Offseason Preview: Yankees

Although they won close to 90 games this past season, the Yankees played a brand of baseball that was very different from years past. Because of the recent failure in the playoffs and the october-less season under Joe Girardi, many fans are calling for a big offseason. Although I agree on the fact that giving up young players for aging veterans is not always the way to go, the Yankees need to improve vastly to contend after moving across the street in the Bronx. This season marked an end to an era in the old Yankee Stadium and next year will be a new begining, with what I think will be, a new team. Here is the offseason that I propose for the Yankees. These moves will be very costly but will put the Yankees in great position going into next season.
C-Posada 1B-Giambi 2B-Cano SS-Jeter 3B-A-Rod RF-Nady CF-Cameron LF-Ramirez DH-Damon
I think the Yankees should bring in Mike Cameron because he is not too costly but efficient. Manny Ramirez has to be signed at any cost. He is a vveteran rigty hitter witha ton of power and the Yankees lacked that for most of 2008. People forget the offensive problems early in the season and the Yankees lacked offensive production throughout 2008. Manny Ramirez has to be part of this team even with his age and expensive price tag.
Rotation
1.Sabathia 2.Wang 3.Pettitte 4.Mussina/Perez 5.Hughes
I think the Yankees have ot bring in C.C Sabathia at any cost. After making a mistae on Johan Santana last season, the Yankees can not miss out on this opportunity to get a premire starter at the top of the rotation. Since the golden age of Roger Clemens at the top of the rotation, the Yankees have laced a premire starter. Sabathia is a can’t miss and the Yankees have to pursue him. Assuming Mussina retires I think the Yankees should consider bringing in Oliver Perez. He has experience in New York and if eh could become more consistent he will be a top 15 mlb pitcher. In my opinion Pettitte will come back for one more season in the new stadium.
Bullpen CL-Rivera SU-Chamberlain MR-Cordero MR-Bruney MR-Veras MR-Ramirez
I think the Yankees should bring in Chad Cordero as a middle reliever. He is available through free agency and has shown some sparks of greatness in Washington. He will not cost a lot of money and is not that great of a risk.

Yankees Win Thriller in Minesota

The Yankees pulled out a huge victory last night as they beat the Twins by a final score of 9-6 in the 12th inning. The Yankees had the lead in the late innings and Mike Mussina gave them another solid outing but Mariano Rivera blew his first save of the season, allowing a three-run home run to Delmon Young in the ninth. Alex Rodriguez gave the Yankees the lead with a solo shot to center field in the 12th. Xavier Nady added another bomb to help the Yankees win. Jose Veras was great out of the bullpen and the struggles appear to be over for him. The Yankees will play another game today as they take on the Twins in the rubber game at 1:05.

A-Rod watches his game-winning home run fly over the seat in center.

Other Notes:
-The Red Sox won a thrilling game at Fenway 19-16. The Red Sox were up 10-0 at the end of the first but came back late to win it. The Red Sox have a 5 game lead on the Yankees in the Wild Card but the Yankees did gain a game on the Rays who lost last night in Oakland.

Yankees Get Pudge

The Yankees have acquired 36 year old catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez in a two player deal with the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees traded RHP Kyle Farnsworth in exchange for Rodriguez who is hitting .295 with 5 home runs this season. Although this move weakens the Yankees strong bullpen, it gives them a bat at the catcher spot and a stacked lineup that will look like this:
DH Damon
SS Jeter
RF Abreu
3B A. Rodriguez
1B Giambi
2B Cano
LF Nady
C I. Rodriguez
CF M. Cabrera
The Yankees will likely call up Brian Bruney who was a surprisingly good performer early in the season before getting hurt. Bruney will help the bullpen as pitchers like Jose Veras and Edwar Ramirez will take on larger roles in Farnsworth's absence.

Great Day for the Yankees in Boston

The Yankees had one of their best days all season last night as they beat the Red Sox 1-0 behind Joba and made a huge trade with Pittsburgh. The Yankees won 1-0 last night at Fenway to take game one and go within tow games of the Red Sox in the wild card race. The Yankees rode the great pitching of Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera to go to a season high 12 games over .500. The Yankees also made a big trade last night with the Pirates to get LF Xavier Nady and LHP Damaso Marte in exchange for OF Jose Tabata, and right handers Dan Mccutchen, Ross Ohelndorf and Jeff Karstens. Tabata has great potential but he has struggled so far this season. The Yankees took care of their need in left field that was vacated by Matsui's injury and the Yankees bolstered their bullpen by getting Marte. The Yankees will play against the Red Sox on saturday a 3:55 on FOX with Andy Pettitte matching up against knuckleballer Tim Wakefield.

Yankees Win Their Sixth Game in a Row

The Yankees finished off their second straight sweep last night as they beat the Twins 5-1. The Yankees have had great pitching from their starters following the all-star break. Mike Mussina came up big for the Yanks last night as he pitched eight innings of scoreless baseball to get his major league high tieing 13th win. The Yankees will play again on Friday against the Red Sox as Joba Chamberlain goes against Josh Beckett.
