From The Associated Press down in Tampa…
TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter has worked out on a baseball field for the first time since breaking his left ankle last October.
The 38-year-old New York Yankees captain fielder 55 grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt at shortstop Monday at the team’s minor league complex. He also hit in a batting cage.
“Everything went well,” Jeter says.
The 13-time All-Star expects to start in New York’s opener against Boston on April 1. This is the time of year Jeter usually starts his onfield pre-spring training routine.
Jeter broke the ankle lunging for a grounder in the AL championship series opener against Detroit on Oct. 13. He had surgery a week later, and the Yankees said recovery time would be four to five months.
Jeter has been walking on an underwater treadmill at the team’s facility since early January.
Go Jeet!
For all you Michael Kay fans out there lol
AndrewMarchand YES announced @RealMichaelKay has signed a new deal.

“Agree Chad. We can talk a blue streak about it voicing our POV’s on both sides in an endless parade
of ideas but what you said above is the bottom line.
Time will tell the tale.”
mtu-
not really because whatever happens just gets spun.
look at hughes, chamberlain, and kennedy in 2007. they were supposed to be the proof that the yankees were strong on development.
um, that didn’t really work out.
or did it.it ‘s still being debated, so time doesn’t necessarily tell the tale.
i said in 2007 cashman had no clue with young pitchers. nothing has made me change that opinion.
but today, someone will come on and say he does. so how does time tell the tale?
what happened to the killer B’s?
where’s pineda?
time will tell.
i’m not so sure.
Anyone who thinks that it’s a good idea to have Kay be the voice of your team is a fool.

While there is no difference between race or nationality when it comes to performance-based descriptions, effort-based and character-based descriptions make a big difference. Players born in the US or Canada are 10 percent more likely to be praised for their effort. White players are 10 percent more likely to be praised for their character.
Indeed, it is not so much that announcers are unwilling to praise non-white players, but the terminology they use in so doing falls into a set of pre-defined “code words.” For example, if a player is described as being a “guy next door,” or “regular guy” there is a greater than 80 percent chance that player is white. If a player is described as “impatient” or “over-aggressive,” there is a greater than 50 percent chance that player is not white. This echoes the findings of similar research in the field of print sports journalism.

Yes, we’re all just making this up for fun..

This was not, and is not being disputed. Again, you are missing the point. No one said racism does not exist nor that it should never be talked about.

I like Kay. Think he’s improved alot over the years and delivers a very good broadcast.
“I like Kay. Think he’s improved alot over the years and delivers a very good broadcast.”
Good, I think he is officious, obnoxious, and ignorant about baseball.
I hate K…think a team like the Yanks can do much better.
At least Sterling is sort of funny in a campy kind of way.
Can’t trust a man who only eats 1 food.

