(Hey, all you people that tryin’ to sleep, I’m out to make it with my Midnight Tweets, yeah..)

Another take on Will Leitch’s Brian Cashman profile in New York Magazine

By Larry Koestler On March 10, 2011 · 18 Comments · In General Musings

Matt I. addressed this topic in an excellent post on Monday, but I didn’t get around to reading Will Leitch’s profile on Brian Cashman in this week’s New York Magazine until now, and wanted to offer my own two cents, being that I’ve written more words this winter on Brian Cashman than [...]

Visiting with the Baseball Fairy

By Sean P. On March 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In General Musings, Prospects

 

About a week ago I was watching some meaningless inning of a spring training game, I think Melky Mesa was in the process of striking out, and I thought wouldn’t it be great if he could hit? Of course it would. Plenty of prospects miss the map entirely because they have [...]

Ranked 2nd Best Yankee Prospect

 

By this point in Spring Training, I can’t imagine that any attentive Yankee fans don’t know a lot about Manuel Banuelos. He is about to turn 20 years old. He’s a 5’10″ left-handed starting pitcher who [...]

EduardOF and the Bench

By Matt Imbrogno On March 10, 2011 · 6 Comments · In General Musings

Yesterday afternoon, we learned that the Yankees were going to try Eduardo Nunez in the outfield. The game wasn’t on TV so I obviously didn’t catch how he looked, but I can’t blame the Yankees for trying. Nunez can play a decent enough shortstop so we can reasonably infer that he could at [...]

The success and failure of A.J. Burnett’s repertoire on a month-by-month basis

By Larry Koestler On March 10, 2011 · 8 Comments · In Statistical Analysis

After reading Moshe’s post analyzing Ken Rosenthal’s piece comparing to the other day, I was inspired to take a deeper look at some of A.J.’s PitchFX data to see if there were any observations that might portend a better 2011 for Burnett. While every projection system [...]

Was Brien Taylor really a “can’t miss” prospect?

By Steve S. On March 10, 2011 · 13 Comments · In History, Prospects

Brien Taylor was a highly touted pitcher whose name most Yankee fans will know by the tragic story of the way his career was derailed.
