This news from the AP via ESPN. Joe Girardi states that, “The earliest we would need him in the outfield would be interleague, and that’s a ways off,” Girardi said Wednesday. “That’s why we envision him as our everyday DH. We need him. He’s a great RBI guy. He’s very important to our lineup.”

A few recent events have me thinking about last year’s trade in which the Yankees sent phenom Jose Tabata along with Ross Ohlendorf, Jeff Karstens, and Dan McCutcheon to the Pirates for Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte. Firstly, Bill Madden mentioned the deal in an article on Marte and Phil Coke:

RLYW continued their series on projections by looking at Mark Teixeira. While they found that he should have an excellent season at the plate, the defensive numbers on Tex were a bit surprising to me. They show that Mark is at best a slightly above average defensive first baseman:

In today’s Post, I wrote that several Yankee officials confirmed to me that if Mariano Rivera were to go down for an extended period then Joba Chamberlain most likely would be made the closer. I continue to believe this is the most likely way Chamberlain ends up back [...]
In an article that suggests the Yankees would use Joba Chamberlain to close if Mariano Rivera was unable to pitch (can they ever just leave this issue alone?), Joel Sherman has some telling quotes from Brian Bruney:
That is unless Bruney makes people forget about Chamberlain in the eighth inning, thus earning the right [...]
As I noted earlier this week, the AL East has become a division dominated by pitching. Dugout Central took a look at the projections for the rotations of the three contenders in the division, and reached an unsurprising conclusion:
Team Projection IP HR BB SO [...]

-Sir Sidney Ponson signed with the KC Royals.
-Chris Britton isn’t going to make the Padre’s 25 man roster.
-Randy Johnson (who’s 45) speculates on pitching until he’s 50.
-Ivan Rodriguez’s deal is done, 1.5 mil [...]
