The last in my series looking at the seasons the top three pitchers for the Yankees put together. I’m not doing Joba or the miscellaneous riff-raff (plus Phil “God Please Shave That Thing Off” Hughes) because frankly it’s not worth the time. I may revisit Joba before the inning limiting kicked in, however. AJ is [...]

Looking at Andy Pettitte’s Season In Graphical Form
Consider this part 2 in a 3 part series. After AJ’s last start in September (tomorrow) I’ll be doing one of these for him as well. I’m leaving out Joba Chamberlain because of the oddities caused by his innings limits and the mish-mosh of fifth starters isn’t really worth looking at unless you are into [...]
Looking at CC Sabathia's Season In Graphical Form
I realize CC Sabathia has another turn in the rotation before the ALDS starts (which makes sense–you want to keep him sharp, afterall) but now that he’s pitched his final game in September, it’s a good time to take a look at his season as a whole. If you go by ERA, CC had two [...]
Life, The Rotation, And Everything
The All-Star break is usually denoted as the halfway point of the season, and so what better time to look at how the rotation is doing. You’ll notice there are only four starters, and that is because at the minute the Yankees only have four starters. Chien-Ming Wang is injured and presumed dead, Alfredo Aceves [...]
He Just Wins Games (Except When He Doesn't)
Let’s take a look at Andy Pettitte’s numbers in a few ways. I am doing this up because recently I whined about how not very good Andy has looked lately and the refutation was starts, innings, runs. So here we go. First, results only. Because as we all know, results are what are most important. [...]
Look for a Phantom Injury To Occur
Well, I was honestly mystified by the decision to bring up from AAA Anthony Claggett of all people. He is honestly, not very good, as I assume anyone who watched the game noticed. Anyway, for the third straight game Chien-Ming Wang was awful. He looked pretty good in the first, not great, but okay. Then [...]
Feeling Out The 2009 Rotation
Although it’s not set in stone as the fifth starter is to be determined, enough is in place that we can start to check out what the 2009 rotation is going to look like. I don’t really believe in assigning numbers as an indicator of quality, especially given what the Yankees are going to have [...]
The End of the Line
From my two favorite baseball writers in New York, the dream team combination of George King III and Joel Sherman: Instead, the Yankee GM departed Las Vegas early yesterday morning to fly to Texas for a sit-down with Andy Pettitte Andy Pettitte – a story The Post broke exclusively yesterday on nypost.com. Cashman was expected [...]
What Is This Team Doing?
The Yankees intend to offer arbitration to their own free agent, Bobby Abreu, by tonight’s midnight deadline, and the Mets likely will do the same with their own free agent, Oliver Perez. The rest of the local teams’ free agents, including big names Andy Pettitte and Pedro Martinez, probably will not be extended that courtesy, [...]
Another Andy Update
Looks like the multi-year contract want thing has been blown out of proportion (surprise!), and from what is being reported after actually speaking to the relevant parties Andy is just waiting to hear back from the team. From Ed Price: Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters at the GM meetings this week that “Andy [...]
