Tonight
LHP Andy Pettitte (7-1, 2.47)
vs.
RHP Brett Myers (4-3, 3.01)
7:05 p.m., YES Network
Saturday
RHP Javier Vazquez (5-5, 5.63)
vs.
LHP Wandy Rodriguez (3-8, 4.95)

Sunday
RHP Phil Hughes (8-1, 2.71)
vs.
RHP Brian Moehler (0-2, 6.12)

In his career, Andy Pettitte has faced every team but two: The Yankees and the Astros. Tonight he’ll cut that list to one, and that’s probably where it will stay.

I’m glad they finally have a longer homestand this time-it still kind of seems like they’re always on the road. LOL

Pretty cool.

my lesson for today : )
Betsy, use whatever word you like, but it boils down to this: every day you are on this blog worrying about some aspect of Phil Hughes.
It’s like you are convinced he’s going to fail or be mediocre and everyone on here shows you evidence why that’s a poor conclusion so every day you come in here with a new concern. It’s getting really REALLY old.
win, win, double win.
How about 7 or 8 wins out of 9 this home stand?
Of the 3 teams, the Mets look to be playing the best. Let’s hope the Phillies don’t snap out of their funk!
I’m looking at either A-rod to DH or Cano to be the cleanup hitter.
So have that in mind folks for GTLU~
EricStangel If John Sterling called the World Cup, you’d hear a lot of this , “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Nope, saved by the goalkeeper”
shame – he just missed completing that list, he was on the bench when they threw that 6 man no hitter against us.
pat – GOOOOOOOooooooAH it’s out on the sidelines…

They can snap out of their funk after Thursday.
Although I must admit for selfish purposes the one game I really, really want the Yankees to win in that series is on Wednesday. I’m counting on the Yankees winning being their birthday present to me.
i’m more excited about US vs England and Aus vs Germany this weekend than I am about the astros. oooooosa ooooooooooooosa!
Buster Olney twitter, says the split between Ozzie and Ken Williams is so bad, that it almost came
to blows last Tues. Could you imagine Cashman and Joe coming to blows, evah?
Youkliss left the game in the 7th inning because of back spasms, and Pedroia is nursing a knee injury. If they lose them their season is in peril.

Irreverent – Didn’t know that, thanks for the info!
Discourse, r u sure about that?
Should be interesting to see how much World Cup talk goes on here at LoHud.. seems like it might be the perfect cure for the over analyzing that goes on around here. I realize thats what the blog is for, so I’m not knocking anyone, but having something else to focus on all the way through the All-Star break can’t hurt, right?
I would put my money on Girardi
The dude is in shape

“as i believe a Girardi vs Cashman bout, would be over very fast”
Same here.
the mlb network has been advertising a show about the white sox…not sure what to think about that!
Damon
not to mention Ellsbury had a set back
When Girardi gets ticked off and yells at an umpire / thrown out of the game he’s legit pretty scary. He has like zero body fat and he’s pretty ripped.
Although the braces kind of ruins the effect..
Yeah Joe would drop Cashman like a bad habit!
I see that people are back to calling for Colin Curtis again. In the 10 games that he’s been back, he’ hitting .140. He also hasn’t hit for power all year. He had 6 doubles before getting hurt. NYY would be better off using Huffman or Winfree, though Huffman is the better outfielder and can play a solid 1st base. Another name that’s been floated was Corona. Corona isn’t even as good of a hitter as Pena is. I’d suggest Nunez, but, he’s terrible on defense at 3rd and 2nd. His play at shortstop has been nearly exceptional this year. There is no 3rd baseman at Scranton to cover Rodriguez if needed. Cusick and Robby Hammock are the only other 3rd base types in Scranton. Hammock plays 6 positions including catcher.
Upstate
I mentioned Jacoby last night on another thread.
GI Joe does look to be in real good shape but his face is showing the stress he has been under the last 3 years as Yankee manager. He’s only like 44, right?
Patrick -
So funny! Yes, the braces definitely “tame” him some.
Well if the Yankees for some reason don’t make the playoffs, and this is Joe’s contract year. If he gets the boot, Joe might show Cashman the floor over the Winn, Thames, Johnson, and Gaudin signings!!
In his career, Andy Pettitte has faced every team but two: The Yankees and the Astros. Tonight he’ll cut that list to one, and that’s probably where it will stay.
, and thats all I really have to say about that.
_________________________________________________________________________
Andy, Javy and Phil vs. the astros should make for a fun weekend. No mercy, I hope we crush them.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am concerned about A-Rod and that nagging groin injury.
We don’t need to see him on the DL for 15 days. I don’t even want to imagine that.
Hopefully getting the entire weekend off + the scheduled Monday day off will be more than enough to rest the groin and remove all the stiffness.
pat June 11th, 2010 at 11:16 am
LOL! Perhaps it would be more like this:
It is low, it is hard, Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll!! The Yanks winnnnnnnnnnnn!! Oh, are they disallowing the goal? We don’t have the best seat to see that corner of the goal from here. Perhaps its time for the 7 minute stretch!
I don’t think you’ll see Alex in the lineup today or tomorrow. Pena plays 3b today against the righty and Russo tomorrow against the lefty. My guess is that the next time we see ARod will be at DH when Georgie gets behind the plate Sunday or Monday…
Why are the Cardinals the only team not playing interleague today?
“Why are the Cardinals the only team not playing interleague today”
16 NL teams and 14 AL Teams
I was wondering if the Yankees might actually be interested in making a trade with the Mariners for Jack Wilson (SS) as a utility guy. He makes $5M and is in his last year contractually. (Note Josh Wilson has looked very good in Jack’s absent 15 day DL.)
Another thought is Ichiro. Could he & his $18M be tradeable too? What are the chances of Lee, Wilson & Ichiro all being moved to the Yanks? Any ideas?
Actually I think Jack Wilson could be a great fit to replace Pena.
RayVT
Seattle won’t trade Ichiro. he is their remaining ‘franchise’ player.
Lee to the yanks is a possibility, not Wilson though. Maybe to another team, for sure.