———————-
Maybe I’ve just misinterpreted every single thing you’ve posted then, because I thought this whole time your exact point was that you felt you were being made to walk on eggshells if you mentioned you think a non-white player (specifically Cano) is lazy…
Isn’t Kay an admitted Anti-Condimite?
Randy-
It depends on the who and the timeframe.
Certain isues seemed settled by time for me ( like Joba). Others remain an open question (Hughes, Pineda).
In my statement I was referring to the current crop in the Minors.
Guys like Heathcott, Williams, etc.
Hope that helps clarify what I meant.
By the way, my heart would not be broken if we had an entirely different set of people running the Yankees. Especially if the above mentioned youngsters bust out.
My current operating hypothesis is that Hal is preparing to sell. That’s OK with me too.
Nick,
I’m an admitted Anti-Vegemite.
You’re catching hell because you’re acting as though you’re being attacked when you aren’t. Not even a little bit. Not once!!
At no point were you ever accused, charged with or implied to be a racist. But don’t let that stop you from continuing to act as though you have.
///
I find this rich.
This guy goes berserk that an observation has been made about latino players being singled out as “lazy”.
Protests in plaintive cries that he’s been wrongly accused of being a racist.
He then confesses he just wants racism not brought up.
Then folks here run to try and calm him down that no one called him a racist.
Meanwhile, I share an experience I had in an elevator, in which a middle-aged flabby blowhard cut into a private conversation taking place between three businesswomen he clearly did not know, other than to pass by them in an office complex we all shared, and proceeded to strut about how “lucky” he was to be in the company of such attractive women.
I communicated my observation that this kind of thing is supposed to be acceptable, but that it is actually sexist as hell, and the same hysterical voice in here who has been flagellating himself against several threads now as having been wronged by the “lazy” discussion he insinuated himself into- one that didn’t even seem to directly involve him – and this same guy jumps on my long and thoughtful post about my elevator encounter and comes away with the accusation that:
I’m actually the one who’s being sexist by feigning concern about the social discourse that I believe enslaves women, and that what’s coming from me is actually a phony chivalry that I’m using in the hopes of “getting” myself “laid.”
So, let’s do this again: Jacksquat is being wronged as a racist, which no one accused him of being, but I was actually called a sexist by Jacksquat, who said I am just looking to get laid through my “feminist” commentary.
O.K.
Got it.
After listening to other broadcast guys it’s hard to complain about Kay. Yes, he’s a schil, but the other guys are worse and they schil for crappier teams!!
“After listening to other broadcast guys it’s hard to complain about Kay. Yes, he’s a schil, but the other guys are worse and they schil for crappier teams!!”
Gary Cohen is much better than Kay.
Kay strikes me as the kind of guy in high school who unknowingly patted you on your back when you had a sunburn.
Yea Shame,
Kay sucks sometimes but in the grand scheme of TV crews he is top tier. I wish the Yankees had gotten Scully
On the other hand, Sterling is awful at actually doing his job of describing the action on the field.
mtu-
i’m kind of making the point that everything seems to get spun now. not just in baseball. the very same issues talked about on different news shows has their newspeople saying the exact opposite is happening when they are looking at the same set of facts.
to me, when cashman mishandled wang’s hip, he absolutely should have been fired. not so said cashman supporters, wang’s shoulder was a ticking time bomb.
spin is the name of the game.
Kay is good at his job. He’s not the most likable guy ever, but he calls the game well and with excitement, he’s a Yankees fan but he’s still fairly “balanced” while announcing, and creates interesting conversation.
Believe me, listen to some of the other broadcasts out there and you’ll realize the art going on at YES.
The guys at NESN are just mouth pieces for the franchise. They rarely, if ever, have sincere conversation about the team. It’s all this BS happy-go-lucky, having a great time at the ballpark stuff, and it’s not compelling to listen to.
Time will tell about our current group of prospects, but I agree with Randy that the last group did not develop as hoped and that makes me question their methodlogy and capabilities.
We sure can and will hope the new group will turn out and that they will get better developmental health.
I agree with Chip that I am sick of AAA being held down by old, washed up or never quite made it players. Terrific they won the regular season, but the point of the system is development.
OK. Gotcha Randy.
I wasn’t too happy about the way CMW was handled either. You can be sure of that.
And I think Cashman definitely has to take his share of the blame for that one.
I don’t agree that he should be held blameless. I wouldn’t agree with that POV.
I know you’ve wanted him gone longer than just about anyone around here.
I was much slower to come around.
I would not miss him if he were gone at this point.
I think there are better alternatives out there.
And “spin”, yeah it’s everywhere.
On the other hand, Sterling is awful at actually doing his job of describing the action on the field.
—————
Meanwhile, Kay spends way too much time describing things that the audience has seen for themselves. Maybe they should switch jobs.
There are definitely people out there better than Kay.. but he’s not as terrible as the majority of announcers. I always felt he was better on ESPN radio then in the YES booth.
@Ken_Rosenthal
#Padres have also talked multi-year with Headley, but deal unlikely. Headley asked for $10.3M in arbitration. Club offered $7.075M.
Kay’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.
That is a big split! They can give him to us if they don’t want to pay the bill
@Ken_Rosenthal: #Padres have also talked multi-year with Headley, but deal unlikely. Headley asked for $10.3M in arbitration. Club offered $7.075M.
Then they should trade him to the Yankees
Blake-
Where are we gonna get the money ?
Even being charitable, Kay is a reflection of the Yankees’ current state: mediocre hires rock!
Thank you guys for saying exactly what I was going to say lol…
How ironic, btw, that we might be able to afford Headley at a lower AAV than what Youk currently costs…….

The money bin…Headley is cheap for his production….7.5 fWAR last year
JAP, stick to your posts about how trading Montero has ruined the Yankees, as your hyperbole about me is even more inaccurate.
austinmac-
hughes kind if developed, but the problem is if he completes the development with a great 2013, he’s going to be too expensive to keep.
so if the yankees knew in 2007 this was going to happen, they should have kept him in the minros for at least one more year and maybe two.
then we’d have a 27 and 28 year old hughes in the last two years of his contract.
i think the yankees mistakenly assumed there would be no doubt they could sign hughes when his free agency came up.
so that was a botched development plan right there.
that’s a dumb and dumber kind of move .
and if they didn’t know the new CBA was coming, they botched that.
so they messed up.
fire someone .
move on
Injecting Montero into an unrelated debate? Come one, you can do better, jack!!!
Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing for Sterling to be on TV describing something inaccurately while the viewer can see what’s really happening?
Blake-
So was JU. For his overall potential (8 Mil AAV for 189 purposes).
How’d that work out ?
Just forget it. We have Youkilis.
And we have Alex.
Them’s our guys.
“Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing for Sterling to be on TV describing something inaccurately while the viewer can see what’s really happening?”
Not if it’s properly viewed for what it is: entertainment. Sterling is more like poetry than prose.

