In April 2009, when Robinson Cano hit .366/.400/.581, I developed a theory about his plate discipline. Even though his IsoD was a paltry .034, I believed that Cano was swinging at better pitches. My theory was that Robbie is so good at bringing the bat to the ball that increased plate discipline wouldn’t [...]
After going 2-5 in the nightcap of yesterday’s 1.5 game header against the Twins, Mark Teixeira is now batting .210/.322/.370 on the season. Comparisons to last year’s pace, and the slow start that came with it, are no longer valid. After 46 games last season Tex was earning his paycheck, hitting [...]
RAB took a look at Alex Rodriguez’s contact rate last week, and though Alex has started to pick some of his numbers up during the last few games — his slash line has improved over the past four games from .253/.345/.414 to .286/.381/.464 — and his solo job vs. [...]

Earlier this week, Fangraphs added John Dewan’s +/- defensive stats to their player pages, a major addition that gives users the two most widely accepted defensive measures (UZR and +/-) in one place. +/- is on a similar “runs saved” scale to UZR, so the two numbers [...]
Following up on our initial Fun With Small Sample Sizes post, here’s a look at the individual wOBAs for the Yankees’ offense after six games:
Scary to think of the damage this team will inflict once the top of the order starts kicking it into gear. Nick [...]
After three games, here are the individual wOBAs for the Yankees’ offense:
Impressive work from the bottom half of the lineup so far.
Derek Jeter’s UZR at shortstop last season was 6.6 runs above average. Nick Swisher’s UZR in right field last season was -0.7 runs below average. Johnny Damon’s UZR in left field last season was -9.2 runs below average. From my own experiences, many baseball fans often toss around FanGraphs’ Ultimate Zone Ratings [...]
The Yankee blogosphere has been buzzing lately with the news that Curtis Granderson has agreed to move to left field if the club asks him to. This is a move that we have discussed extensively here at TYU, with most of the writers advocating the club putting the better defender, Gardner, in center field. I [...]
And thankfully, it’s to our collective benefit. For you see, as if routinely spilling thousands of words educating us in on the intricacies of advanced statistics, discovering that Derek Jeter has more power to right than the best player in baseball and the most comprehensive analysis of [...]
With the announcement coming down just last night that Fangraphs has added splits to their stat pages, I thought it would be fun to look at interesting 2009 splits for each likely member of the 2010 Yankees. I looked at hitters this morning, and will now address starting pitchers, with relievers to follow at some point [...]
