Arod Must Do well Or He’s Gone
2007-03-17 06:42:44
The Boston Redsox Failed to get Arod and The Rival Yankees Acquired The $250 million man "Arod" On a Trade that sent Alfonso Soriano and two minor league prospects to  the Texas Rangers, My Opinion is Arod is Like Alfonso Soriano He perfomed well on the season but he was awful on the playoffs, I think Arod needs to be confident on the playoffs situation, He needs to relax and focus in order to win, dont let the ny media make him miserable. The Ny Yankees Fans needs to Comfort him, Give him Support, not booing him.Imagine If we Get Albert Pujols instead of Arod but that not happening, so this is his year he needs to enjoy more on the field.


Yankees lose to the Astros 4-3
2007-03-17 02:52:16
Yankees lose to the Astros 4-3 Ching Ming Wang has been impressive so far and  on pace to pitch opener. Another solid outing By Wang and looking good for Opening Day.  Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang allowed one run and four hits with three strikeouts and no walks in five innings. Wang, who had minor tightness in his right forearm and wrist during his last outing, said he felt fine on Friday. He threw 61 pitches, 46 for strikes. Luis Vizcaino didn’t allow a hit or run and struck out two in one inning for New York. Vizcaino was 4-6 last season with a 3.58 ERA in 70 games for Arizona. "He’s getting better," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "With him it’s about command. It’s the same thing, but his stuff is good. I thought he was a little sharper today with both his pitches." But Torre wasn’t as pleased with lefty Ron Villone, who allowed four hits, including home runs to Morgan Ensberg and Adam Everett, in one inning. "

2007-03-17 02:03:18
Yankees outfielder Abreu takes batting practice  According to Houston Chronicle that Former Astros and Current Yankee outfielder Bobby Abreu took batting practice in a cage against a pitcher for the first time since straining his right oblique last month.Abreu took 55 swings today, including some at almost full intensity."I tried to push it a little bit more," the New York Yankees right fielder said. "It was fine. I feel great. I didn’t hurt at all. That makes me feel good." Abreu may take batting practice on the field this weekend and hopes to be ready for opening day on April 2. "I still have two weeks," Abreu said. "I’m on track right now." Yankees catcher Wil Nieves, out with right biceps soreness, swung a bat and is hopeful of returning early next week. New York right-hander Humberto Sanchez, sidelined by right elbow inflammation, threw 25 pitches during his second half-mound session. He is expected to throw another session

Pettitte was strong, Pavano’s shaky in Yanks 3-2 loss
2007-03-18 00:51:22
Pettitte was strong, Pavano’s shaky in Yanks 3-2 loss In an article from YesNetwork,  Associated press  reports Pettitte was  strong in his outing today and  Pavano’s shaky in Yanks loss.  Carl Pavano is seeking the consistency Andy Pettitte displayed.  Pettitte pitched five scoreless innings before Pavano tossed three shaky ones in the New York Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. "I definitely felt a little funky out there," Pavano said. "I didn’t feel very consistent. That’s what spring training is for. You go through that and you go through the same things during the year." "He may be just a little flat right now," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "It’s progress. It’s steps forward to me." Pettitte, who could end up being New York’s No. 1 starter, hasn’t allowed a run in 10 innings this spring. "It was a tough to day to pitc

ABREU’S AIMIN’ FOR OPENER
2007-03-17 14:35:31
In the NYPost, George King writes that Abreu’s aiming for Opener. "I tried to push it more and it was fine," Abreu said after taking live BP indoors at Legends Field yesterday. "I feel great, I didn’t hurt at all and that makes me feel good." Asked if he would be ready to play right field by Opening Day, Abreu said, "I have two weeks and I’m on track right now." Joe Torre said if Abreu is ready to play by Thursday, there should be enough time for him to get the required amount of at-bats. Good News, that Abreu’s feeling much better. I expect him to have great year amd bounce back from his power outage,  