With all the times you throw your two cents here and there, I figured you was leaving a trail for him to follow to the pot of gold.

i started to think maybe he could stay and slide sideways in the organization, but now i want total ejection and removal.
if only montero could make the all star team this july with all that playing time he’s supposed to be getting now that he’s been given the starting catching position in seattle.
that would really accelerate cashman’s departure

———–
You took the words right out of my mouth. He also can’t stop talking.
The only thing worse than having Kay as the voice of your franchise is having Hawk Harrelson as the voice of your franchise.
Randy-
He’s gonna get his shot. I always though he was at least a BUC.
Here’s what I’ll tell ya’. IMO if the Yankees flounder this season there will be wholesale changes to the Yankees mgmnt next season. Cashman, Girardi, etc.
Maybe Hal will pull the plug on himself too.
I know it’s a little late for you but FWYS better late than never.
GF-
Kay is worse HH at least knows something.
MTU
Things are going pretty good. Couple of life’s challenges being presented at the moment, but it’ll work out over time as always. I’ve been trying to catch up on the goings on at lohud, but the darn work schedule has been getting in the way, but for now am at the present.
Yes, read about GB, very unfortunate hope it was quick and painless.
Missed ya too, hope the mops are behaving themselves and not trying to pick up “killer’s” slack. You been doing ok? Read about a loss you had recently also.
So… now that the Brewers know they probably can’t extend him… what does Headley cost?
A top prospects, an MLBer, + two mid-level prospects?
KPB-
Yes. Better thanks. Chaos has been brought back under temporary control.
As far as GB that’s all one could hope for in this Life. I sincerely hope that was the case.
Mops are as adorable as ever. They are here with me as we speak. As I watch their slumber I am reminded of purity of Angels.
I hope the Photo still gives you peace in your slumber, and thanks for the cards. Really wasn’t necessary.
Always good to see a friend.
Youks never really made more than $12MM a season. It’s crazy. Yanks are so desperate to stay under the cap in 2014 that they’ll overpay on a 1 year deal for a chubby, aging, broken-down former Sox player that’s coming off the worst season of his career.
Nice !!!!

——–
I think you’re screwed either way – like choosing between a firing squad or beheading.
Those “Hawk-isms” are truly annoying and Kay’s “See ya’s and LLLLLLet’s do it’s” during the first pitch are just as annoying.
Kay tends to ruin big moments in games and/or career milestones (see the replay of Jeter’s 3000th hit on Yankees Classics) with his BS instead of letting those moments manifest on their own.
I guess Kay probably bothers me more simply because I’m forced to listen to him 120+ games a season but only forced to listen to Hawk 6-9 times a year when the Yanks play the ChiSox (since I live in the Chicago TV market and YES games are blacked out).
“Not if it’s properly viewed for what it is: entertainment. Sterling is more like poetry than prose.”
There might be more than one way to properly look at it. Anyway, they’re not switching jobs. I rarely listen to the radio broadcasts, so I get Sterling’d infrequently and can laugh at it when it happens and enjoy the shtick as a novelty. Kay doesn’t annoy me as much as he does others, but he sometimes grates.
Good watch for any fans of Japanese baseball or bat flips in general.
———–
Cool video. It’s almost like they were flipping chopsticks!
Comparing Kay and Hawk is apples and oranges.
Kay is about himself, anything that draws it is just fine.
Whether it’s his food fetishes or juvenile descriptions or copied catch phrases, it is about his master plan to become an icon, which he never will.
Hawk, otoh is an outright homer. It’s about his team , not him…

In my ideal world of sports consumptioni, they would both be doing something else.

If they dump Cashman and JG maybe they can go for the Trifecta and give Kay his walking papers too.

So many players have bat flips, why single out the Japanese?

Whatever. I wish him well. I just hope he’s the tough out he always was when he was with Boston.

Progress is progress.
Have to be very careful with big Michael.
In this case slow is probably better.
$1 in 2014??!
I’d pay him $2 to stay away from our club.

