http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/667 Recent articles about Chien-Ming Wang en-us ESPN.com is reporting that the Yankees may be considering non-tendering Chien Ming Wang. Non-tendering is simply when you opt to not offer a contract to an arbitration eligible player. This leads me into my next point: if he wouldn’t be terribly expensive, Wang would be a great fit for the new look Minnesota Twins. When the [...] Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:09:31 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Twins_Should_Grab_The_Wang/1545640 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Twins_Should_Grab_The_Wang/1545640 So I was talking to one of you wonderful blog readers this evening, when one of you repeated a favorite Sterling-ism: "Well, Suzyn, you just can't predict baseball!"Although Mike Blowers might disagree, on this front, Sterling is kind of right.I got to thinking about all the games I've seen in person this season, and then thought about how improbably some of the results have been:I saw Chien Ming Wang, the 2009 Chien Ming Wang, outpitch Roy Halladay on July 4th. Halladay did...

Had he been able to get two mor...

Chien Ming Wang is not pitching well after coming off the DL, which he went on ostensibly for a hip/foot thing, but more likely that he had an ERA of nearly 35. He has not made it out of the fifth inning yet this season and tonight couldn't make it out of the third. Although the Yankees have quite the offense, the short starts burn the bullpen--the Yankees used three relievers tonight, in...

Wang allows six hits and three walks, and the outs I’ve seen were in the air. Mike Lowell homered, Wang’s fifth allowed this season in 21 1/3 innings. He gave up four last year in [...] Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:21:48 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Wang_Not_Right/689184 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/Wang_Not_Right/689184 Chien-Ming Wang made a convincing case for AAA demotion, and the Indians topped their Thursday desecration of the new joint by pouring in 14 runs in one inning, all part of a 22-4 demolition.

Wang, 28, made $4 million in 2008 when a arbitrator picked that figure over Wang's request for $4.6 million.

From Pete: This just in: Only six teams in baseball won more games than the Yankees. People also seem to have forgotten that Chien-Ming Wang started 15 games.

Sure he hasn't updated anyone with a "tweet" in two months, but who cares? How many other high-profile Major Leaguers do you know that are on Twitter?

This injury has prompted criticism from Hank Steinbrenner and radio announcer JT "the Brick", and raises the question of whether or not the NL should adopt the DH rule and spare their pitchers from having to bat. Frankly, Yankee fans should just shut the hell up... Follow the link to read more.

Let's pretend that a 7th grader was the editor of a major newspaper. Or if thats too difficult, pretend that you are the editor of the New York Post. The Yankees Ace goes down with an injury during the game and now you need to make a compelling headline that will grab peoples attention. This is what I came up with.

From Pete Abe "We're saying it's a sprained foot," Joe Girardi said. The manager said the injury was to Wang's foot, not his Achilles tendon or ankle. They would not say whether he had a fracture. More Info "I feel sore. The doctors say I have to go to get an MRI tomorrow.Of course I'm disappointed. And on Tuesday, when I know more, I will talk." Also, Girardi said he would "be shocked" if Wang makes his next start. Just ...
