This week we’ll take a look at a corner outfielder, a corner infielder, and a pair of starting pitchers. All stats are prior to Tuesday night’s games (Only Blanks played on Tuesday night, so only his stats have changed).
Kyle Blanks (26, Right handed hitting corner outfielder/first basemen, San Diego Padres) has never played more than 55...
Kevin Youkilis Begins Extended Spring Training
Kevin Youkilis had three at bats in extended spring training on Tuesday along with numerous other Yankees players from the walking wounded.
Youkilis is expected to swing the bat a few more games before beginning a rehab assignment.
New York does not seem in a rush to push Youkilis, who has battled chronic back problems the last few seasons.

Yankees' Kevin Youkilis progressing in rehab
As the New York Yankees continue to hit and continue to win, reinforcements continue to mend. The team already got back Curtis Granderson, and Mark Teixeira is nearing a return. Yesterday, we got news that Alex Rodriguez was taking ground balls as part of his rehab, and now we know Kevin Youkilis is doing the same.
Bryan Hoch of MLB.com says that the Yankees are encouraged...
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...
Will Middlebrooks Struggles Left Over From Last Season
In the weeks leading up to opening day, Boston was projected for a season of mediocrity in the wake of a 2012 season marred by injury, poor play, and clubhouse disunity.
Amongst the many questions surrounding the Boston club heading into the season included whether newcomer third baseman Will Middlebrooks would build off of his success from last season.
While having a very respectable...
Icebags, dead ahead: The looming Yankee logjam could bring an end to the Hunger Games
Soon, Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis will return from their Jacuzzis and reclaim their Yankee lockers, perhaps bringing to a close the most satisfying month since October 2009. Don't gemmie wrong. To beat the Rangers, Angels and Tigers, we need both guys. Trouble is, without a tweaked gonad, their return will end Lyle Overbay's time as a Yankee. After the last six...

Yankees David Adams.

No doubt, the Yankees could use some relief in the hot corner.
Right now, Jason Nix is the...
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...
Alex Rodriguez back on field: ‘It’s like being 8 years old again’

Busted Batters’ Backs Are Bad
Several high profile hitters have been slowed by back injuries this season. The Yankees’ Kevin Youkilis is on the disabled list with a sprained back for the third time in his career. Shane Victorino missed eight games from late April to early May because of a bad back. Jose Bautista missed about a week of play with back spasms. When back problems occur to hitters, fans should not...
New York Yankees Trade For Chris Nelson
The New York Yankees made a minor move, acquiring infielder Chris Nelson from the Colorado Rockies who had recently been designated for assignment. Colorado will receive either cash or a player to be named later. He is most likely a stop-gap for Kevin Youkilis who just went on the disabled list. Once the Yankees roster is healthy, Nelson can become more of a utility player if they...

The Yankees' seemingly never-ending search for reinforcements continues.
Third baseman Chris Nelson became the team's newest member Wednesday night, arriving from the Rockies in a trade for future considerations.

Yankees: Kevin Youkilis exposed

I knew; the New York Yankees knew; and maybe you did too so why were so many fans shocked by this news?
It was not as if the information wasn’t official or documented in handwritten pencil.
Anyone with access to a computer, along with a slight inquisitiveness could easily obtain the necessary proof that this...

Infielder Corban Joseph has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of veteran Kevin Youkilis who was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 28th. Joseph brings with him a solid, but unspectacular bat.

On being whupped by the worst team in baseball, at home, with your signature ace, on the day your thirdbaseman goes for an MRI, and the cops are waiting outside to arrest everyone for DWI
OK. These days happen. Nothing is perfect. Even the Pope occasionally farts. The hottest supermodel can still get warts. Play 160 games and - even in a championship year - you'll kick away 60. Last night was our Ishtar, our Bay City Rollers, our Clint Hurdle, our Hootie and the Blowfish second album. Those lovable plucky veterans who stunned mighty Toronto over the weekend suddenly...
