How will injuries affect these hitting stars?
Take the salary lost to injuries over the last five seasons and you could put in a winning bid for the Dodgers. That's how many big name players have been hurt in recent years and 2011 was no exception.

RotoWire 2012 Yankees Preview
Last season was a bit of an odd year for the Yankees. There were some big positives, such as Curtis Granderson's power surge (he finished second in the majors with 41 homers and easily led the majors in runs scored), the emergence of David Robertson as a dominant setup man, and unexpected sources of stability on the starting staff from Ivan Nova, Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon...

For those of us who have experienced the Toucher and Rich Morning Show on Boston’s 98.5 The Sports Hub, the craziest question Madonna was asked at the Super Bowl on Thursday came as no surprise. I’m sure Madonna has fielded questions that are much more bizarre than the one Rich Shertenlieb threw at her in Indianapolis, but probably not in a sports setting. As only...

Rumor: Eric Chavez still in play
It seems like a perfect fit, the Yankees need somebody to backup Alex Rodriguez at third base and Eric Chavez, who liked his time with them, still needs a job. Despite this there hasn’t been much back and forth between the two sides.
