Trading Places: Would Yankees Be Better Off with Cano and Granderson Instead of Ellsbury and Beltran?

Posted in Baseball, Free Agents, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on September 16, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

Is December 6, 2013 a day that will live in baseball infamy for the Yankees? On that date, and within 72 hours of signing Jacoby Ellsbury to a seven-year deal, the Bronx Bombers said goodbye to Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson and then welcomed Carlos Beltran into the fold. The transformation may have been quick, but the […]

A New Robbie at 2B? Should Yankees Take Page from 10-Year Old Playbook and Promote Refsnyder

Posted in MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on May 22, 2015 | 1 Comment »

Those who ignore history are denied the opportunity to repeat it. With apologies to George Santayana, that’s something Brian Cashman should keep in mind as the Yankees’ offense continues to struggle. Ten years ago, in May 2005, the Yankees hit a rough stretch that saw the team fall five games under .500 early in the […]

Read’em and Weep: Baseball Cards Tell Story of Yankees Struggling Offense

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on September 1, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

The Yankees find themselves idle on Labor Day for the first time since 2005 and on only the second scheduled date in franchise history (1994 was victim to the strike, and rain postponed games in 1922, 1933, 1935). Considering how poorly this year’s offense has performed, the day off seems rather appropriate. Because of the team’s slumbering bats, […]

Playing Middle Has Become Road to Nowhere for Yankees

Posted in Baseball, Business and Finance, Hal Steinbrenner, MLB, Robinson Cano, Yankees on August 22, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

The 2014 Yankees have been one of the weakest teams in franchise history. Through 125 games, the Bronx Bombers have been outscored by 40 runs, the organization’s 11th lowest run differential over that span. Not only have the Yankees achieved mediocrity in terms of their record, but their aggregate performance suggests they have been very lucky to do so. In […]

Who Needs Cano? The Yankees, Don’t You Know

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Yankees on April 28, 2014 | 1 Comment »

Who needs Robinson Cano? Apparently not the Yankees, who, at 15-10, will welcome their former All Star second baseman back to the Bronx as co-owners of the best record in the American League. The team’s early success has allowed many to overlook the absence of Cano, but a more careful inspection suggests the Yankees still […]

Ellsbury Returns to Fenway, but Nation Less than Welcoming

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Red Sox, Robinson Cano, Yankee History, Yankees on April 23, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

Jacoby Ellsbury’s return to Fenway Park wasn’t exactly a hero’s reception. Although the Red Sox properly honored their former centerfielder with a video montage before the game, the fans weren’t as generous. Most favored status in Red Sox Nation can be fleeting, especially when you return in the road grays of New York, but the […]

Solarte Power Fueling the Yankees, but How Long Will It Last?

Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, MLB, Robinson Cano, Roster Analysis, Spring Training, Yankees on April 19, 2014 | 2 Comments »

The Yankees’ biggest challenge this offseason was replacing the lost production of third baseman Alex Rodriguez and second baseman Robison Cano. Compensating for both losses figured to take a team effort, but over the first three weeks of the season, one man, Yangervis Solarte, has provided all the answers. Solarte, a career minor leaguer who […]