?Why are the Cardinals the only team not playing interleague today?

*********
Guess the other team not playing in interleague!
Ichiro has a no trade and Seattle would revolt if he got traded.
I also don’t think the Yankees are interested in taking on that kind of money since they have a RF having a better year than Ichiro making less than half his money.
5 million a year is a lot for a bench player, which takes Wilson out of play.
Ray:
Jack Wilson might now be a worse hitter than Pena. Not sure he gives anything Pena doesn’t give you now.
As for Ichiro, he’s signed thru 2012 at $17M per. Yankees don’t really need him and at his age with his contract, I kind of doubt they want him.
“Another thought is Ichiro. Could he & his $18M be tradeable too?”
————————————————————
there would be no place to play Ichiro.
although Granderson and Ichiro had been my fave non-NYY players the past 4-5 years

BryanHoch This doesn’t seem good. 12 minutes outside Philadelphia and the train has lost all power. Sitting here dead on the tracks. ~
BryanHoch Apparently complaining on Twitter helps fix train engines. Thanks everyone! Rolling again. ~
Pat those beat writers leave crazy late from games, it is a fun and rewarding job.
But requires alot of dedication and patience
Thanks Everyone! I remember Jack Wilson from a few years ago and was thinking he could still hit. I haven’t seen much of him last couple years. I believe Ichiro’s contract is up this year and that is why I asked? I understand he is face of team though. I was thinking if he were with the Yanks, then a rotation for DH could keep folks fresh. A lot of money though!
I heard Mariners were scouting the Yanks on news night before last & just wondered who could be in play besides Lee.
Billy D June 11th, 2010 at 11:59 am
I guess I read the salary page wrong as I thought it said Ichiro was signed til 2010 @ $18M/yr
Erin-
You beat me to the follow- up.
SJ44,
I am going to sound like Chip for a minute here but what are your thoughts on David Dejesus?
He’s a very good fielder, having a nice year at the plate and for 5 mill he’s a not all that expensive. My only issue is, will he get enough playing time and how much would Cashman have to give up for him?
It’d give Girardi a ton of flexibility to do what he wants and it’d really strengthen the bench. Only downside is Dejesus is a left handed hitter.
But could you imagine the lineup?
Jeter SS
Dejesus RF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Cano 2B
Posada C
Granderson CF
Swisher DH
Gardner LF

Philly is where they change the way the train is powered. From electric to steam to diesel to gas (or whatever). I’ve waited in upwards of 45 minutes to an hour waiting for the switch to be made. Hope Bryan brought a good book to read.

