Who else wants to see New York Yankees David Phelps in the starting rotation? After watching Phelps come and stop Phil Hughes from completely embarrassing himself against the Baltimore Orioles, I certainly do. The excuses for Hughes poor performance made by YES Network’s Michael Kay and Paul O’Neil during the game were annoying but completely legitimate. [...]

Yankees: Can We Really Trust Ivan Nova?
New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova is the real deal. At least that is what everybody initially thought of him. When Nova hit the major league level back in 2010, he showed some promise. Pitching just 42 innings in total, he went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA. It was a small sample size where he [...]
Yankees Labor Day Weekend review
What did I learn watching the New York Yankees over Labor Day Weekend?

So, I wimped out. And now look what happened…last time I don’t listen to my gut because I totally [...]
Not bad news yet but not music in New York Yankee fans ears either
The bad news is that New York Yankees slugger Curtis Grandersonis hurting. Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reported that Yankees GM Brain Cashman confirmed that the reason Granderson was out of the line-up was due to a sore right elbow. So, why is this necessarily bad news? No not necessarily yet, but [...]
New York Yankees: 3 pitching scenarios maybe 4
The New York Yankees have some pitching situations to solve. I have narrowed it down to three or four possibilities based on what I believe the 2012 Opening Day rotation should be, which in order is Sabathia, Kuroda, Pineda, Nova and Hughes. First being the plethora of starting pitching. That leaves Freddy Garcia hanging out [...]