Springing ahead without Bernie
2007-03-17 14:26:41
  In an article for the DAILY NEWS, ANTHONY McCARRON reports the chances of Bernie Williams donning a Yankee uniform this season have dwindled to "a very, very long shot," Joe Torre said yesterday. "Only because spring training would’ve been so important for him and for us, to put things together," Torre added. Williams has not returned the two calls Torre made at the beginning of camp, so the only closure the Yankees have had is Williams’ silence. Torre doubts that his old center fielder will play for another team. "That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, but if he was going to, I think it would’ve happened already," Torre said. Torre said he plans to call Williams again, though it will be more social. "This spring was all about business," Torre said. "Any calls I make will be of a personal nature. I don’t want to lose that." I feel sorry for Bernie, He’s  been a great Yankee. There&rsqu

The Yankees defeated The Pirates by the score of 8 to 1
2007-03-19 12:06:14
  The Yankees defeated The Pirates by the score of 8 to 1. Head to Mlb.com for full Boxscore. Pirates at the plate: Jose Castillo stroked a seventh-inning single off Kyle Farnsworth, scoring Michael Ryan with Pittsburgh’s run. Yankees at the plate: Jason Giambi’s grand slam, a towering shot to right, highlighted a seven-run New York fourth inning. Melky Cabrera brought in the first run with a single to left, while Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui also picked up RBIs. Alex Rodriguez tripled to left-center before leaving for a pinch-runner and Josh Phelps singled in his first two at-bats. Pirates on the mound: Zach Duke threw three scoreless innings before being battered in the fourth. Duke — who allowed seven runs and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings — issued a bases-loaded walk to Jeter and was tagged for Giambi’s third home run of the spring. Yankees on the mound: Mike Mussina turned in his most impressive outing of the spring, allowing three h


Cano’s full of energy, too, as he tries to build on excellent ‘06 season
2007-03-18 17:15:43
Today’s Newsday Article, Kat  O’Brien  writes that Cano’s has full of promise and full  of energy, too, as he tries to build on excellent &lsquo ;06 season.The Yankees realize that Cano could continue to improve as a player without his numbers offering proof. They want to make sure he understands that as well. Manager Joe Torre said being around the second baseman daily should allow them to keep tabs on Cano and act quickly if he becomes fixated on numbers."You see if somebody’s forcing the issue," Torre said. "I don’t think he’s doing that. We talked to him about several things, including his contract. He seems to just be out there having fun."Regarding hitting above .340, Cano said with a smile: "I don’t think that’s going to happen again."Cano receives much more fan mail now than he did a year ago. It floods in from across the United States and even Japan and Taiwan, though he surprisingly sa


Abreu OK after BP, could play Thursday
2007-03-18 14:36:52
The NyDailyNews, Antony  McCarron writes  that Abreu could play Thursday .Bobby Abreu took batting practice on the field yesterday for the first time since straining his right oblique and, after a wary first few swings, completed the workout with no problems, giving him two consecutive days of painless hitting. "He even had a couple semi-check swings," Joe Torre said. "He had a full session and he didn’t look like he was favoring (the injury). Once he felt comfortable, he was fine." The Yankees are hoping Abreu can return to game action Thursday or perhaps earlier, which would give him roughly 10 days of spring games. But Torre doesn’t plan to rush things with the 33-year-old outfielder. "You’re going to go slow even during the season," Torre added. "A setback is usually a pretty good setback, but you never really know for sure till you play in games. A check swing is something you can’t practice."

Beefed-up Karstens trying for No. 5 spot
2007-03-20 13:40:52
 Antony Mccarron of NyDailynews says New Look Jeff Karstens is  trying for No. 5 spot . Jeff Karstens,  Mariano Rivera says "has tremendous potential," has helped create a rare rotation contest this spring in Yankee camp, a place that usually holds competitions only for less-significant, workaday jobs such as backup catcher. "I thought for sure the first two were gone and then the third went farther than any of them," he said. "They were playing wall-ball out there, pretty much." Still, Karstens impressed Joe Torre by not collapsing when he started to get hit. "During the season, you’re not going to be perfect all the time," Torre said. "He didn’t blow sky-high, that’s important." But Igawa has another chance to impress tonight when he starts against the Phillies and he certainly is the favorite to make the rotation. Asked if Karstens would be in if he outperformed Igawa the rest of the way, Torre said,


