Impressing with the New York Yankees affiliate before...

A Father and Son Past Time

On this father’s day, I find myself reflecting on the most influential role model in my life and the great past time that he and I shared together.  Like many youths, I had aspirations of playing major league baseball, a train that I rode as far as I could before the harsh realization that I was not going to be the next Gary Carter or Roberto Alomar. My father was there every...

Yankeetorial: Run, everybody. This is the End. The Yankalypse is here, the Ying of Wang is upon us.

History tells us that these things happen to empires. The Mayans disappeared. The Spanish Armada sank. Springsteen put out Devils and Dust. The Yankees, the mightiest dynasty in sports - (after the Chinese Ping-Pong team of the 1970s), have collapsed. This is not a drill. Make your way to the exits. Women and children first. We practiced for this, people. We tracked this storm...

The Bloom Is Off Brett Lawrie’s Rose

In 150 at-bats back in 2011, Brett Lawrie captured our attention and imagination. “If he could hit nine homers in such a short time, Lawrie could have 30-homer potential over the course of a full season,” is likely a sentence you read before the 2012 season. It’s probably a sentence I wrote, as a matter of fact. In the season and a half since though, Lawrie has hit just 16...

Is It Time To Buy Adam Lind?

Adam Lind followed up a sublime 2011 campaign with one of the biggest flops of all time. After hitting 26 homers in 2011, he hit only 11 in 2012, and he only scored 28 runs while knocking in a measly 45. Injury clearly had something to do with it, as he only got 353 plate appearances in 2012. Regardless, Lind entered the 2013 fantasy baseball season with an ADP of the 44th first...
