Curtis Granderson

Baseball is definitely a game of strategies, and most of the time, the team with the better strategy wins the game. When I say strategy I don’t mean just bunting, ordering a hit and run, squeeze play, etc. The strategy begins with assembling the team. If you don’t put a good team on the field [...]

I know that trash-talking is part of baseball, and I’m sure that’s why Jose Valverde said after yesterday’s game that “it’s over for the Yankees,” (via Buster Olney of ESPN) but I think that it’s far from over. The Yankees lost yesterday with the tying run on first and Cano (the guy who batted in [...]

I hope you all enjoyed your first day of the baseball season.  Here’s a quick story of how mine went. Today, I got to the office earlier than usual (only 2 hours late actually), with a big smile on my face and ready for baseball. As soon as I got there, I found myself swamped with [...]

The Yankees are looking to add some outfield depth, and Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated says that they might consider Andruw Jones or Johnny Damon. Last week we learned that the Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees were interested in Damon. Although, Buster Olney of ESPN.com believes that Damon is not a good [...]

In early November the Yankees said that they weren’t going to make a hard charge for outfielder free agent Carl Crawford. The speedy left handed hitter is expected to fetch an annual salary around $17 million per season. Brett Gardner’s breakout year, Nick Swisher’s solid season and the late-season emergence of Curtis Granderson have the Yankees [...]

After failing to make it to the World Series, the Yankees are ready to step into the off season with their mind on prize free agent Cliff Lee. The Yankees are in need of another ace to pair with C.C. Sabathia atop the rotation, and Lee appears to be the best choice. It has been rumored [...]

The Yankees will probably knock on Carl Crawford’s door as soon as the season ends to offer him a chance of wearing pinstripes for the 2011 season.

Long-time friend of Jayson Werth, Kevin Cash of the Red Sox, gave the soon-to-be-free-agent outfielder a vote-of-confidence that he would fit in city of Boston. “Oh, I think he’d fit in fine here,” Cash said. “Philly’s definitely not a picnic to play in.
