Brian Cashman Finds Hitting Coach Kevin Long’s Comment About Mark Teixeira’s Wrist ‘Alarming’

Three Thoughts on One Vernon Wells
It could have worked out so perfectly. The Yankees’ acquisition of Vernon Wells appeared to be unwise at the time, but they’d be looking to him as a backup, who needed only to fake it as a starter while Curtis Granderson was hurt. Pretty bad gamble, sure, but we’re given only one reality, and when Granderson debuted on May 14, Wells had an .875 OPS. It was up in four-digit...

Yankees’ Jayson Nix succeeding in a thankless situation
Jayson Nix, the do-it-all infielder for the New York Yankees, is in an unenviable position. He has been charged with filling in for the injured Derek Jeter, a task as impossible as…taking the place of Dumbledore at Hogwarts.
