What to Reid into the Yanks newest addition.
Yesterday the Yankees acquired versatile infielder Reid Brignac from the Colorado Rockies for cash. Yes, the Yankees have an obvious lack on infield depth with Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mark Texiera and Kevin Youkilis currently calling the disabled list their primary position.
Brignac is a career .228 hitter with a .294 OBP. In his six year career, he’s only amassed 769 career...

Girardi is at his best
When Joe Girardi took over the then Florida Marlins in 2006, little was expected of him. The team was young, inexperienced and projected to finish in dead last. Girardi guided them to a 78-84 record, en route to winning Manager of the Year for the National League. After having disagreements with management, as most people seem to have with the Marlins nowadays, Girardi was fired...

2013 AL Manager of the Year
I know it is only May. And I know teams have only played about 30 games each. But in my mind, the AL Manager of the Year award has almost already been won. One man has separated himself from the pack that I do not think anyone else will be able to catch him. His name is Joe Girardi. Photo Credit: (Sipkin/ NY Daily News) The first question you might be asking after you read that...

There was a negative tone all through the winter and into spring training, especially after Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira went down with injuries. Derek Jeter also was set back and is still injured. There were no real expectations from outside sources for the first...

Yankees turn triple play in win over Orioles
On Friday night, the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2, and while Adam Jones' three-run error is going to get all of the headlines, the Yankees had a pretty unique play of their own on the defensive side of the field: they turned a triple play in the top of the eighth when the Orioles had a prime opportunity to rally back.
With men on first and second, Manny...
