YANKEES RUMORS & GOSSIP
If healthy and not reeking of booze, Michael Pineda will make a great Yankee this summer in the Bronx
Consistently hitting 93 mph on the radar, New York Yankees flamethrower Michael Pineda tossed five innings on Thursday afternoon in an extended spring training start. Shelved since undergoing the knife last May to fix a torn anterior labral in his right shoulder, the 24-year-old Pineda reported no concerns and is expected to soon partake in a minor league rehab assignment. Acquired...
Cashman's prayers are answered: Seattle scorns Jesus, as Pineda resurrection looms
Well - as Steve Jobs said to Bill Gates - you never what to believe when you cut a deal with somebody from Seattle.All last year, the Jesus Montero trade - (I believe I called it "the debacle") - looked like a long range Yankee death and the reason to - as Hunter Thompson would say - stuff Brian Cashman into a bottle and put him out with the Japanese tide. Today, vindication...
A-Rod a budding real estate mogul?
Injured Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez already rakes in more dough than any player in baseball, earning $30 million a year for playing -- or, this year, not playing -- like a shell of his former self. And as it turns out, A-Rod also has a pretty good real estate racket going, too.
According to TMZ , the 37-year-old Rodriguez, who has been on the DL all season following January...

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter may not have taken the field yet along with his teammates as he continues his rehab following his ankle surgery earlier this year, but that does not mean he can gallivant about town without being recognized. That must be why Jeter opted to go with the alias of “Philip” [...]The post Derek Jeter utilizes ‘Phillip’ alias for coffee order...
INCOGNITO
Jeter uses 'Philip' alias for Starbucks order
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this "Philip" character looks familiar. According to the New York Post, Derek Jeter was spotted leaving a Greenwich Village Starbucks with the name "Philip" on the side. Which means one of three things...the New York Yankees captain is still using a pseudonym when in public (he used to go by "Johnny Drama"...

Derek Jeter uses phony name 'Philip' to get coffee at Starbucks
Being New York's most recognizable sports celebrity didn't stop Derek Jeter from trying the the old phony name ruse to pick up a cup of coffee at a Starbucks Wednesday afternoon.

Adams Has A Winning At Bat In A Losing Effort
On Wednesday night rotation stalwart Hiroki Kuroda had an injury shortened and ineffective outing, and rookie reliever Preston Claiborne finally showed some vulnerability as the Yankees fell to their A.L. East division rivals, the Baltimore Orioles. On a good note, however, David Adams, the rookie 3B, provided a spark of optimism. The Yankees had seven hits last night, half...

New York Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda left after two innings of work Wednesday night. Kuroda allowed five runs on eight hits, including two home runs.
Kuroda left the game with an injury. Announcers on ESPN have speculated that Kuroda has an injury to his back but it is worth nothing that he was hit in the calf by a comebacker in the second.
Entering Wednesday...
Looking To Kuroda Takes The Sting Out Of Last Night's Yankees Loss
Ah, what a comfort it is to know that, after a tough extra inning walk-off loss last night in Baltimore, the Yankees have their ace pitching in the rubber game tonight.But wait, you might be saying, CC Sabathia pitched in the first game of the series, right?Yes, but who said CC was the ace of the pitching staff? If you really think CC Sabathia is the Yankees ace, you've been...
Yankees: Do you think Vernon Wells is an All-Star because I certainly do
Plain and simple, the New York Yankees would not be boosting a 28-17 record.

Nor would the Bronx Bombers be sitting pretty atop in the AL East.
And you can bet they wouldn’t have the third best record in the Majors without one thing?
The outstanding play of Vernon Wells.
This by no means takes away from the overall chemistry this makeshift...
Preston Claiborne Continues to Impress with Yankees
In a season that can be labeled as a surprise for the New York Yankees, a season where they find themselves atop the AL East division standings nearly two months into the season, a part of that surprise is rookie reliever Preston Claiborne.
Since his call-up on May 5 to replace an injured Joba Chamberlain in the bullpen, Claiborne has pitched phenomenally for New York.
In six appearances...
The Yankees are about to become the most ungrateful team in sports, and I am now dreading the return of the superstar lineup
Damn. I feel like the cad who falls for his best friend's fiance, while the guy is off at the Star Fleet Academy. I keep telling myself, "No, this is NOT happening! I'll break it off! I'm am not falling for Brian's girl!" Then the girl - her name is Lyle - homers in the seventh, and you can't take your eyes off her, and later, you're together in...

New York Yankees 6–Baltimore Orioles 4
Where would we be without Travis Hafner and Vernon Wells?
Once again, it was the two off-season acquisitions who came up with the big hits, powering the Yanks to their 12th come-from-behind victory of the season. Down 4-3 in the 9th, Hafner blasted a game-tying, opposite-field shot to left field, providing...
What to Reid into the Yanks newest addition.
Yesterday the Yankees acquired versatile infielder Reid Brignac from the Colorado Rockies for cash. Yes, the Yankees have an obvious lack on infield depth with Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mark Texiera and Kevin Youkilis currently calling the disabled list their primary position.
Brignac is a career .228 hitter with a .294 OBP. In his six year career, he’s only amassed 769 career...
