Yankee Panky: Spring Flinging

Bronx Banter — A month into spring training has yielded little in terms of newsworthy occurrences in Yankee camp. The team announced it would not discuss or negotiate contract extensions for Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, or manager Joe Girardi until after the season, which is consistent with recent club policy. Nick Johnson missed time with back stiffness (uh-oh), but [...]

A Tiger in new (pin)stripes

Detroit Free Press — LAKELAND, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter weren't on the Yankees' traveling squad Wednesday for Curtis Granderson's first game against the Tigers.

Remembering the Next Generation

River Ave. Blues — Nomar Garciaparra officially announced his retirement yesterday, although it caught no one off guard considering the non-exist market for older players. It seems like just yesterday that Nomar, along with Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, had effectively taken the shortstop torch from Cal Ripken Jr. and Barry Larkin, and represented the new wave of offensive [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogRemembering the Next Generation

2010 Season Preview: Can Jeter keep it up?

River Ave. Blues — It’s really not as easy as Derek Jeter makes it look. Last season, the Yankees became the first team in baseball history to win the World Series with a 35-year-old shortstop, though you wouldn’t have been able to tell Jeter was that old by his .344-.432-.563 postseason batting line. The Captain has spoiled us for [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blog2010 Season Preview: Can Jeter keep it up?

Open Thread: Best Buds

River Ave. Blues — Apparently Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are buddies again. Sure, they had a fine working relationship before, smiling on the field and being amiable towards each other off it, but deep down the Captain always held a bit of a grudge ever since A-Rod trashed him in Esquire nearly a decade ago. Well, apparently it’s [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogOpen Thread: Best Buds

We’re two starts into the fifth-starter competition, and even though Aceves and Mitre have pitched shutout ball, Gaudin and Phil Hughes have pitched okay at best and Joba Chamberlain has been awful, it seems that there is no frontrunner yet. “I don’t think anyone has pulled ahead,” pitching coach Dave Eiland said. “Ace has thrown the ball extremely well, but as of ri...