Yankees lose to the Bluejays 9-1
2007-03-19 20:49:27
  Tough Day for both Miguel Cairo and Chris Britton.   Miguel Cairo did  a horrible job in LF today, He had error that a  ball bounce off his glove that was called a double. Then he caught a pop up and threw wildly trying to double a runner off first. Cairo also popped to short in his first at-bat. Why Would Joe torre play and put Cairo in Left field when He can’t play that position very well?  Iguess this is Torre’s answer to not having Bernie as a 5th outfielder? I don’t want to see Cairo in the OF during the regular season unless it is an absolute emergency, and hopefully, we have a 20-run lead when it happens.It’s Cairo and Britton Fault. And that’s why the O’s were willing to do that swap with Yankees ..Basically Britton’s batting practice. He’s horrible and Bum..I hope He doesn’t make roster spot  in the bullpen… Good Job, by Cashman getting  this guy and trading for him.

Another Alex trade rumor
2007-03-21 18:20:28
Another Alex trade rumor Thanks to Mlb Trade Rumors website and Halos Heaven Blog The Los Angeles Times speculated yesterday that the Angels could be a frontrunner for Alex Rodriguez, obstensibly in the upcoming offseason. Bill Shaikin speculated that such an acquisition would make Orlando Cabrera the odd man out. On the heels of that story comes an intriguing trade rumor from Halos Heaven. Yes, it is a blog, but I have known the author for some time and can vouch for the authenticity of his sources. He says Bill Stoneman and Brian Cashman have a tentative plan in place where the Angels could trade Dustin Moseley, Jose Molina, and Jered Weaver for Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees will not accept this Stupid trade. Who will replace Arod playing at 3rd then?


Baseball not just about haves and have-nots
2007-03-21 17:09:53
Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports notes that revenue sharing and competitive balance in baseball is better than ever. While MLB’s competitive-balance problem never will be fully resolved, it also never was as dire as Selig made it sound while jockeying for position in labor negotiations prior to the 2002 agreement. Those execs have figured it out: Spending money does not ensure success. Wealthy teams such as the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers value young players as highly as low-revenue teams such as the A’s, Twins and Marlins. The Yankees, in fact, reduced their payroll last season and figure to be at approximately the same level this year The difference, quite frankly, is that the Yankees stopped winning World Series, altering the perceptions of those who believed the sport was dominated by big-money teams. Seven different clubs have won the past seven Series, going back to the Yankees’ last title — and fourth in five years — in 2000. Neither of the past two Seri


Yankees blanks the Phillies 2-0

Yankees blanks the Phillies 2-0   this evening at Tampa. Go to MLB.com for a full boxscore. Thanks to Bryan Hoch of Mlb.com  for the Updates Yankees at the plate: Johnny Damon brought in the first run of the game in the fifth inning with a one-out single to left, scoring Robinson Cano. Miguel Cairo got to Ryan Madson for New York’s second run with a double to left in the seventh. Making his 2007 Grapefruit League debut after a right oblique strain suffered Feb. 26, outfielder Bobby Abreu went 0-for-3 with a strikeout.   Yankees on the mound: Kei Igawa turned in arguably his most impressive outing of the spring, finding better command and limiting Philadelphia to two hits through five innings. The 27-year-old walked three, struck out three and had a little help from his defense in a 65-pitch (38 for strikes) effort, with two double plays, including an 8-6-3 twin killing that ended the second. Mariano Rivera pitched a scoreless sixth inning, striking out

Yankees blown 7-3 lead and lose to the Reds 8-7.
2007-03-22 23:11:06
At her blog for the Newsday, Kat O’Brien says there’s strange things happenings in Sarasota, Florida. She reported that there’s a swarm of maybe 100 bees swirled across the field, causing them to leave the field momentarily in the sixth inning vs Reds. Jorge Posada was the first to see them, as they moved from first base to shortstop and out to left field. He warned his teammates off, though some were quicker than others to catch on .When one person asked Derek Jeter where he saw them, he said, "Right by my head."                                         He didn’t seem too non-plussed about it, though some said they were a little freaked out. Yankees lose 8-7 on a walkoff RBI by the Reds’ Edwin Encarnacion. The Yankees were very pleased by Carl Pavano&rsqu