Ichiro, Granderson, Swisher would be a rather lovely outfield.
But that makes GGBG a bench player and I feel he is better than that. And where would you bat Ichiro? In the 9th spot??? LOL

Re: trades….
Best thing to do is think small to big rather than big to small.
What I mean by that is, it’s doubtful they will do a big deal for a big player because they don’t have that kind of a glaring need.
It’s more about adding a bench piece, a bullpen arm, etc. Smaller pieces to plug holes.
Also, those deals cost less prospect-wise, which is key right now.
No sense draining better assets to plug small holes on the team.
Jack Wilson has been out for more than a month with hamstring issues and just started rehab assignment..
Although he can’t play shortstop, he does play, 1st, 2nd and 3rd base and he can hit, Seattle may be interested in moving Jose Lopez.
Patrick June 11th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I don’t think DeJesus is an option. KC needs him and where is he going to play. If he were a switchhitter or RH bat, maybe.
GreenBeret7 June 11th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Jack Wilson is 3-8 in AAA. Due to move up soon.
someone emailed me this Yogi Berra story, some of you would feel much better if you remembered it the next time a Yankees pitcher has a bad first inning, like AJ did last night:
It’s the World Series and Whitey is pitching. Unlike him on the big stage the first pitch he throws he gives up a single. On the first pitch to the next batter he gives up a single!
Stengel calls time out and as he is walking to the mound he signals to Berra to walk with him. He asks Berra ” what do you think Whitey has tonight”?
Yogi said he turned to Stengel and says ” How the hell should I know, I haven’t caught a pitch yet”?
Patrick,
I like DeJesus. Here is the issue…..
You can make the argument Swisher has been the best RF in the AL this year. I wouldn’t want to mess with him and make him the DH.
Also, DeJesus can’t play RF. He’s strictly a LF.
If they could get him and DH him, and he can handle being a DH rather than an everyday OF, that would interest me.
A Nova-Adams offer for DeJesus could tempt the Royals.

