Yea your right. Google tells me our third base coach in 08 was Bobby Meacham.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

If i'm not mistaken he was fired after the season. :r

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees are still showing some interest in Freddy Garcia.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

He sure was :noon

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Looks like he is still the first base coach for the Astros.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Did we trade him for Berkman :sh
If so I'd call it an even deal ;)

Trivia

What was the given first name of Yankees pitching legend and four-time 20-game winner Lefty Gomez?

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Righty? :D

Looks like the Yanks are getting very close to signing Andruw Jones.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

I saw that. Of the options out there he is definately the best one. They need a right handed power hitter off the bench that can actually play defense.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

He's certainly an upgrade over Thames. At least Jones can still play the field. Thames did a nice job last year, but it was painful watching him play D when they needed him to.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yes it was. Jones can play all three outfield positions. He also had a nice season last year.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees signed Andruw Jones to be the 4th outfielder.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

The news about the Soriano signing not being Cashmans decision sure is stirring up a lot of talk. Is that really of a big deal, the Boss used to do that from time to time.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

It's the NY media trying to make a story out of BS. I like the signing since it helps close down the game even earlier and hopefully he likes NY he can stay after Rivera retires ir he ever does retire.

Condolences to Tony Pena and his family on the passing of Tony's mother Rosalia Padilla Pena at 79.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees signed Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal worth $900K. He did not pitch in the majors last year.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Ain't there enough Colons on the Yankees already? :r

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Not sure there is much left in him. He needs to drop weight too.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

All our pitching problems are solved :r:r:r

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

They are hitting up the rehab group lately. There is still talk about Pettitte. He has been working out at home to play this year. Yankees still have a $12M offer on the table.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

The Yankees signed Freddy Garcia to a minor league contract. If he makes the Yankees roster he will get $1.5M and with the incentives he can max out at $5.1M.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

We are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now!

Last I remembered, Garcia couldn't win a spot in the Mets rotation :td

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees acquired Justin Maxwell from the Nats for Adam Obychev, forget it i'm not even going to try to spell his last name. Not sure where J-Max fits, saw him play a little bit last year. Decent speed/defense, insurance I guess in the event that Jones gets hurt.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Garcia was very solid for the White Sox in 2010. If our bullpen was any help to him, he could have very easily won 17 or 18 games last year.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Garcia will have a good year, wait and see:2

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Damn, now I'm going to be following the Yanks just because I love Sweaty Freddy! :r

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

To make room for Maxwell.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

I got a fiver that says he doesn't make the team out of spring training :sh

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

NEW YORK -- A person familiar with the arrangements says Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte plans to announce his retirement Friday at a news conference at Yankee Stadium.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the news conference had not yet been announced.

Pettitte has been telling the team since the end of the season that it was likely he wouldn't play in 2011. He became a free agent and has not attempted to negotiate a contract.

His intention to retire first was reported by YES Network's Michael Kay.

The 38-year-old left-hander is 240-138 with a 3.88 ERA n 16 major-league seasons. He excelled in the postseason, setting a major league record for wins by going 19-10 with a 3.83 ERA.

Pettitte's departure leaving a huge hole in the Yankees' rotation, with no proven starters behind CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnett.

:noon

AJ better learn how to pitch again....

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

He couldn't e as bad as he was last year. And that Ian Nova isn't bad, we rrally just need a fifth starter.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Do you think Whitey Ford has signed with anyone yet?

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

:r We just signed two over the hill pitchers, maybe giving them some 80+ year old competition would step up their game :tu

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

The Yanks are a old and tired team,your out of it before the season even starts :r

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Justin Maxwell pick-up is a plus for the Yankees. I would have been really happy if the Mets had grabbed him.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

It's going to be a long season.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

The Yankees signed Eric Chavez & Ronnie Belliard to minor league deals with spring training invites.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Bad news for the Yankees in future negotiations with Robinson Cano. He has just joined the Scott BorASS club. :td

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

I wonder how they fit into the plans for 2011? Belliard sucks and Chavez has been nothing but hurt lately.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

I think they are just stocking and see how things go during spring training.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Spring training is in full force in Tampa with games starting soon. Yankees new startign catcher Martin has not healed completely from his off-season knee surgery and will not be ready for the start of spring games. The Yankees released left-handed pitcher Andy Sisco today. Yankees signed Cuban shortstop Yadil Mujica.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees & Phillies are playing today at 1pm on the YES Network.

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

I watched it. They lost but it sure is nice to have baseball back :)

Re: New York Yankees 2011
 

Yankees split the home/home series with the Phillies. Nova looked good today.
