In an article about the Yankees outfield depth beyond their starters , I made the assumption that Marcus Thames was going to make the team and made it seem like the only way Jamie Hoffmann would stick with the team is if the Yankees worked out a trade with the Dodgers to keep the Rule 5 pick. I shouldnÆt have done that because while Thames might be the favorite, ...

Among the possible free agents in next yearÆs class that fans have their eye on is left fielder Carl Crawford , but unlike somebody like Cliff Lee, fans are not unanimous in their support for Crawford. Many say that he wonÆt leave Tampa, so why bother worrying. Some fear that 2008 was an indication that he wonÆt be worth the money, and most fear that as a speedster his game will ...

The Yankees are starting the 2010 season with only two locks in their outfield ,and a long list of outfielders—many of which will not make the Bronx roster, and instead will be in Scranton. The locks are Nick Swisher in right and Curtis Granderson in center, or maybe left. After that it is anyone’s guess. Brett Gardner seems like the favorite to be the third outfielder. Brian Cashman has said ...

This is a great video that really shows off the Old Yankee Stadium in a dramatic way. ItÆs really moving and it makes you realize whatÆs at stakeùthe Old Stadium is coming down and theyÆre not planning on saving any of it. I hate to go all cause-head on you, but you should watch this video and give a moment of your time to the Save the Yankee Gate 2 cause. ...

Here at Bronx Baseball Daily we cover the Yankees all day and everyday, but we donÆt always spend a lot of time on the other teams in the league. So lately weÆve been reaching out to some other blogs to get a better look at the Yankees' opponents. Last week we spoke with Rob Munstis of The Bottom Line , a Red Sox blog, in an interview that if you ...

WeÆve seen a ton of these this winter. It seems like every Yankee blog out there has their own. WeÆve even toyed with the idea of releasing one here at BBD (having not seen most of these players play ourselves weÆve decided to let others handle it). Out of all of those lists there really are only a couple that matter. Pinstripes Plus is a must read (but will cost you ...

Jesus Montero has been a hot issue with the Yankees lately. Should they trade him or keep him? Is he good enough to stay behind the plate or should they move him to another position? If they move him to another position where should it be? Is he ready for the major leagues now? Should he be a midseason call-up or should they take it slow with him? These questions ...

After the Joba Chamberlain/Phil Hughes debate, the topic that we have focused on the most this offseason has probably been the state of the Yankees bench. It seems like it's one spot on the Yankees that is always in flux, and that was no different this offseason after they lost Eric Hinske, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Jose Molina. Luckily for the Yankees, they had a couple of young players ready to step ...

Brian Cashman has been the Yankees general manager since 1998, but it was only after 2004 when he really started taking over the team. Today, Hal Steinbrenner runs the budget, but Cashman seems like heÆs in charge of everything else. That is why when he speaks itÆs probably smart to listen. When he speaks to NoMaas.org, youÆd damn well better listen . NoMaas spoke with him this week, and it was an ...

The Yankees have signed 28-year-old right handed pitcher Dustin Moseley to a minor league deal, and invited him to spring training as a non-roster invitee. The Yankees have also announced that they have invited four of their other minor leaguers to camp. The other minor leaguers are infielders Brandon Laird and Jorge Vazquez, as well as right handed pitchers DJ Mitchell and Ryan Popeá That brings the amount of players ...