Papelbon will return to the bullpen as a Closer
2007-03-22 22:41:57
According  to Erin Andrews of Espn , She’s  reporting that  Papelbon will return to the bullpen as a Closer. Papelbon is heading back to Boston’s bullpen to fill a major void, though he isn’t doing it because an injury to Mike Timlin left the Red Sox without a closer. "I haven’t been sleeping well because there’s been that feeling deep down in my heart that I wanted to close," Papelbon said after the Phillies and Red Sox played to a 4-4 tie in 10 innings Thursday. He’s unique," Francona said. "He’s at the top of the list of relievers in baseball. He impacts the game like no other. I’m thrilled we have a young guy that feels enthusiastic about doing a job." Papelbon’s role model is Mariano Rivera, who has been a dominant closer for several years while helping the rival New York Yankees win four World Series titles. "Hopefully I can do what Rivera has done for the Yankees," he sai


Cashman says No extension for Arod’s contract
2007-03-22 14:57:04
In Today’s NyPost, Michael Morrisey talks about  Yankees GM Brian Cashman doesn’t plan to talk about a contract extension for Alex Rodriguez, even though Rodriguez has a clause in his contract that allows him to opt out after this season. "He has a significant contract as it is," Cashman told SI.com. "So I don’t anticipate any dialogue regarding an extension." The Yankees were given their last off day of the spring, so there was no reaction from Rodriguez yesterday. Cashman said it’s a subject he’s not stressing over with the Yankees heading to Opening Day in less than two weeks. "I’d like him to stay," the GM told The Post. "If he chooses to opt out, it’s something we’ll deal with over the winter. And we’ll deal with him as a free agent. We’re not focused on it right now." Why would Yankees give Arod contract extension? There’s still fours years left on it. Cashman’s m


Rotation fragile - Wang’s down with cramp
2007-03-23 21:59:33
In  Her Blog, Kat O’Brien of Newsday Wang’s suffered a cramp. Rotation fragile — Wang down with cramp Anyone need a reminder how fragile a starting rotation can be? Probably not, but Chien-Ming Wang was shut down for today after he "felt something" in his right hamstring while running this morning. They’re saying a cramp, though it could be a hamstring strain. That’s not good news, when Andy Pettitte has been out for several days due to back spasms. Although Joe Torre had not yet named an Opening Day starter, evidence seemed to be leaning towards Wang. Now we’ll see. Wang is not being sent for any tests, so they must not think it’s too bad. If people had been told at the start of spring training that two starting pitchers would have health problems in the final two weeks of the spring, everyone would have predicted Pavano would be one. Amazingly, he’s healthy though. I hope Wang’s will be alright and be ready for op


The Yankees lose 3-2 to the Pirates
2007-03-23 21:56:23
The Yankees lose 3-2 to the Pirates Head to Mlb.com for full boxscore. Darrell Rasner had strong outing today against the Pirates. He allowed seven hits, one unearned run while fanning five. Sean Henn continue to impress Joe and Yankees coaches .Sean Henn came in with a runner on first and two outs in the fifth and got Jason Bay to pop to second. He stayed in the game and retired the side in order in the sixth. In six appearances this spring, Henn has thrown six hitless innings with two walks and four strikeouts. I think Henn should make 25 man roster. Good Bye Villone, Hello to Henn. Hideki Matsui had an RBI single in the fourth, while Bronson Sardinha had a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to bring New York within one run. The Yankees had two men on base in the ninth but were unable to score and tying run across the plate. Colter Bean took the loss after allowing two runs in a three-hit seventh inning. Colter Bean = AAAA pitcher at best…. Yankees should release him.


