If he can get back to his 2007 season form then he'd be good....
But his shoulder was injured last year & still is somewhat injured pretty sure.

wow id donate for that and i always said i would never sonate

 

[xnyles]

Pitcher Betances looks really really good. Pitcher Andrew Brackman looks really good also and i wont be surprise if Hughes come back with wins cause he hassome serious talent and Ian Kennedy just cant play MLB.

 

[xnyles]

Is funny when other teams start complaining about these signings but if they had Yankees money they would do the same thing.And Florida and brewersshouldn't say anything when Yankees pay the luxury tax the owners of the aforementioned teams will put in their pockets and wont spend it on their teams.

 

[fenixconnexion]

to the article on pg 43, i am greatful that i was able to witness the greatest sport on earth at the most prestigious stadium in history

We are developing a nice little far system

And don't give up on Ian yet, he's still young.

Exactly...

You don't hear other teams complaining when they're cashing their checks. Plus, there are a number of other owners in MLB with more money than theStein's, but they choose to pocket the money.

[h1]Latest On Andy Pettitte[/h1]
By Tim Dierkes [December 31 at 10:37am CST]

According to JohnHarper of the New York Daily News:

A person in regular contact with Yankee brass said Tuesday he believes the club still wants Andy Pettitte back andbelieves a deal will get done, perhaps as early as next week. According to this person, someone in the Yankee organization was putting out that word assomething of a scare tactic, knowing that Pettitte badly wants to pitch for the Yankees next season. "They just want him at their price, that's stillthe bottom line," the person said.

Pettitte, 36, posted a 4.54 ERA in 33 starts this year. His 2.9 K/BB and strong groundball rate indicate he's capable of bouncing back. He's more than a fifth starter.

How can Pettite NOT pitch at the new stadium?

 

[im cool c]

Die hard Yankee fan.. But I got to say $*+% PETTITE then. even though it'll hurt.

Hughes, Kennedy: I hope both can rebound.
Brackman: Hope dude pans out, too. Isn't he 6'10 ?
Is Phil Coke going to become a starter or reliever? He seemed to be pretty good during his Sept call-up (to think he almost went to Pittsburgh in theNady/Marte deal). I also heard some good stuff about Kontos (the other pitcher who almost went to PIT), too.
Offense is supposed to look real good for 2010...Jackson and Montero

Hope they all get a chance to play for the Yankees and not for some other team...

You a fool.
That's tight though

 

[tbone95860]

The Joba debate: Why does still continue in some quarters? He had a 2.76 ERA in 12 starts last season. He struck out 74 batters in 60 innings. He's a really, really good starter and he's 23. Do the math: It's better to have a great pitcher throw 200 innings instead of 70.

The idea that Joba should go back to the bullpen because the Yankees signed CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett is inane. The best, most efficient way to win baseball games is to have as many games as possible started by good pitchers. The eighth inning is not as important as innings one through six.

Greed: Those of you who insist the Yankees should sign Manny Ramirez need to get a grip. The offense is just fine. The Yankees need young, versatile, cost-effective position players who can catch the ball and will buy into Joe Girardi's vision. Not old, expensive, one-dimensional selfish DH types. The idea should be to pay players for what they will do for you, not for what they did for their former team.

Over-thinking: People have told me Orlando Hudson could play center. Robinson Cano should play left. Derek Jeter can play center. Use Hideki Matsui at first base. This is a major league baseball team, not the second game of a American Legion doubleheader. Good teams don't experiment like that unless there is no other choice. The Yankees always have another choice.

Hating on young players: To read some comments on the blog, people think Cano, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy has bad seasons on purpose. Mickey Mantle hit .267 in his first 341 ABs and struck out 74 times. Tom Glavine was 9-21, 4.76 in the first two seasons. How about waiting a bit before deciding somebody isn't any good?

Suspending reality: A rumor flew around this week that the Yankees might have interest in Erik Bedard. Never mind that he has a bad shoulder, a bad hip and a bad personality. He's a perfect No. 5 starter! At some point, some things don't make sense no matter how much you try.

and finally …

Leave Hideki Matsui alone: Now that the Yankees have an extra player, some folks want Hideki shipped out of town for most anything. Lest you forget, Godzilla has a .371 career OBP and has driven in 103+ plus runs every year he was healthy. He's also 34, not 44. When A-Rod had his monster 2007, you know who hit behind him most days? Matsui, that's who.
