What we learned about Ivan Nova in two starts

River Ave. Blues — As baseball fanatics we’re an excitable bunch, but nothing quite piques that excitement like a rookie who helps the team right away. That can be a hyped prospect like Joba Chamberlain in 2007, but it doesn’t have to be. Ivan Nova has demonstrated that in the past few weeks.

Yankees rookie Nova shuts down White Sox

New York Post — CHICAGO -- Two starts are a very small sample to judge what Ivan Nova can mean to the Yankees during the most important part of the year. But ask yourself this: What if Nova pitches like Joba Chamberlain did when he surfaced from the minor leagues four seasons ago? Nobody...

  • Stats: Jeter not a 'winning' player Yankees Blog | ESPN New York There are a lot of things that Derek Jeter could be labeled during his career--99.999 percent of them are of a positive nature, and rightfully so. This could be the first season in which you could attach the term "Losing Offensive Player" to his name. Let me explain what that means. In the early 1980s, sabermetrician Bill James devised a statistic, Runs Created, to measure the offensive value of a player. It looks at a what a player did at bat and on the bases in relation to the number of outs he made Add up the Runs Created for all the players on a given team and you should get the team&r...
