When news of Rafael Soriano’s signing filtered onto Twitter on the evening of January 13th, many Yankees fans were aghast at the length of the deal and the fact that the club had sacrificed a draft pick to obtain an 8th inning man. A number of those fans used their platforms as bloggers to criticize [...]
Though nothing official has happened outside of the Rafael Soriano signing, there has been a flurry of Yankee-related information and rumors in the aftermath of the Soriano presser, so here’s a quick rundown:

With the acquisition of Rafael Soriano, David Robertson and Joba Chamberlain will likely see their roles in the Yankee bullpen reduced in 2011.

This segment will not be entirely incorrect in subscribing to this line of thinking. Missing out on Cliff Lee was huge and the signing of Rafael Soriano is far from great. Though it would, [...]
After Brian Cashman’s contract ran out following the 2005 season, disgusted with the fractured and factioned way in which the Yankees baseball operations had been run, he insisted on complete autonomy regarding all personnel decisions were he to come back, and ultimately received it.
Or so we’ve all been [...]
The Yankees’ signing of Rafael Soriano has met with some criticism, and rightfully so. The size of the deal and loss of a draft pick seem to outweigh his value as a set-up man, and his injury history adds a large dollop of risk to the equation. However, I have seen some doubts as to [...]
PLEASE NOTE: Even though it carries my byline, this piece is from Matt, who was able to jot some thoughts down while traveling but couldn’t log on and asked me to post this for him. Thanks.
