Part 1 Part 2 In 2009, the Yankees used 22 fielders and 23 pitchers plus Nick Swisher. Take the core lineup out of the discussion for a minute.

The remaining players contributed 6.4 wins above replacement in 2009, with Phil Hughes the top contributor at 3.2...

The void that will be created with the departures of John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Darren Oliver , and Vladimir Guerrero will be felt long after they sign new contracts with their new teams. Lackey is a true number one Ace, Figgins is a true lead off hitter and has great defensive skills, Oliver isn't only a lefty specialist, and Vladimir was the face of the franchise. But like Tony Reagins said on...

Alright, so I know most of the discussion so far about the offseason has involved our free agents ( John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Vladimir Guerrero , and Darren Oliver ), big hitting free agents ( Jason Bay & Matt Holliday ), and trades (anyone remember a discussion about Curtis Granderson ?), but there has not been much discussion about other free agents on the market which could really help our...

I loathe [hardware load balancers]. They’re expensive, restrictive, slow, and generally cause you a lot more pain and suffering than they’re worth. At my last job, one of my projects was to convert most of one of our existing clusters from a load-balancing appliance to use keepalived. Why would we do this?

Working on three days rest, CC Sabathia munched his way through the Los Angeles Angels lineup for eight innings, allowing just one run on five hits, and striking out five after 101 pitches to aid his New York Yankees in their 10-1 victory.
