Morgan Ensberg to the Yankees: The Fantasy Impact

Found February 09, 2008 on FantasyFanatics.com:
PLAYERS: Sean Casey,  Morgan Ensberg,  Jason Giambi,  Johnny Damon,  Hideki Matsui
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  New York Yankees

While the Yankees have an explosive lineup, barring an injury to Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, or Hideki Matsui, Ensberg will not see many AB's, so he won't have the chance to reap the benefits of their All-Star packed lineup. Despite this, Ensberg is still a good reserve pick in AL-only leagues, and would also be a nice waiver pick-up if any of those three guys above were to get injured at some point in the season. We'll also examine Sean Casey heading to the Boston Red Sox.

Top 10 Slump Busters

Via The Hungry Actor  |  August 05, 2008
Much to the chagrin of the American Mustache Society, Jason Giambi has shaved off his slump busting stache. That got me to thinking what the best methods to break the bad karma of a slump really are. Some of these are tactics people actually use and some of them simply should be used. Listed from lamest to smoothest. 10. Growing a beard - Completely unoriginal and boring. Anyone...

Leader of the Pack

Via New York Yankees Baseball Blog  |  January 25, 2008
The New York Yankees may have given up two to the Minnesota Twins but they came out fighting Sunday and stole the Twins fire and Jason Giambi got off two homers leading his team to the win. The Twins were looking to sweep us for the first time since 1991 but Giambi was determined not to let it happen...

Barry Bonds a Yankee?

Via MLB Rumors  |  July 18, 2008
Embattled former Giants slugger Barry Bonds has entered into formal contract negotiations with the Yankees, and a consummation of the deal is anticipated forthwith, a confidential clubhouse source told MLBNewsOnline.com. The incentive-laden deal, being hammered out between Bonds' agent Jeff Borris and general manager Brian Cashman, will well exceed the major league $200,000...

Jason Giambi wears a gold thong for good luck

Via Sox Addict  |  May 16, 2008
So.. this is a first for me. I've heard of all sorts of crazy superstitions but to wear a thong, then share it with your teammates, is kind of odd. "Baseball players are legendary for their superstitions, but Jason Giambi's technique for snapping a batting slump may rank among the strangest : He puts on a gold lame, tiger-striped thong. "I only put it on when...

Swisher and Texeira Are Newest Yanks

Via The Sports Agent Blog  |  November 14, 2008
In effort to beef up their defense, the New York Yankees acquired center fielder-first baseman Nick Swisher on Thursday through a trade with the Chicago White Sox. For Swisher, the Yankees traded away infielder Wilson Betemit and minor league pitchers Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez. Also arriving in the Bronx with Swisher is minor league pitcher Kanekoa Texeira. In the '08...

Dumb Things People Say: "Johnny Damon Should Bat 9th"

Via Simon On Sports  |  March 12, 2009
As you could tell, I'm not very pleased with the whole Max Kellerman is out at 1050 ordeal. Well today he's replacement (hopefully only on a temporary basis) Brandon Tierney said something completely bafoonish. The Yankees should bat Johnny Damon 9th and bat Brett Gardner first. Why? His reasoning was that he doesn't want the bottom three batters to become automatic...

Mitch Maier kind of robs Jason Bay of a home run

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  August 06, 2008
A similar play happened earlier this year when Kevin Youklis hit a ball that Johnny Damon nearly caught. In that game, the ball spun on top of the wall before dropping down. Now last night, the newest Boston Red Sox Jason Bay hit a shot that the Royals Mitch Maier almost caught. Instead it rolled along the top of the wall before Russ Gload grabbed it and threw it in. What are the chances? VIDEO

Stanford's Reach Into Baseball

Yesterday, Jason Wulterkens looked at how IMG might have been deeply connected to the Stanford Financial Scandal. But IMG and its clients might come away from this potential scandal unscathed. A few Boras clients may have tougher obstacles to overcome. Johnny Damon, Xavier Nady, and Mike Pelfrey have had their bank accounts frozen by the federal government as part of the investigation...

Barry Hits 756*

Via Select Site  |  August 08, 2007
Well, Bonds finally broke the record and really, is anyone outside of San Francisco excited about it? Just to clarify one final thing, since a few Bonds supporters have made comments on this site about whether or not we can be sure the charges in "Game of Shadows" are 100 percent true or not. If anything in that book was incorrect, the athletes mentioned in its pages (Bonds...
