There was some discussion in March that the Yankees might hold off on putting Michael Pineda in the major league rotation immediately. By optioning the right handed pitcher down for the first month, they’d prevent him from adding up the necessary service time to earn Super Two status. The idea was absurd at [...]
Nick Swisher‘s future in pinstripes looks like it has come to a bitter end. Bitter, not because his play was underwhelming, but because consecutive postseason slumps caught up to him at the worst possible time. This offseason will be Swisher’s first time entering free agency, and entering his next season at 32 years [...]
Let’s get this offseason started with some good old fashioned speculation. No, I don’t think Alex Rodriguez is leaving New York, and no, I don’t particularly think Curtis Granderson should be traded either, but there is still reason to believe the Yankees will be active in the trade market.
Throughout this offseason, [...]

The biggest non-Mark Teixeira piece of news to come out of Yankeeland yesterday was Joe’s pregame announcement that it would be David Phelps, and not Ivan Nova, who would be taking the ball for [...]
Remember when Hughes was having an ugly season? Well he’s posted a 3.46 ERA (153.1 IP) since losing the cutter, a 3.17 ERA (96.2 IP) since lowering his arm slot, and a 2.84 ERA (25.1 IP) since adding the slider.
Phil Hughes is showing why he’s a great pitcher. He was once a [...]

The news of the Washington Nationals’ decision to shut down Stephen Strasburg for the season caused major waves in the baseball world this past weekend, and with good reason. It’s not every day that a team [...]
Analyzing The Grandy-Slump
By Michael Eder On September 7, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
Curtis Granderson sucks lately. I don’t believe I’ve ever described a player that way before, at least in writing. Especially a Yankee player. When it boils down to it, the centerfielder was supposed to carry this team. After all, the Grandyman can. Yet since June 1st, he’s hit just .214/.300/.430. Matt I. broke [...]
Hughes Is Burntout
By Michael Eder On September 5, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
With a 161.2 IP this year, Hughes is on the brink of surpassing twice the innings he threw last season. A little less than two weeks ago, I wrote about how Hughes’ velocity trends. Examining his longterm PITCHf/x numbers this season, he’s shown a constant loss of spin rotation and velocity on his fastball.
How To Pitch Against Yankee Lefties
By Michael Eder On September 4, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
The Yankee lineup is a dangerous offense for a right handed pitcher in the small dimensions of Yankee Stadium, at least it used to be. Here, you can watch how batting coach Kevin Long trains his lefties to hit balls thrown on the inside part of the plate. The net drill, as he calls [...]
Declining Trends In Hughes’ Fastball Show He May Be Overworked
By Michael Eder On August 24, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, Andy Pettitte, Ivan Nova, Mariano Rivera, Dellin Betances, and Manny Banuelos are all on the disabled list. While Hiroki Kuroda has stepped up in a huge way, Phil Hughes’ rebound season has been just as important. Since mechanical and repertoire adjustments began on May 6th, the 26 year old is pitching [...]