LOL. I love Yogi
DeJesus and Putz please!
Patrick, that’s a great lineup with DeJesus in RF, Swisher at DH and Posada catching.
MG-that’s hilarious
I love Yogi
Lee is not being traded to the yankees. the rotation is one place we dont need another player.
And i think dejesus played right field yesterday or sometime this past week no?
Erica in NY June 11th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
LOL! Ichiro would bat 1st. Jeter 2nd. Swish would move to DH & play corner OF to spell guys. Gardner would probably rest & a RH bat would DH against most LHP.
But this isn’t going to happen. I misread that Ochiro was a FA after 2010 & I was wrong.
I don’t think DeJesus is an option. KC needs him and where is he going to play. If he were a switchhitter or RH bat, maybe.
—
Why does KC need him? He’s a FA next year and KC is going nowhere.
And SJ44, Dejesus has played 2 innings in LF this year, the rest has been in RF.
LOL! Ichiro
Although SJ44, I do agree that I’d be very hesitant to move Swish off of RF.
Actually DeJesus has a club option for 2011.
Ichiro has a no trade clause but its public knowledge his choices were NY and Seattle last time he was considering an extension.
“Why does KC need him?”
——————————–
patrick: because a team has to score at least 1-2 runs, per game
“Why does KC need him? He’s a FA next year and KC is going nowhere.”
Plus their OF will be getting crowded as Ankiel is due back fairly soon and Alex Gordon may be coming back up as an outfielder.
I think it’s a near certainty that DeJesus is moved.
That’s right. DeJesus is a RF this year. He’s a defensive upgrade over Swisher. I don’t have any problem with Swisher being the DH. He has DH’d plenty in his career. Switch hitter. Perfect DH.
I like SJ’s proposal of Nova + Adams but I think KC really wants a shortstop so maybe Ramiro Pena or Eduardo Nunez would interest them.
McAllister + Nunez might work.
Actually DeJesus has a club option for 2011.
—
Yes with a 0.5 m buyout. And the Royals aren’t going to compete in 2011 either so they really don’t need him.
DeJesus has a 6 million dollar club option for 2011. The Royals will NOT be picking up the option. Greinke’s salary doubles next year and their struggling with ticket sales in the down economy. DeJesus can play all 3 OF positions in a pinch and he’s a solid bat in the middle of his prime. He’s 30.
Problem is, he’s not a good RF.
The other problem about moving Swisher out of RF is, Nick is a hype guy.
Those guys usually don’t end up as good DH’s.
If they got him and used him as the DH and rotate him around in the OF for defensive purposes, that’s a possibility.
But, I don’t believe Swisher has done anything wrong to warrant losing his job to David DeJesus….or anybody else for that matter, this year.
Actually I’m not totally sold on Ichiro. He is a great hitter, SB threat & plays gold glove defense with a great arm, but one never knows how things could work out.
I was just trying to see if Seattle is a viable trade partner, who would be available. Milton Bradley (NO), Cliff Lee, Jack Wilson, or Ichiro are all high dollar guys which are usually pushed by teams out of the race or rebuilding.
Nick is a **hyper** guy. Sorry for the typo.
I wouldn’t trade Nunez for DeJesus.
If you have a SS prospect as good as Nunez, you trade him for a better player than David DeJesus or you hold onto him.
Pena? They have Betancourt so, I don’t see that as a possibility. But, if Dayton Moore would take him, I’d have no problem dealing him.
Then DH DeJesus and move DeJesus to LF or RF late in games.
Having a DH who can play all 3 OF spots eliminates the need for Russo. If Nick Johnson comes back, he’d take Russo’s spot as a pinch hitter. If a Gardner, Granderson or Swisher goes down, DeJesus can take one of those spots.
KC really needs a shortstop. They might insist on Nunez as part of the deal for DeJesus. Nunez is not really needed on the Yankees for anything more than a trade chip.
Today’s Guess The Line Up is Now Open For Business
I will accept lineups until 3:00 – ish.
Good luck.
I saw last night that Swisher was being blamed for that play in right field. Could he have caught the ball? Sure, if he could jump, but, he has no ability to jump at all. The ball kept drifting on him, much like the home run to Moore. Give Baltimore credit in that they were able to get the ball in the air in that direction. NYYs failed to take advantage of that 15-18 MPH wind blowing out to right field.
The one thing we have seen with the Yankees the past few years is, they aren’t giving up high end prospects for non-high end players.
Curtis Granderson is a high end player. That’s why you trade a Austin Jackson for him.
Javy Vazquez finished 4th in the Cy Young voting last year. That makes him a high end player. That’s why you trade Arodys Vizcaino for him.
Last year the Mariners wanted Austin Jackson for Jarrod Washburn. Washburn is not a high end player and the Yankees turned it down.
My point is, guys like Montero, Nunez, Romine are high end prospects, given their talents and the position they play.
That means, you have to get something of greater value in return if you decide to deal them.
David DeJesus is a nice, complimentary piece as a player. He’s not a standout in any one thing. Just a nice player who, if the deal is right, could help the Yankees.
That takes the price to get him down a few pegs from the Yankees perspective, IMO.
“Nunez is not really needed on the Yankees for anything more than a trade chip”
—————————————————————
he is Derek Jeter insurance, tho
The rotation is fine and the bullpen is OK too. The only pitcher I see being replaced at this point is Gaudan.
The bench will get another player as soon as Posada can get behind the plate. I guess if the Yankees don’t make a trade soon Miranda makes the most sence to bring up.
Pena is on the team for his glove and that glove is staying.
Thames is a RH pinch hitter or DH and is fine in that roll; just don’t play him in the OF.
Russo has not hit much lately and a 4th OF with a better bat may be coming if he doesn’t start to hit again.
When is Nick Johnson supposed to be able to play again? Late July?
Nunez is the only shortstop bridge from Jeter to the new wave of recent draftees. Makes zero sense to trade him for an outfield rental who’s only real skill is getting some hits, but, even at that, he’s a career .288 hitter with little speed and little power.
