New York Yankees: 2012 starting rotation two down and three to go

It is no secret that the New York Yankees main focus this Spring Training is to figure out the 2012 starting pitching rotation.

Up to now, skipper Joe Girardi has only confirmed the obvious, that ace CC Sabathia will be the Yankees’ Opening Day starter vs. the Tampa Bay Rays, on April 6th at Tropicana Field.

Now you can add Hiroki Kuroda to the list, as Girardi revealed that the right-hander is the second confirmed arm in the 2012 rotation. As via the Associated Press, Girardi said:

“We’ve got six guys for five spots … and you really can look at it as, you’ve got CC and you’ve got Kuroda. So, you’ve got four guys for three spots.”

This Kuroda news should come as no surprise, as it did cost the Yankees $10 million bucks to bring the 36-year olds talents from Dodger-land to the Bronx for the 2012 season. And GM Brian Cashman did not make that deal for Kuroda to come out of the bullpen that is for sure.

Actually, the Yankees skipper summed it up best:

“You signed Kuroda to start, you signed all these guys to start. Kuroda has a big track history.”

What about the 3, 4, & 5 spots? Continue reading ‘New York Yankees: 2012 starting rotation two down and three to go’ »

New York Yankees: Angels Turn To The Dark Side

Posted by on 8 December 2011, 12:40 pm

Can you blame them?

I am talking about the new evil empire called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who dropped the bomb today with the announcements of signing Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson.

Pujols will be making $250 million bucks over the next 10-years; while Wilson will be paid $77.5 million over the next 5-years.

If the Angels new pricey transports work out like the 2009 New York Yankees, the Halos are banking on being World Series bound in 2012, literally.

It must be a wretched day in St. Louis, Missouri. My heart goes out the Cardinals fans that lost the face of their franchise today, as Pujols took money over loyalty and that hurts, no doubt about it.

Pujols is the West Coast’s version of A-rod, which would make him A-Jols?

Need a better nickname than that, but you can’t fake the Yankees without an A-something and the Halos got themselves an expensive one.

Since, Rangers’ fans have only been around for like three years who cares, but supposedly their offer to Wilson was pathetic, according to Wilson. Bo-ho.

Now not to worry Yankee fans, as it will take the Halos at least a decade more of overspending, while winning four more World Series for them to ever catch the boys in the Bronx.

Hey the Bombers are still the rightful owners of the highest paid player ever in Alex Rodriguez, so take that Angels.

New York Yankees: Free Agent Pitching Possibilities

It came as no surprise to learn that the New York Yankees inked Brian Cashman to another three-year deal to stay the franchise’s GM, aka The Brain Behind the Bombers.

Cashman didn’t miss a beat, as he was busy locking up the team’s ace CC Sabathia for a guaranteed five years, with a vesting option for a sixth, just hours before he worried about his own contract.

For the first time in forever and after last off-season’s absurd drama, the Yankees will finally start an off-season calmly. For Cashman that means his attention will not solely be focused on putting all the pinstripe eggs into one free agents basket.

The Yankees GM said the main goal was resigning Sabathia; otherwise his focus will be on “pitching, pitching, pitching.”

Mark Feinsand of the NY Daily News wrote a great article and quoted Cashman responding to what the Yankees off-season goals this past Tuesday:

“As we enter the process this winter, I don’t anticipate a bat being of need at all. I anticipate people knocking on our door about the current bats we have. Offense is not a problem with this club, despite what happened in the Detroit series here in the first week of October. I don’t think we’re offensively challenged at all.”

Well, all this leaves for certain is that the relentless New York media will be mustering up plenty more BS than usual, as fans wait for 2012 Spring Training to start. Continue reading ‘New York Yankees: Free Agent Pitching Possibilities’ »

Yankees-Tigers: Aces On Deck Predictions Part 2

Posted by on 3 October 2011, 3:44 pm

After winning ALDS Game 1, the New York Yankees lost their second match-up to the Detroit Tigers 5-3; on what should have been a travel day for both clubs.

For the second time in three days the skies opened up yielding to more teeming rain in the Bronx, a sight that both baseball fans and players are getting way to accustomed too.

So both teams leave New York on route to Comerica Park in Detroit tied-up at 1-1; making it the perfect time for some Game 1 déjà vu, as Yankees CC Sabathia will once again take the hill vs. Tigers Justin Verlander.

This battle of aces is what baseball fans anticipated seeing last Friday night, as it was a textbook match-up worthy of opening the postseason. To bad Mother Nature had another plan and allotted just an inning and a half to be played.

So now Sabathia and Verlander will try again, and I think the urgency for perfection is a necessity for both teams, as they are tied at a game apiece…. with just two games to go after tonight’s BATTLE OF THE ACES!!!

MY PREDICTION:

If you read my original article about ALDS Game One….New York Yankees: Secret To ALDS Success Vs. Detroit Tigers my prediction was that the Yankees would win 3-2.

Being that it is a different day, in another team’s house makes absolutely no difference to me. Comerica Park is a pitcher’s park, which means home-runs will have to go further than in the Bronx; and the Yankees haven’t always had the easiest time in Detroit but I think the comments from Tigers closer, Jose Valverde might be just what the team needed to prove through actions, not words.

My prediction remains… Yankees win Game 3, but the scoreboard will read of 5-2.

New York Yankees: Losing Is Contagious

Posted by on 10 August 2011, 3:58 am

As I headed to the Bronx on Tuesday night, to watch the New York Yankees take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the last thing on my mind was the possibility of losing.

I certainly didn’t expect to witness Mariano Rivera blowing his second save in a row, which resulted in another loss for the Yankees.

Well reality does bite, as the Yankees did get beat-up again at the hand of the Halos who won the game 6-4, thanks to a two-run blast off ex-Yankee Bobby Abreu in the ninth.

What made it more painful was that Mo was to blame; as Yankees Stadium takes on the worst kind-of silence on the rare occasions he makes a mistake.

Even more now because the reality is that Mo is 41-years old and saying goodbye is just unimaginable to any one who swears loyalty to the Yankee pinstripes.

When I talked with my father after the game, his first statement was, “The Yankees can’t trust Rivera anymore.”

I responded by saying he was being way to dramatic, only to be refuted with the fact that Mo’s cutter has not been cutting for some time like it used too.

Thinking about what my father said made me so sad. I literally had to force myself to stay focused on today, which spells S-L-U-M-P or at least the start to one.

There isn’t a less perfect time for the Yankees to start losing by beating themselves. This skid has to halt tomorrow because losing is even more contagious than winning.

NOTES ABOUT THIS SERIES….

When the Halos came into the Bronx Tuesday night boosting a 21-12 record since the start of July. Continue reading ‘New York Yankees: Losing Is Contagious’ »
