<a href="http://bronxpinstripes.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2Jyb254cGluc3RyaXBlcy5jb20vbWlub3ItbGVhZ3Vlcy9wZW5hLWVuLXJvdXRlLXRvLXNlYXR0bGUvYXR0YWNobWVudC9wZW5hLTIv" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9791\">Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported a few minutes ago that Ramiro Pena is hopping on a plane and is en route to Seattle for today’s 3:40 PM EST start to replace the injured Alex Rodriguez on the Yankees roster. According to Sherman, the team had to get a body out to the west coast as quickly as possible, and Pena’s versatility will allow him to help not only in the infield, but also the outfield, where Nick Swisher is still out with a hip injury.

In 80 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, Pena is hitting .249 with a home run and 22 RBI. The light-hitting shortstop has a .302 on-base percentage. Pena has heated up of late, as he is 13-for-39 over his last ten games.

Nothing definite, but it is my guess that the Yankees will reassess their third base situation when they return home for a three game set with the Boston Red Sox on Friday. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see either Brandon Laird, who has caught fire of late, or Russell Branyan, who has been unstoppable with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, in pinstripes by the weekend.

Ichiro Made Concessions To Join Yankees

Via Sliding Into Home  |  July 24, 2012
From Wallace Matthews:Ichiro Suzuki apparently wanted the New York Yankees even more than the Yankees wanted him. Before completing a trade to acquire the Japanese star, the Yankees spelled out a list of conditions to Ichiro, a former American League MVP and two-time batting champion. Ichiro would be asked to switch positions, hit at the bottom of the lineup and possibly...

At some point, Ichiro Suzuki will hit a home run for the Yankees. Odds are, he won't hit two. But let's face it, a little wind, a little momentum from a Yankee Stadium crowd, the right pitch... and Ichiro will smack one. That gives the legendary radio voice of the New York Yankees one shot at permanently Sterlingizing the future Hall of Famer. One call. The opportunity...

Ichiro Suzuki, Anibal Sanchez Trades Have Yankees, Tigers Rendering American League Wild Card Race Pointless

Via NESN.com  |  July 24, 2012
When spring began, and MLB fans and predictors were making their choices for who would rule the year, the Yankees and Tigers were foregone conclusions. New York would get some kind of playoff spot out of the American League East, and Detroit would win the American League Central running away. But the first few months of the season seemed to prove common sense wrong. The Tigers started...

Ichiro Suzuki: Professional Hitter

Via StraitPinkie.com  |  July 24, 2012
Ichiro Suzuki has done one thing better than anyone since entering the majors in 2001, hit. He joined the Mariners after a very good professional career in Japan. He was 27 and in the prime of his career. His first season saw him lead the Mariners to 116 wins (tied for most regular season wins). He was the first Japanese player to become an everyday player in the bigs and experts...

Ichiro says he is looking forward to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry

The rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees is arguably the most heated and historic in all of sports. When thinking about it, images of Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez brawling or Pedro Martinez tossing Don Zimmer probably race through your head. Is it possible to fit Ichiro into the equation? The former Mariners outfielder says he is looking forward to it. “When I watched those...

SEATTLE -- For the first time in a dozen years, Ichiro Suzuki walked into Safeco Field without walking into the home clubhouse.

Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees third baseman who has known Ichiro for over a decade...

Ichiro Suzuki, a Yankee

As a long time Seattle Mariners fan and a person with distaste for the New York Yankees, I can sum up last night’s trade in two words.  It stinks.  The face of the franchise, Ichiro Suzuki, and cash was sent to the New York Yankees for two prospects.  I know that Ichiro is nearing the end of his career, and it became unclear if he was going to continue with the Mariners, since...

Potential Options to Fill In For Injured Alex Rodriguez

Via Double G Sports  |  July 25, 2012
  Alex Rodriguez suffered a broken hand after being hit by a pitch from Seattle's Felix Hernandez. The injury bug continues to hit the New York Yankees, and hard. Not many teams would be able to handle losing names like, Mariano Rivera, Joba Chamberlain, Andy Pettitte, and now Alex Rodriguez. So far however, the Yankees have been able to do just that and remain comfortably in...

Ichiro to the Bronx

Only in American baseball can a guy walk across the other side of the field and into the dugout that belonged to opponents moments earlier and call it home. It was a strange scene that the baseball world didn’t have a lot of time to prepare for. I never pictured Ichiro Suzuki in anything other than a Mariners uniform. And if it was going to happen it would be okay; we would all...