Peter Abraham says Villone on bubble; Beam back to the minors
2007-03-23 18:08:52
In Lohud’s Blog, Peter Abraham says Villone on bubble; Beam back to the minors Initially when I saw him throw earlier in the spring it look like he was ahead of last year,” Torre said. “But after watching yesterday and a couple of other outings, it looks right now that he’s trying to impress by creating more velocity. But it’s what it is. Last year we certainly didn’t see the velocity until we got into the season. He is the same guy we see here this spring. Which means we have to make a decision.” Torre said he has been impressed with LHP Sean Henn, who is far more effective as a reliever than he was as a starter. “He’s much improved, he seems much more relaxed. Villone aside, we certainly have Sean on our radar,” Torre said. There are two other considerations in play. Henn has another option (based on minor-league DL) time and Villone’s contract guarantees him $2.5 million if he makes the team. So they can demote Henn a


Update on Wang’s condition
2007-03-25 17:51:18
Update on Wang’s Condition In Lohud’s Blog, Peter Abraham said Wang’s is making miracle recovery For a guy supposedly out until late April, Chien-Ming Wang looked pretty healthy this morning. The Wanger was out on the field at 9:07 a.m. and played catch with Ron Guidry for 13 minutes. He made 70 throws, most from a distance of 120 feet. And he was throwing from a semi windup and putting some zip on the ball. “I don’t feel anything,” said Wang, who has a slight tear in his right hamstring. “Yesterday I felt it when I walked. Today, nothing.” Brian Cashman said the team will be cautious and place Wang on the DL to start the season. But that can be backdated into spring training, so Wang could back earlier than initially expected This is a good news , I expect Yankees being careful and cautious with him, since He’s ace of Yankees.

Welcome back Roger?
2007-03-25 14:37:33
 Ny Post ,Kevin Kernan says Yankees must sign  Clemens than The Redsox. The recent injuries with Wang’s and Andy’s back spasms.   "There is no time to waste. Circumstances dictate immediate action. The Yankees need to play their best hand and get Roger Clemens back in Pinstripes. All the plans, all the moves are meaningless without an ace. As Cashman walked off the field after batting practice, I asked him if he has had any recent contact with Clemens’ agents in light of the Wang injury and Andy Pettitte’s troublesome back. "They know we’re interested," Cashman said. Clemens not only is the Yankees’ best option, he is their only option. The Yankees need to get Pettitte to send the following text message to Rocket: Come home to Pinstripes, old man" I agree with Kevin, I hope  Roger comes back and pitch for Yankees once again.

Pavano a possible Opener Day starter?
2007-03-24 22:19:46
Pavano a possible Opener Day starter? In Her Blog, Kat O’brien of Newsday says There’s possiblity Pavano’s opening day starter? What do you guys think? There is a real possibility Carl Pavano might be the Opening Day starter for the Yankees. Joe Torre basically ruled out the possibility of Mike Mussina making that start, as he started today and would have to pitch one time on short rest. He also ruled out Andy Pettitte, as Pettitte has been out since Monday with back spasms and won’t be ready to start until Thursday or Friday. Kei Igawa is highly unlikely to make his first major league start on Opening Day, and that leaves only Pavano or Jeff Karstens, who was not even going to make the rotation until Chien-Ming Wang got hurt. I’m hoping   Rocket  should be The   opening day starter  rather than Pavano.


Wang headed to Disabled list.
2007-03-24 17:39:21
  -9:30 am -  Listening to radio this morning  Sweeney Murti from  The Wfan says Wang is out at least three weeks and He will be on the DL at the beginning of season.Sweeney said that hamstring  injury is kind of serious.   -10.30 am - Kat O’Brien  Newsday  blog,  She confirms Wang’s is headed to the Dl. Chien-Ming Wang is headed to the disabled list with a Grade 1 hamstring pull (the least severe grade). Terrible news for the Yankees, for whom he was perhaps going to be the Opening Day starter. The target date for him to return is late April. Wang said, "I’m very, very sad. I hope it will get better and I can go back to New York." Wang sustained the hamstring pull yesterday while running for conditioning. The Yankees initially called it a cramp, but they must not have believed that. They sent him for an MRI yesterday afternoon. Wang said he felt it pop at the time. GM Brian Cashman said: &quo

Update on Rocket
2007-03-26 05:38:23
Update on Rocket  - No rush on roger In her Kat O’ Brien of Newsday says Don’t expect Roger Clemens to rush to the Yankees’ rescue. Clemens said earlier this month he won’t decide whether or not to pitch this year until May. In an email this evening, Clemens’s agent, Randy Hendricks reiterated that: "Our time frame will not change. It is the entire point of shortening the season." I guess Ross  Ohlendorf or Steven White could be viable options until Yankees Rocket returns. What are your thoughts?
