In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, former Yankee Melky Cabrera has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for synthetic testosterone. The implications are disastrous for the Giants, who are currently a game behind the Dodgers in the NL West race, and a half game [...]
With A Drop In Arm Angle, Hughes Throwing A Sinking Four-Seam
By Michael Eder On August 15, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
It’s no secret that Yankee Stadium is a known for it’s small dimensions, it’s shallow right field porch, and its gritting relationship with right handed fly ball pitchers. Phil Hughes knows, and his career 12.3% HR/FB in Yankee Stadium contrasts with a 7.1% on the road. It wasn’t too long ago that [...]
Yesterday, Orioles’ top position prospect Manny Machado received a surprise call up to the major leagues. The shortstop was drafted third overall in 2010, and ranked 14th and 11th on Baseball America’s top 100 list over the last two years. For as much praise as he’s seen, Machado only recently put [...]
Cashman Turns Water Into Wine With McGehee
By Michael Eder On August 2, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, Player Analysis, Positive Storylines
Tuesday, Brian Cashman turned Chad Qualls into Casey McGehee and $250,000. It was a win-win for both teams, with the Yankees dumping a struggling relief pitcher, and the Pirates dumping their struggling corner infielder. In 2012, McGehee has slumped to a .230/.297/.377 triple slash, which is actually slightly better than his 2011 numbers. This 29 [...]
Lessons To Learn From Burnett’s Success
By Michael Eder On July 26, 2012 · 19 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
A.J. Burnett may not be a Yankee, but analyzing his post-Yankee days may tell us how other team’s approached the problem child. The starting pitcher has been wildly successful this season, posting a 3.59 ERA, a 3.50 FIP, a 7.44 K/9, and 2.84 BB/9. Most of the media’s analysis has ended at the [...]
After being hit by a hard Felix Hernandez changeup, Alex Rodriguez hit the ground, and subsequently hit the disabled list. The initial prognosis is a nondisplaced fifth metacarpal fracture. It means the bone is broken, but remained in the proper position. It also means, Rodriguez will likely be out for 6-8 [...]

Or perhaps the more appropriate question to ask would be, IS there a plan for David Phelps? Despite performing admirably as both a starter and reliever for the Yankees this year, Phelps has been unable to nail [...]
“I choose my days to give Russell off. A lot of days, I’ll catch Stew against left handers as well, in a sense. Yeah, he’s caught him three or four starts, but I’m not saying it’s going to be that way the whole year. Everyone is going to want to make something of it right [...]
The Yankees top prospect, Manny Banuelos, saw mixed results in the early months of this season. The left handed pitcher emerged out of the early spring throwing an improved curveball and a new cutter to compliment his already plus fastball and changeup. For the 21 year old pitcher entering the 2012 season in [...]
