We will never know about Pettitte. This will be debated by Yankee fans for time and memorial. Some say Mrs. Pettitte (Laura) wanted out and to go home. Others (myself included) say we won’t know what Andy’s decision was going to be because the Yankees never offered him the 4 year, 52 [...]

With Andy we may have won the Red Sox series last year and who knows about the WS. The Brown trade will go down as one of the worst in Yankees history. Remember, he not only cost us game seven last year, but Joe had to waste the bullpen in game [...]

Here’s food for thought:
Comparison on Brown and Pettitte.
Brown – 2004 and 2005 combined, 35 starts with 205 innings at 15 M per year (and players) and a broken fist.
Pettitte – 2004 and 2005 combined, 35 starts with 213 innings at a requested 13.5 M per year and Power for Living.
We won’t even [...]

The deals lately are purely out of desparation that was the creation of Cashman/George in the first place.
Signing 40 year olds with $30 million contracts and history of back problems (Brown/Johnson), guys who had career years (Pavano, Wright) in pitchers parks (Pavano, Wright, Quantrill, Weaver, Hammond) or with questionable injury history (Wright) just invites [...]

I am impressed that the Yankees haven’t panicked and traded away the future. For example, Cano looks like he could be a fixture at second base for many years. Last year he was trade bait.
The series this weekend is big. We need to return the favor and sweep the series.

I was not aware that the Yanks were in discussion with Cruz Jr. The Yankees love these guys who have killed them in the past (see Johnson and Womack). Anyway, Cruz Jr. is not the “sharpest tool in the shed” but he is a major leaguer who can play well at times. [...]

The Chacon move was a good one. At this point, it’s the lesser of two evils: A rookie or other unknown that may give up 12 runs in 5 innings or Chacon who, in Colorado, has an ERA of 4.09. Plus, the guy is only 27 years old. At least they have some idea [...]

Well it appears Cashman pulled the trigger on getting Shawn Chacon in exchange for two pitching prospects that didn’t sound familiar to me. Chacon doesn’t light the world on fire, but with the current state of the pitching, he could potentially eat up innings. With this offense, he won’t be expected to do [...]

The Yankees had to have yesterday’s game. Mussina and Matsui deserve game balls; however, without Mo we don’t win the game. Gordon is a liability. Joe may want Gordon to trade places with Sturtze.
Giambi had a big series. Even yesterday he was on base with a walk and hit by [...]

I couldn’t agree more. We have said on this site repeatedly that the division is most likely to come down to only a couple of games. By messing up the bullpen Tuesday in Texas, he affect the game in Anaheim on Thursday. Joe can spin all he wants about protecting the health [...]
