Let’s give a round of applause to ALFREDO ACEVES, who is now leading the pack (as of Monday @ 1:47PM) for the 2010 New York Yankees 5th starting pitching slot (ERA of 0.90 in 10 innings). Based on ERA and innings pitching, Aceves is 1st, Sergio Mitre is 2nd, Phil Hughes is 3rd, Chad...

I don’t have Spring Training fever yet even though we’ve been a week into it because the Yankees are the defending champions. This offseason was the shortest ever thanks to the late November games, and I wanted more time to bask in the glory of winning. The Yankees accomplished EVERYTHING last year- they ran away...

That’s like the Yankees getting back Jose Contreras, Kevin Brown, Jeff Weaver, or Kenny Rogers. Melky Cabrera for JAVIER VAZQUEZ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
