on an iconic role, the biggest concern for that actor is the possibility of becoming typecast, in other words so identified with that role and character that audiences, and more importantly movie producers, lose the ability to see the actor as any other character.

Yankees Sign Three Players to Minor League Deals
According to the Times Tribune, the Yankees have signed three players to minor league deals.
Six seasons ago, Adam Miller was one of the best prospects in baseball, a can’t-miss 21-year-old who had just dominated in Double-A.

The New York Yankees have announced Thursday that they have failed to come to terms with Japanese infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima. This coming after the Yankees won the negotiating rights on Nakajima last month with a posting fee of about $2 million.
The 29-year old infielder was not the best match for the Yankees in the first place so this does not come as a shocker to most. He is...
