In it, he outlines 10 potential Hall of Famers and includes CC Sabathia at number 6 and Mark Teixeira at number 8.

 there or that offer somehow is not genuine is absurd. It's over twice

The Minnesota Twins star was a near-unanimous winner in voting announced Monday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, receiving 27 of 28 first-place votes and 387 points. Yankees teammates Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter were second and third. Mauer topped the AL in batting with a .365 average. He also led in on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

The biggest reason is the lack of heavy interest by the Yankees, such as they did last year going after C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Mark Teixeira, which fueled the market. Throw in that fact that there are very few key that elected for free agency, and it may be a less than stellar class. What will be interesting is seeing how the trade market goes, but that&...

Anthony DiComo of Yankees.com took a look at his chances yesterday, here's some of what he had to say:His job [with the Marlins], guiding a team of young players to a fourth-place finish, was quite different from his job this season, when he was charged with meshing three high-profile free agents into a clubhouse mixed with veterans and youngsters.

They can make the Philadelphia Phillies the ex-world champions. They can do what few, if any people predicted: beat the Phillies in phive.That's how good these Yankees are. They i...

Through his first month as a Yankee Mark Teixeira did what Tino did before him and struggled, hitting .200/.367/.371 over his first month. Back in 1996, Tino went through similar struggles, hitting just .244/.327/.389 over his first month in Pinstripes. They both turned things around fairly quickly and had very solid years. Both actu...

Not only does the Bombers first baseman not care, he doesn’t remember.“I could not tell you one play of a Yankees-Angels playoff game,” said Teixeira, who was in the minor leagues in 2002 and with the Rangers in 2005.Tex is also not worried about the Angels' past success against our Yankees:“You could have said the same thing about Bost...

What an emotional roller coaster of a game. So many highs and lows by the offense and the pitching. 1) A.J. Burnett pitching around five BBs and two HBPs to allow just one run over six innings. While this was going on, the Yankees were getting no-hit by Nick Blackburn for the first four innings. 2) Phil Hughes and Mo allowing th...
