Via Yankees Daily  |  August 28, 2009
This year, I say Derek Jeter. 1. Derek Jeter 2. Mark Teixeira 3. Mariano Rivera 4. Phil Hughes 5. Alex Rodriguez Talent Wise. 1. Mariano Rivera 2. Alex Rodriguez 3. Derek Jeter 4. Joba Chamberlain 5.

The New New Joba Chamberlain Rules

Via FanHouse  |  August 28, 2009
by Josh AlperFiled under: Yankees, AL EastAnyone else long for the day when Joba Chamberlain is just another starting pitcher in the major leagues? Whether he turns out to be the second coming of Nolan Ryan, Ryan Vogelsong or something in between, it will be nice to stop all of the discussion about how many innings, pitches and days a week he can pitch before turning into a pumpkin...

Yankee Walkoff Wins From 1961 - 2009 Part 1

Via Replacement Level Yankees  |  August 31, 2009
As anyone who's followed the 2009 Yankees is well aware, they've had a proclivity for walkoff wins, which just means home games that are won in their last AB in the bottom of either the ninth inning or in extra innings. Robinson Cano's three-run home run in the bottom of the tenth on Friday gave the Yankees their twelfth walkoff win in 2009. I was curious about...

Not sure what prompted this — I'd suggest common sense, but that's never been in strong supply in Yankees customer relations. In any case, it looks...

DEREK DOESN'T CARE IF HE SACRIFICES MVP

THE PRESS box second- guessing was immediate. Why was Derek Jeter bunting in the second inning with runners on first and second, no outs and the Yankees leading, 2-0. Jeter's too hot to bunt, right? The great thing about Jeter is that he really...
