Jameson Taillon’s new delivery should keep him on the field
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports A shorter arm path and more action in the legs will take stress off a battle-damaged elbow. Joints are funny things, one of nature’s little jokes. Our knees support virtually our entire weight, and yet there are so many ways they can fall apart. You probably never even think about your hips until you’re either breaking in new jeans, or you strain one. Then, all of a sudden, every movement hurts. And of course there’s the elbow, whose fragility torments pitchers at every level of baseball. Even medical advancements like Tommy John...

Yankees 2, Pirates 3: Jameson bleeping Taillon
Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports The Yankee righty looked great in his second outing of the spring, and I’m slowly going all-in on him. The Yankees dropped their seven-inning contest with the Pirates 3-2 Saturday afternoon, but there were a range of positives concerning the possible No. 2 in the rotation, and the race for the last bench spot stayed hot. I am starting to giggle when I think about Jameson Taillon. I’ll have quite a bit more on his mechanical changes tomorrow, but Taillon, through three innings this spring, looks legitimate. He struck out the first...

New York Yankees @ Pittsburgh Pirates: Taillon’s revenge
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports After a winter trade, Jameson gets his first start-ish, against his former club The two things I was looking forward to this spring were previews of new Yankees Jameson Taillon and Corey Kluber. Both got their first work in earlier this week, and today, Taillon will get his first real start as a Yankee, working an exhibition match against his former club. You’ll remember Jameson threw seven pitches on Monday, including a strikeout on a great curveball down out of the zone. Hopefully, we’ll see more than those seven pitches today, and...

PSA Podcast Ep. 118: Gardy Returns, Exhibitions Begin
Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via The PSA Podcast catches up on some hot Grapefruit League action. Now that the Grapefruit League has begun, there is actually some vaguely real Yankees baseball to watch! Fully aware of the goofiness of the extremely small number of games, we talk about what we’ve liked so far from Gary Sánchez and Jameson Taillon, why Tom was correct on Gerrit Cole working with Sánchez, Clarke Schmidt’s elbow strain, and hit-by-pitch maverick Derek Dietrich popping up as a non-roster invitee. Brett Gardner also re-signed in the time since...

New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Gerrit Cole’s first spring start
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports A pair of former Pirates are slated to throw against the Tigers After yesterday’s exhibition opener, the pinstripes are put away until Opening Day, but the Yankees are still the home team Monday afternoon, taking on the Detroit Tigers at George Steinbrenner Field in another pre-arranged seven inning game. I’m looking forward to this game more than the one yesterday purely because of the guys scheduled to pitch. Gerrit Cole gets his first work in of the spring, and following him, manager Aaron Boone has tapped new Yankee Jameson Taillon....

New York Yankees: Is Jameson Taillon next to realize potential?

How the Yankees’ rotation compares to the rest of the American League contenders
Photo by Christian Petersen/ There is a very competent rotation in the Bronx right now. Is it the best in the junior circuit? The Yankees lost three-fifths of their rotation when free agency started, and they didn’t retain any of them: J.A. Happ went to the Minnesota Twins, Masahiro Tanaka flew back to Japan, and James Paxton ended up joining the Seattle Mariners. Yet, in a short period of time, general manager Brian Cashman managed to put together one of the most interesting rotations in the American League by adding Corey Kluber via free agency and Jameson Taillon...
