Ty Wigginton?

A while ago I suggested the Yanks pick up Ty Wigginton to help out their bench. It looked like he was going to get a starting job though so I gave up on that idea fairly quickly. However, according to Walt Jocketty, "They're getting close to desperate stage." He has an...

Ken Rosenthal has a few interesting notes today. First of all, the Yanks are not interested in Juan Cruz and I don't blame them. He`s a tempting target but I`m unwilling to decimate the 2009 draft anymore. Supposedly, its a very deep draft and if the Yanks can go over-slot then...

You know, as I get deeper into these I get the sense more and more that these teams are idiots for the way they order their rotations. Its also kind of cool to see how lucky certain guys got. Yankees- A. J. Burnett- I wasn't a fan of this signing but their's no denying that...

Theirs still a few big names left on the market. Not only big names, guys that are still big players. To kill time in a slow month, here's a list of the top three: 1) Manny Ramirez- This one was harder for me than you`d expect. Ben Sheets would be ahead but his injury may be worse...

I put Pettitte in this spot. They`re going to want to limit Joba's innings so he`ll be the #5 guy. Boston's situation also starts to get a little fuzzy at the back-end. I`m going with Wakefield here though. Yankees- Andy Pettitte- Even if Any makes his incentives, he could...

Chase Wright was traded for Eric Fryer today. If you remember, Wright was DFA'ed for Pettitte so you couldn't expect much in return. I`m not really a fan of Wright's his low K numbers were scary. Fryer is a A leftfielder who put up good numbers last year but wasn't...

We`ve really hit a lull in the new in baseball. Yeah, their`s a few free agents out there but the Yanks are done. They offered a minor league deal to Andruw Jones but he rejected it and I think he`ll get a major league deal somewhere. If anybody has any rumors, ridiculous articles, or crazy ...

Somehow, I just knew we were going to have another A-Rod controversy before Spring Training. Joe Torre's book wasn't enough, we needed something bigger. Something with more staying power. Sports Illustrated broke the news this morning. When I woke up and read on the ESPN ticker...

Looks like Canseco was right, A-Rod did use the juice along with 103 other players in 2003. Of course when Canseco pointed the finger it was disregarded, it seems like Jose was just trying to make a quick buck. Remember when he denied it on national television?: Facts...

The question often being raised now about Alex Rodriguez is how long he was juicing. While driving yesterday I had a thought. Does anybody else remember all the talk about A-Rod slimming down before the 2007 season? Maybe I`m imagining it because I can't find a link but I recall...

"It's a terrific book," King said. "It's an extraordinary book. Even though it's written in the third person, it obviously is the thoughts of Joe, or why would he have approved it? It's a fascinating look at the Yankees and those years." Joe must be terrified.
Bruney Signed

The Yanks have avoided arbitration with Brian Bruney by giving him a one year deal worth about 1.5 million dollars. This is it for the arbitration eligible players. Bruney could be a big part of the 2009 bullpen. Bruney has great stuff and ever since he lost that weight last winter he`s seemed ...

I went with Wang in this spot because he has seniority over Burnett with regards to his time with the Yankees. They could really go either way on this one. Burnett probably makes more sense I guess. Yankees- Chien-Ming Wang- Wang had a very dissapointing 2008. It wasn't just his...

Yesterday Chase Wright was DFA'ed to make room on the 40 man roster for Pettitte. I`m not a big fan of Wright but somebody will pick him up because of those gaudy AAA numbers.

Joe Torre has written a new book scheduled to be released February 3rd. Titled "The Yankee Years," it is a collaboration with Tom Verducci. In the book Torre, manager of the Yankees at the time, claims that when Alex Rodriguez first joined the Yankees he was referred to by...
