Joba throwing from flat ground

Joba Chamberlain‘s rehab appears to be going well following Tommy John Surgery last June. He gave an update on Twitter the other day and said that he is throwing from flat ground with Larry Rothschild and feels great. Recovery from TJS typically takes 12-18 months, but some guys do come back in 11. From all of the updates that Joba has given it certainly sounds like he could...

Yankees Sign Manny Delcarmen to Minor League Contract

Yankees signed RHP Manny Delcarmen to a minor league contract. He also gets a spring training invite. Delcarmen, who turns 30 next month, posted a 5.59 ERA and 33/15 K/BB ratio over 38 2/3 innings last season with the Triple-A affiliates for the Mariners and Rangers. The former Red Sox reliever hasn’t pitched in the [...]

Hiroki Kuroda has a full no trade clause

The Yankees tried to trade for Hiroki Kuroda at the trade deadline last season, but he evoked his no trade clause and stayed in Los Angeles. Now that he’s a Yankee, he doesn’t want to go anywhere else and has gotten another full no trade clause as part of his contract, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. Why would Kuroda reject a deal to the Yankees one month and...

Yankees sign Manny Delcarmen

Delmarmen, who will be 30 in two weeks, has a career 3.97 ERA, a 7.7 K/9, and a 4.2 BB/9 in six seasons and 292.2 innings pitched. He spent last season in Triple-A with the Mariners and Rangers system’...

Mariano Rivera Player Projection No. 76

Key Stats: This is probably the easiest player to write about every year. I could just same what I said last year. Or the year before. Or the year before that. It just doesn’t change with Mariano Rivera. He doesn’t age. He’s had 9 straight seasons with at least 30 saves and since turning 40 he’s saved 77 games. His WHIP has been below 1.13 for 14 straight seasons and since...

Kuroda, Not Pineda, is Poised for Breakout Year

The deal that sent Michael Pineda to the Yankees has made him the talk of the rotation, but the real breakout candidate this year could be free agent Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda is 36, so calling him a breakout candidate probably sounds odd; pitchers that are already past the age of 35 don’t normally improve significantly. He is, however, entering his fifth season in the States...

A Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones DH Split

We probably have been overanalyzing the Yankees DH situation since the Jesus Montero trade, but that’s what we do here, so let’s take another look at it. Reports indicate that Raul Ibanez might be the top target of Brian Cashman. One of the reasons is his ability to still play the field, although I would use the term “play” loosely. The main reason is probably...

2012 Preseason 2B Rankings

Sweet swing, huh T? TOp 30 2B 1.  Robinson Cano, NYY  Cano is coming off of a year in which he was the only 2B to top 100 RBI (118), was #2 overall in runs, and finished 3rd in homers.  He was #1 in OPS and Slugging %.  Put all this together with a .300+ average, and you have your #1 2012 fantasy baseball 2B.  I have seen him ranked lower, but he as durable as it gets, plays...
