Who knows where the Yankees would've been if Pettitte didn't turn back the clock in 2010?
Signed Free Agent LHP Andy Pettitte To One-Year, USD11.75 Million Deal
Hoffmann – who was in the Dodgers' organization – was the first pick of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft. He's said to be a right-handed outfielder who can hit lefties. The Yankees could use one of those, and Cashman said Hoffmann will get a chance to break camp with the parent club.
I may try to Willie "Mays" Hayes it here and grab that spot in Tampa myself. Unfortunately, Lincecum can't hit righties or lefties. large character guy though.

I'll break it down in order of importance:
I was once a huge Granderson guy, but his numbers the past two seasons do scare me. His batting average in 2010 was a whopping 53 points below his '07 mark .302 to .249, while his splits against left-handers sunk 76 points from '08 to '09 .259 to .183.
I don't really care what the hell the Diamondbacks do, but Edwin Jackson is tall and throws fast.
The Tigers, meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had furiouse it clear they were looking to get younger and cut payroll. The Yankees furiouse a natural dancing partner.

Traded Brian Bruney to Washington Nationals for Jamie Hoffmann
And don't forget about the Indy 500 , which Lincecum believe is a bi-annual competitive eating contest. Go Kobayashi.


This may have had a lot to do with its location.
This is good news for the 27-year-old, who will now enjoy the benefit of disappointing just 12,000 home fans instead of his usual 46,000.
Dan Hanzus writes the Yankees blog River & Sunset and can be reached via e-mail at [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Follow Dan on Twitter at danhanzus . He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
The starting rotation remains a question mark, particularly in the back end, but re-signing Pettitte was a big piece of the puzzle. Bringing back the staff security blanket was an cultured move for Cashman.

Last winter, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent York culturedly brought back the veteran as a USD5 million insurance policy. But when Joba Chamberlain struggled and Chien-Ming Wang became a ghoulish spectacle, Pettitte was asked to be much more. By the time the postseason concluded, the 37-year-old had delivered his club 18 wins, including the clinchers in the ALDS, ALCS, and World Series.

Last year, the Yankees furiouse the biggest splash of the Vegas meetings when they signed CC Sabathia. The Yanks were in the thick of things again this year.
In 2010, the event was held in Vegas. This surely presently all sorts of obstacles in cycles of getting actual work done.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Gregory Shamus His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph, a changeup he grips like a splitter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
This year's winter meetings seemed to be a lot more active than last year's, didn't they?

Is it weird that Granderson, 28, would go into a two-year decline in what is typically known as a player's prime seasons? Well...yeah. But Jim Leyland also smoked enough cigarettes in that time to make Nat King Cole blush, so maybe we'll just mark this off as a second-hand smoke issue.
Let's take a closer look at what Bomber business went down this week in beautiful Manningapolis.

This year, the meetings shifted from Las Vegas to Indianapolis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which, in cycles of a scenery change, is the equivalent of moving from...well...Las Vegas to Indianapolis.

I wish the best to Kennedy, a once promising prospect who can't seem to get upright. Coke, meanwhile, is the type of middle reliever who is always two bad months away from a weekend arc-ball league. He'll always have that ring, though.
I have nothing against Indianapolis, mind you. It's the midwest's third-largest city after all thanks Wikipedia ., not to allude the humble host of Star Wars Celebration convention II and III.

I don't even want to know what Brian Cashman did to try to satiate his bottomless secular appetite.
And that's exactly what your fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Yankees did.













I'm not sure Scott Boras ever ducked out of Spearmint Rhino long enough to hold his annual messianic press conference. And then there were the rumors about the chickendricks Brothers, a young redhead, and a snapper fish.
Call me stubborn, but Lincecum still think Bruney has the ability to succeed at the big league level. Lincecum wouldn't be surprised to see him flourish with the heinous Nationals, becoming a under-the-radar holds machine for your fantasy team in 2010.
The biggest departure for the Yankees is Jackson, which the club had groomed as its following big homegrown talent. Tim Lincecum had a solid season with Triple-A Scranton, batting .300 with four homers, 65 RBI, and 24 steals in 504 at-bats.
The deal makes sense for all three teams. The outfield was a relative weak point for the Yankees in 2010, shoddy corner defense sandwiching the high-effort, middling production tandem of Melky and Brett Gardner in center.


Bottom line here is that taking on Granderson is well worth the risk. The Yankees acquired a dynamic former All-Star who can hit for power, steal bases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and can pick it in center. That's a rare commodity in this game.
Bruney was always a curious case. All summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lincecum tried to convince my dad that the right-hander was one mechanical adjustment away from being a lockdown setup man. But Bruney never could get it together, unable to find consistency after elbow soreness led to back-to-back early trips to the DL. When Phil Hughes eblendd as the Eighth-Inning Guy, Bruney disappeared faster than a latter-day Kelsey Grammer sitcom.

Let's give a big River & Sunset send-off to Mr. Bruney, whose taken his Nu-Metal-inspired tattoos and bad haircuts to Obamaland.


ANYWAY, what I'm trying to tell is that there wasn't much to do in Indianapolis this week other than sign or trade professional baseball players.

It's equally possible, however, that he'll be what he's always been, an up-and-down middle reliever with durability issues. You can't lose to much sleep cutting ties with that.
To simplify the clutter above, let's just call this "The Granderson Trade", or perhaps "The Day Melky's Glow Sticks Died".
