First, CC, AJ, Andy and Joba contributed more than 170IP more than the 2008 top 4 starters of Moose, Pettitte, Rasner and Wang. Then, Phil Hughes locked down the 8th inning- 51IP, 0.86 WHIP, .228 SLG against, 11.4K/9....

The Blue Jays have added right-handed pitcher Reidier Gonzalez to their 40-man roster . That means the 24 year-old Cuban is protected from being selected by another club in the Rule 5 draft on December 10th. Gonzalez went 4-6 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in 17 starts with AA New Hampshire last season but was battling groin problems that derailed any chance of being called up to the big club. Currently,...

From Jon Heyman : The Yankees recently called the Blue Jays to express interest in superstar pitcher Roy Halladay. And while the Yankees made the very same call last summer with no hope of acquiring Halladay, this time they have a real reason to believe they may actually have a legitimate chance to make a blockbuster trade. ...

When Brian Cashman announced last week that Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes would not have significant innings limits next season, he hedged his bets on the two youngsters’ true roles. “I look at them as starters that can relieve,” Cashman said. “But I look at them as starters.” In one sense, that characterization gives the Yanks [...] Post from: River Ave. Blues A New...

Determining Joba Chamberlain's role for the 2010 season is one of the many things on the Yankees to-do list this offseason, but as of now that role is still undefined . As for Chamberlain, the Yankees have not yet told him whether he should prepare as a starting pitcher or a reliever. With Spring Training still three months away, Chamberlain has not even begun working out again, much less throwing....

I know it’s stupid to play the “what if?” game, but I feel the need to stress the affect Roy Halladay would have on the 2010 Yankees. 1. Halladay will most likely be moved this off-season, and almost certainly before the All-Star break because he no longer believes in the Blue Jays chances of winning. Last All-Star break, Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi was adamantly against trading within...
