In order for players to be eligible for the postseason, they must be on a team’s 40 man roster by the close of transactions on August 31. Playoff rosters (25 man active) have to be submitted prior to each round of the playoffs. I would think the Division Series roster would have to [...]

I don’t understand this move either. When does Torre have to set his roster for the playoffs? Can Belhorn play all infield positions? I don’t think Womack can play short or third. Is it possible Belhorn is protection for Jeter and A-Rod? Other than that I have no explanation. [...]

Bellhorn can play third base. With Sanchez hurt, Escalona is their only backup option at that position. Womack can’t play third.
Third base is probably why they picked him up.
And unlike Escalona, Bellhorn has playoff experience.
With Lawton, he needs to be looked at as an upgrade to Womack, not Bernie. [...]

I saw that early this morning. Bellhorn is marginal player. Anyone who paid attention last year knows that Bellhorn’s success in the ALCS was due more to the poor Yankees pitching than anything Bellhorn did. He’s not good defensively, he’s not fast, and he strikes out way too much. I mean [...]

First it was signing Matt Lawton. Ok he has gotten a couple of hits but if Ruben is coming back isn’t he a better option in the outfield/DH? Now MLB.com is reporting that Mark Bellhorn was picked up off waivers. I realize that Rey Sanchez is hurt and Womack has been horrendous, [...]

Thanks to Giambi the Yankees remain hot. With no help from Mussina the Yankees managed to pull one out with clutch hitting from Giambi and two insurance runs from A-Rod and Lawton with home runs in the eight inning.
Aaron Small came up Big again winning his fifth game with [...]

Nothing will ever top “We play today. We win today. Dats it!”
I’m glad Posada is making use of his time. He’s not hitting, he doesn’t block the plate and he doesn’t call the pitches. Maybe he should use that free time and get in the batting cage. I’m sorry [...]

I feel the Yankees have the advantage this week playing the Mariners three hours after the Red Sox play at home facing the D-Rays. The Yankees will know if the Sox lose and whether they can close the gap and overtake them this week. Also, the D-Rays are playing better than the Mariners. [...]

Sheffield’s hit in the 9th on Saturday was big, he gets to move up a notch on the clutch-o-meter.
But the real reason the Yankees won was because Posada passed out some inspirational t-shirts to his teammates on Friday. The T-Shirts read “Grind it.” on the front and “There is no trying. There [...]

In the 9th, Derek Jeter singled to left scoring Jorge Posada and Matt Lawton and bringing the Yanks within one run of tying the game.
Who better to have stepping to the plate than Hideki “Clutch” Matsui? With one out, Womack at second and Jeter at first, the stage was set for Matsui to [...]
