New York Yankees' relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain suffered a freak injury at home during the 2011-2012 offseason that caused him to miss more than half of the 2012 season. Chamberlain returned late in the year to post a 1-0 record and a 4.35 ERA in 22 relief appearances. The Yankees used him sparingly as he pitched a total of only 22 innings combining the regular season and postseason.  Chamberlain is now fully healthy.  MLB.com's Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch answered my February 10 tweet to him regarding to Chamberlain's health. Hoch responded, "I last saw him [Chamberlain] around Thanksgiving, but he's already in Tampa, healthy and ready to go." Chamberlain is one of a number of Yankee pitchers recovering from injury at some point during the 2012 season or offseason. The most notable of these pitchers are CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera. With Rivera now resuming his closing duties and last year's fill-in clos...

The Downfall of Alex Rodriguez

Via Taking Bad Schotz  |  February 10, 2013
The Yankees played poorly in the postseason. The whole team, not just one individual. It is actually amazing that the team even beat the Orioles in the Division Series.

Then Eric Chavez played for Rodriguez in the last game...

Yankees not worried they have oldest starting lineup in MLB by two years

Via The Other Paper  |  February 10, 2013
To the surprise of very few, the New York Yankees head into spring training with the oldest average starting lineup in Major League Baseball.  But I don't think anyone thought the gap between first and second place would have such a large discrepancy. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the average age of the Yankees starting lineup they expect to field on Opening Day is 32...

This Salary “Cap” Is Getting Out Of Hand….The New York Yankees Should Absolutely Not Trade Robinson Cano

Via Off The Bench  |  February 10, 2013

StubHub, that cruel website that kept Yankee fans away from the playoffs last October, is still underpricing the team product

Via IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught  |  February 10, 2013
Over the winter, the Yankees bolted from MLB's megadeal with the legalized scalper website called StubHub, advancing some bizarre, twisted, Moonian logic that empty seats at Yankee games came about because secondary market sellers weren't gouging enough money for tickets. I personally think the Yankees' rationale stemmed from something Charo once said on the Merv Griffin...