“When is Nick Johnson supposed to be able to play again? Late July?”
————————————————————————–
sometime between August and never.
Injured or Not, Arod’s numbers are down-ESPN
A-Rod’s numbers, early exit troubling
Slugger invokes name of hip surgeon after leaving game early with right groin ‘cramp
It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out that the numbers are down and the production is off. But it may take a surgeon to figure out why.
All season long, Rodriguez and Yankees manager Joe Girardi have swatted away questions regarding A-Rod’s obvious power shortage this season with a lot of seam-head talk about run production and the lack of importance of A-Rod’s hallmark stat, the home run.
A-Rod (pictured Wednesday) never even swings a bat Thursday — leaving his status up in the air.
But the truth is, hitting home runs is why Alex Rodriguez is here in the first place. It is why the Texas Rangers saw fit to give him a 10-year, $252 million contract in 2001, and why the Yankees chose to extend him for another seven years — at a salary bump to $275 million, no less — following his 2007 MVP season.
Nobody pays $33 million a year for a moderately powered .290 hitter, not even the Yankees, and yet that is what Alex Rodriguez has become this year.
The $275 million question is why?
http://sports.espn.go.com/newy.....id=5274460
starting this homestand 3-0 is what we are doing. No more giving away games to crappy teams !
When is Nick Johnson supposed to be able to play again? Late July?
———————————————————————————————————————-
yeah, that’s about right. July 2011.
Offensively, what the Yanks need is a right hand hitting outfielder who can play LF against lefties, hit OK with some power and fill in at DH some once Jorge goes back to catching.
Those kind of guys ought to grow on trees, but I can’t identify one we are likely to get on any team which would be likely to trade him to us right now.
Houston has one of the worst offenses in the Majors. last in BA.237, 29th with just 36 homers, 28 th in RBIs, and, 27th in hits. Yankees should be able to get this done!!
frankly, don’t know why the Yankees need to add any offense
SJ,
Do you think Nunez really belongs in the same category of other high end prospects like Austin Jackson, Arodys Vizcaino, Jesus Montero and Austin Romine?
I don’t think he does.
If the Royals insist on Eduardo Nunez, you’d pass on a chance to bolster the team with DeJesus? This team has zero OF depth and Pena backing up Jeter. As you stated, they may pass on Crawford and focus on Lee.
DeJesus makes even more sense if that’s their plan.
The three worst teams the Yankees have played this year are Baltimore, Chicago and Cleveland. They are 15-3 against those teams.
The three worst teams the Red Sox have played this year are Baltimore, Cleveland and KC. They are 10-10 against those teams.
I don’t think “giving games away” to bad teams has been a problem. They aren’t going to go undefeated against bad teams. No team is in MLB.
Wave,
Why fixate on the lefty, righty thing. DeJesus is an excellent baserunner, high contact, high OBP guy. He’s the perfect number 2 hitter.
vinny b – didnt you hear? we’re a terrible baseball team.
Wave:
How about Austin Kearns?
Tough to predict the lineup with Alex….idk if he will DH or be out…I’ll guess hes out…
GTLU:
Jeter- SS
Swisher- RF
Tex- 1B
Cano- 2B
Posada- Dh
Cervelli- C
Granderson- CF
Russo- LF
Pena- 3B
“If the Royals insist on Eduardo Nunez, you’d pass on a chance to bolster the team with DeJesus?”
—————————————————————–
Chip, is this you?
no offense intended Bret, but aside from being from Rutgers, what the hell is so attractive about David DeJesus ?
DeJesus played almost all the games in 2009 in left field with 13 assists, no errors. I don’t see him as a DH oe a utility player, even though the Royals hold a club option on him for 2011 at 6 million, if I recall correctly.
I’d like some thoughts on Tex from the left side, batting against the shift. Can he ever lay down a bunt? Would he be more useful batting from the right side, away from Yankee Stadium, against a righty?
SS Jeter
RF Swisher
1B Teixeira
2B Cano
DH Posada
CF Granderson
C Cervelli
LF Russo
3B Pena
Thanks
bret,
There aren’t a lot of good SS prospects in AAA around MLB right now. Nunez is near the top of that list. That makes him a valuable commodity.
Look at it another way….Jason Donald was used as a chip by the Phillies to get Cliff Lee.
Donald was considered a top SS prospect.
Nunez has more upside than Donald.
That’s why he will have more value than just bringing in DeJesus, IMO.
If you are looking for a RH bat, I’m sure Austin Kearns will be on the market and he certainly could fill a role on the bench. He wouldn’t extract a high prospect cost.
Eduardo Nunez for JOAKIM SORIA
Brett
Had Selena’s book come out when Alex opted , out or before, he wouldn’t most likely have been
paid so lavishly.
Neither David Dejesus nor Austin Kearns have the power I’d like to see, and ideally I’d like a bit better fielder than Kearns. Also, I think DeJesus is likely to cost more talent in a trade than the Yanks would be willing to accept.
Kearns, Branyan might soon be available.
Where is Jonny Gomes when you need him instead of Thames???? I remember the contraversy on this blog when his name was mentioned as a possibility for left field/DH.

My suggestion would be try to trade for switch-hitting, catcher, outfielder Ryan Doumit, and hasten SJ44′s nephew to the big leagues!!!!
Question for the board….
Has anybody sat in the Jim Beam Suite section of the Stadium? I never have and a friend asked me how the experience/sightlines were.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

************************
Seconded!!!
At the very least, DeJesus is a 2 hitter who can fit in as a DH while rotating in the OF.
At the very most DeJesus could take over LF with GG defense if Gardner suffers a market correction.
Even in the worst case scenario, DeJesus is quite valuable.
edit: correction not market correction.
I’m thinking about my stock.
SJ-
I sat there once last year.The jimBeam suite itself is a waste of time IMHO.It is basically a place to go if it is hot no seats and you watch the game on TV.The seats themselves were not bad at all right behind home plate and you could see pretty much everything.They were high up but other than that good.
I love Doumit. He’d be pricey though.
Thanks Gayle.
