About three years ago, just after winning the 2009 World Series, the Yankees traded Austin Jackson, an up and coming prospect in the team’s farm system, for Curtis Granderson, an established commodity in Detroit. The Yankees were trading potential for performance. Jackson wasn’t developing as quickly as a hitter as [...]
You may’ve read Thursday’s Midnight Tweets post by Steve that SI’s Jon Heyman said that Austin Jackson “looks like a budding superstar” and that he is “#betterthangranderson”. Yeah, not so much.
Let’s rewind a bit. Before the 2010 season, I was not in favor of trading for Curtis Granderson. I [...]
Fifth and penultimate post in the series.

In 2008 and 2009, the A.L. Central produced a one game playoff. 2010 saw a more uneventful finish to the season, as the Twins won the division easily, besting the White Sox by [...]
Much was made about Austin Jackson‘s rather obscenely high Major League-leading .396 Batting Average on Balls in Play throughout the 2010 season, and rightly so, as he posted a .395-plus BABIP in three of the season’s six months (including a jaw-dropping .530 in April, his debut month, and .432 mark in July). This [...]
During the next few weeks we’ll be running a series of individual season reviews for the members of the 2010 Yankees, somewhat similar to what I did with the season reviews last November only more comprehensive and probably more granular. Last year I did five group posts for the [...]
Joel Sherman chimes in with a good column on Curtis Granderson’s struggles:
Curtis Granderson hasn’t been very good this year. But he just might be the luckiest player in the majors.
If he were playing for the old owner in his prime or in the old stadium or for a team that did [...]
With the recent passing of the July 31st trade deadline, we have a new name to add to our bi-weekly updates. Mark Melancon reported to the Astros AAA Round Rock Express, where he earned his first save on Friday. He was also interviewed by Alyson Footer and had some interesting [...]
Time to dust this baby off after a few weeks and a long All Star break. In recent news, Mike Dunn was called up by the Braves. The 25 year old has been dominating for their AAA Gwinnett farm team. But of course, if you’re a regular TYU reader then you [...]
It’s been 2 weeks since my last update, so it’s time to take this baby out for another spin. At this point of the year (mid-season) most of the numbers are a big enough sample that we should have a good idea of where these guys are and what they’ll produce. Arodys [...]
I turned this one off in the 4th and hit the sack after Javier Vazquez gave up the lead as a result of yet another Adam LaRoche RBI base hit (speaking of which, I am totally on board with NoMaas’ plot to bring LaRoche to New York. [...]
