GM Mark Shapiro, after announcing Wedge and his coaching staff would keep their jobs through the season, said that he'll be looking for pitching from any trade he makes.
"Clearly, we are looking for pitching. . . . young pitching," he said. "Starting pitching, relief pitching, any way we can get it. We're looking for guys we can

Ah man what can you say about our bullpen. Aceves did ok today, it's kinda hard to change your style on the go. He has been relieving all year and he was asked by the team to start. His command was a little off and he seemed out of ryhthm but, I will take it he gave us 3 1/3 innings then our great bullpen took over. Robertson came in and struggled, he walked three and struck out two in his inning.

This is some food for thought for all off the Yankee GM's on this page. I got this from ESPN.
I say we take a shot and go after this kid if we can, He is young and still developing his pitches.
Aroldis Chapman, a Cuban considered by many scouts to be the best left-handed pitching prospect in the world, has defected from the national team, several sources have confirmed to ESPN

I am not sure what i think of getting Hinske. The primary cause of doubt for me is the simple fact that we have plenty of bats on the roster as is. Now, with Texeira and A-Rod coming around, additional bats are even less needed than they were before. Sure, losing Nady for the year hurts, but we have had enough depth to fill in to this point anyway. It really seems that we s

I am so sick of ransom on this team. He can not field. When he makes an error the other teams scores because of that error.
The error in todays game made me realize how much better pena is then ransom. Maybe the yankee manegment sees someting in ransom that I don't see?

I think the experiment is over with Swisher playing every game for the Yanks! I would rather see Brett Gardner & Melky Cabrera getting most of the playing time in the outfield. I would start getting

Why is Jose Aceves starting in the rotation?
He is one of the most important parts of out bullpen right now. Bullpens are used everyday, unles su have roy halladaoy on your team, and aceves pitches about 3 or 4 times a week. Phenominally, i might add.
So, why isnt someone called up? Tkae the rost spot of Cody Ransom

So, the Jays are going to "listen" to offers for Doc. Just out of fun, if you could play Cashman for a day and try to make the trade, whom would you dangle. For me, the untouchables are Montero, A-Jax, and Hughes. I would consider Joba as part of the package and even Banuelos and DJ Mitchell. So, if you had the chance to have a starting 3 of CC, Doc, and AJ, what would you

Aaron Hurang, he is making 14 million, highest payed pitcher on the Reds. The Reds are another team, like the Pirates, that the Yankees like to deal with. You know the Reds would love to give up that contract, and Hu

So the Yankees outfield is decent, but with Nady recently gone for the year and Hideki Matsui not really doing much, I strongly think that the Yankees should call up their #1 PROSPECT Austin

Let me preface this by saying I am NOT a big fan of A-Rod.
And before getting into my rant.... right now he needs better protection in the lineup than what Cano is offering. In fact, a hot Matsui or another walk machine, Swisher, should protect and hit behind A-Rod. Cano is better batting 8th and making Melky a better number 7 hitter. Gardner starts the cycle again by batting 9th.

Jeter may not deserve to start the All-Star game, but deserves to be in it.
Texiera vs. Youkilis (vs. Morneau) is at least worth arguing - there are pretty good reasons for any of that trio to start, and at least they're all in it.
But how have I not seen Robinson Cano being defended everywhere by Yankee

I have the feeling you're all cursing this decision, but before you do, think about it. Phil Hughes is doing really well in the pen, plus, it's not really fair to keep bumping the kid around. He's really needed there for the 8th right now anyway since Br

Can you believe what this kid is doing in the minors?? They have to to bump him up to triple A any day now. This is the split from the begining of the season to his promotion to double A.
