Now that the off season has officially begun for the Yanks, I’m going to switch from my ‘Random Thoughts’ posts about the games and various news items to specific pieces on players and payroll issues the Yanks will have to address this off season. Each one deserves its own post examining the thought process behind [...]

From Andy McCullough : Injured Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang said he has an appointment with renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews on Monday to inspect his right shoulder. As of now, Wang says he's scheduled to throw a rehab game in April or May. I'm not sure what the Yankees plans are with Wang, but for a team that will need at least one starting pitcher next year a healthy Wang would be a great...

We haven't had a World Series rematch since the Yankees and Dodgers squared off in 1977 and then again in 1978, but that doesn't stop ESPN's Buster Olney from looking at what stands in the way of another Yanks-Phils Fall Classic in 2010. Let's round up some hot stove talk... Olney guesses that the Yankees won't tender Chien-Ming Wang a contract, but they may decide to pursue another starter through...

I don't have anything of value—in terms of insight or comedy—to add to what's already been said about this ridiculous Mike Lupica article from today's NY Daily News. Craig already talked about it at NBC during his morning in exile from his soon to be retired lawyer unique perspective. But Jay at Fack Youk gives a much more scathing commentary on the same article. From the post: You have...

Did I say five-game sweep or what? Honestly, this year's Dudgers put on a worse performance in the NLCS than last year's Dudgers. Other than a freakishly good outing by Padilla last Friday, the Phils whacked the Duds starters and knocked the whole Western Blue pitching staff around -- a 35-16 aggregate run total in the Phils' favor after just a 25-20 total win last year. Unlike the '08 NLCS, the Duds'...

For the past few years, New York Yankees fans furiously debated how the team should use Joba Chamberlain. The Joba relief camp desired a dominant eighth-ninth inning combo that would make each game a seven-inning affair when the Yankees had the lead. Plus, according to that logic, Chamberlain could just be groomed to be the successor to Mariano Rivera. On the other end of the argument, those who felt...

I don't know if I've told you guys this but I've only really been a serious Yankees fan for a few years now. My fandom can really be traced back to one game, one very similar to last night's. In 2004 the Yankees also faced the Minnesota Twin in the ALDS and went into the Metrodome to win the clincher. With some heroics from Alex Rodriguez, they took the game and were headed to the ALCS to take on the...

by Kathy Willens - AP View full size photo uploaded October 11, 2009 The Carl Pavano saga was a gut-wrencher because I thought he was a great signing. He was just entering his prime when he signed with the Yankees, and he was going to partner with the veteran aces Mussina, Randy and Kevin Brown to lead the Yankees to the playoffs. He turned down more money from the Red Sox and the Reds because he wanted...
