Aceves looks to strengthen his case for the #5 spot.

The Yanks put pressure on Brett Myers of Houston in the first inning of today’s spring training game, but Myers escaped. Gardner had a leadoff single, but was picked off first by Astros’ catcher Humberto Quintero. Myers then walked Nick Johnson and Mark Teixeira, but A-Rod hit into a 6-4-3 DP. Good point by Chad Jennings at LoHud: It was Gardner’s [read more...]

Yanks lose SS S.T. night game, 6-2. Mitre stays in hunt.

The Yanks lost their split squad night game to the Rays 6-2, but Sergio Mitre stayed in the hunt for the #5 starter job. Mitre went 5 innings, gave up 2 runs, struck out 7, gave up just 2 hits and one walk. He and Aceves have really done well for themselves this spring training. Chad Gaudin however, seems to have [read more...]

Afternoon S.T. game. Yanks win 6-2; CC good, A-Rod HRs.

CC gave up a double and single in the first for a run, but through two has given up just that one run, two hits, and has 3 Ks. Jeter singled in two in a 3-run 2nd. CC gave up a hit in the 3rd, but had a scoreless inning. Nice outing for CC. 4 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 0 walks [read more...]

Yankees split up today, another cultural icon passes.

Back in the 1950’s, coonskin caps were the rage as the Ballad of Davy Crockett hit #1 on the Billboard charts. Bill Hayes, later a soap opera star (Days of Our Lives) took it to #1 in the spring of 1955. The fad was so popular that Tennessee Ernie Ford hit #5 with the song (BEFORE Sixteen Tons went to [read more...]

Yanks win 6-4 in S.T. game. Curtis making a case for a midseason callup.

Colin Curtis is 25, and last year between AA and AAA hit a combined .250 with 7 HR and 48 RBI. The lefty hitter hit .255-10-71 at AA in 2008. Ok, it doesn’t look that impressive. But Curtis is having a nice spring training for the Yankees this year. Although it would be a major shock to see him on the [read more...]

Splitting hairs. Who will have the health?

Excellent article in comparing the Yanks and Red Sox for 2010. Who will be healthier, especially in the rotation? S.I.’s Tom Verducci says it’ll all come down to that. As Verducci states, Look at Boston’s rotation. After Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, who are reliable, the Red Sox have John Lackey, who has missed 15 starts the past two years, Daisuke Matsuzaka, [read more...]

Joba must impress today. Result: Pettitte ok, Marte awful. Joba ok. Yanks lose in S.T. 6-2.

With Aceves and Hughes leading the pack for the 5th starter position, Joba Chamberlain looks at today and sees his stats in last place, behind those two as well as Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre. It’s put up or shut up time. Andy Pettitte starts against the Phils today, Damaso Marte gets an inning, but eyes will be on Joba. His first two [read more...]
