Yankees may no longer have a rotation spot for Kennedy
2008-06-10 15:11:00 Nearly two weeks after Ian Kennedy was put on the disabled list, the New York Yankees' rotation may no longer have a spot for him. Darrell Rasner has been the team's most consistent young pitcher, and Joba Chamberlain, while far from stellar in his tentative first steps as a starter, has not pitched badly. In his nine games this season, Kennedy posted a 7.41 earned run average and an 0-3 record, a far cry from the performances last season that earned him a spot in this year's rotation."I try not to think about it," said Kennedy, who was 1-0 with a 1.89 E.R.A. in three starts last season. "All I can do is get healthy, and whatever happens happens. Otherwise it'll drive you crazy."Kennedy has a strained right latissimus muscle and bursitis under the shoulder blade. He threw 30 pitches — mostly fastballs and changeups — in a bullpen session Monday and reported that he did not experience any pain.

So we would just like to focus on the American League East, because really what other league is there. Gay Pride of The Yankees When Metro Sexual becomes more than just fashion. The shocking tale of New York Yankee's shortstop Derek Jeter, and what kind of all-star he is off the field.Derek Jeter has been linked to some very beautiful women. It's like he picks them off the front covers of people and other straight magazines. But the fact is that since Derek Jeter's rookie year the Yankee's have never been able to keep a bat boy longer than a month. " Derek just has a very different idea of what a "Yank" is." Said former team mate Wade Boggs. Apparently the situation is getting worse. "It's like a guy just can't get in the shower around here without Derek, j...

The Yankees And Brian Fuentes
2008-06-02 10:33:00 Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post advises: Keep an eye on the Yankees' interest in Brian Fuentes, whom they have liked for years. New York needs a reliable late-inning setup man to replace Joba Chamberlain, who joins the rotation Tuesday. Keep in mind that Renck is not saying discussions have occurred recently. But Fuentes would certainly be a nice addition for the Yanks. He has a 2.78 ERA and 2.63 K/BB in 22.2 innings this year. Surely the Rockies are looking for a young player or two in return. The trades of Octavio Dotel and Eric Gagne last year might be comparables. Dotel required Kyle Davies, a promising pitcher who had not experienced much big league success. The Gagne package was headed by raw prospect Engel Beltre, and also included useful MLB-ready pieces in Kason Gabbard and David Murphy. Also keep in mind that if the price for Fuentes is too high, Brian Cashman can turn to familiar target Damaso Marte of the Pirates.

NY Yankees On "Cruise Control" In Minnesota
2008-05-30 20:00:00 05/31/08 POINTSHAVERS.COM - The NY Yankees should breeze through nine innings tonight against the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees are sending their ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-2 W-L, 3.82 ERA) to the mound to face struggling Twins pitcher Boof Bonser (2-6 W-L, 6.16 ERA).In his short pitching career Bonser has struggled mightily against the Yankees. Bonser is 0-2 with a 9.31 ERA against the Yankees in two starts. In those two games, the Twins were outscored 12-2. On the other hand, Wang is 2-0 lifetime against the Twins with a 1.71 ERA.There is some chatter going around in the Twins clubhouse that suggests that Bonser may be on his way out of the starting rotation after getting DESTROYED by the Detroit Tigers. Bonser gave up a career high 9 runs and 7 hits in a 19-3 loss to Detroit last week.Here at PointShavers.com, we have information that leads us to believe that Bonser is getting set-up for the fall today. The Twins want him out of the starting lineup and tonight's game is a perfect ...