“I spent a lot of time running and working on my techniques about running,” he said. “That’s what I did. I ran a lot and I learned how to run. Because last year … you know I’m slow, but I want to run a little better and gain a little more speed and all that. So that’s what I did, just run.”
Montero said he worked with a running specialist from Venezuela, as well as an instructor the Mariners sent to help him after observing his upright, awkward style in his first year in Seattle.
So does he feel faster now?
“I feel good,” Montero said with a smile. “I’m learning how to run a little more beautiful, a little better, you know?”
The Mariners don’t expect miracles there, but they would like to see a little better speed and running form from a youngster who figures to bolster the middle of their lineup for years to come.
They’d also like to see continued development behind the plate, where Montero made solid strides last year, but still has much room to grow. Manager Eric Wedge spent several days with Montero last week, talking about catching and what will be expected this year.
:::
Any thoughts of Montero transitioning to more of a first-base role went out the window with the acquisition of Kendrys Morales — as well as Michael Morse and Raul Ibanez — to push Justin Smoak. The team is flush with first-base prospects, but thin behind the plate.
So Wedge made Montero’s task crystal clear heading into camp, which opens with pitchers and catchers reporting on Feb. 12 in Peoria, Ariz.
“He told me to just be ready,” Montero said. “Be ready for Spring Training, Be ready for the season. He told me I’m going to catch a lot this year, so just be prepared. They’ve given me a lot of confidence. I still have to work hard and do my job. But it’s been good. I feel real happy to be here again. I can’t wait for the season to start.”
Wedge, a former catcher, knows Montero needs work to be the full-time backstop. But the manager doesn’t buy into the notion that Montero isn’t cut out for the position. He’s said from the start that it’s just going to take time, as with any youngster behind the plate.
“It’s more on the mental than the physical side of things,” Wedge said. “I don’t have any doubt he can handle it from a talent perspective, that he can handle the role fundamentally. But being so young and inexperienced, the mental grind, we ask a great deal of our catchers here. And then the physical grind that goes along with it, that’s pretty real.

Yes. Something like that. I prefer to remain optimistic for now even though the odds are stacked against longterm.
Maybe, just maybe, if we’re really lucky we’ll get the Sanchez outcome.

Cannot play good defense. And last year he started to struggle more against LHP: .260 .312 .433 .745.
Blah.
There are 4 teams that completely blend together for me: Brewers, Padres, Astros and Royals.
I mix up their players all the time… none are in the same remote area, none have the same colors, they’re not even all in one league….. I dunno what it is.
I picture them all in middle America (literally, I picture them all playing in like Kansas and Missouri) just hanging out pretending to play baseball.

OK. Here’s today fan poll question:
Who IYO will be the biggest Yankee’s positive surprise this season ?
Can be a ML or MiLB player. Please state your reason(s).
High reward? Are you kidding me? I hope Yankee Source is paid by the Yankees to look like a ill informed schill.
AAO,
I called Rivera a few weeks ago, not due to any insight. He was about the most depressing guy I could think of and voila!
Where’s Balboni when you need him ? Bye bye ?

Most depressing is an under statement. Juan Rivera wtf
@YankeesWFAN: You’re thinking of Ruben Rivera RT @MattYallofMLB: @JonHeymanCBS Should Jeter hide his glove?? Same Juan Rivera ?
—————–
There’s still time to sign Ruben.

So you are the Famous Yankee Scout known in the vernacular as “El Cheapo”.
Wow. Pleasure to meet you Sir. Thank you visiting our board.
Ruben can teach Montero how to run the bases !

I think what he meant was that that there’s a low risk of ever seeing a high reward.
Ruben can teach Montero how to run the bases !
==================
No. Stealing is Ruben’s thing.

Exactly, he knows how to steal in reverse ! < = out at home.
4 NYY, where have you and your Dave Righetti no hitter stats been? A lot of crappy frozen slush around these parts.
@mikeaxisa: Nick Johnson is retiring, giving me an excuse to post his 1999 AA line: .345/.525/.548, 123 BB, 88 K, 37 HBP.
Cautionary tale
Who is gonna DH vs RHP? You sure u wanna retire nick….Cash is in full dumpster dive mode

I’ve been keeping up, just not posting much. Reading all, though !
Prediction : Yanks, “as we stand,” will NOT win division. Jays improved, sux can’t be as bad, Rays still tough, & O’s still a pain.
I’ve forgotten, if you’ve said, exactly where are you ?
Against All Odds January 28th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
@YankeeSource: Yankees sign Juan Rivera to a minor league deal. Another low-risk/high-reward move by Cashman.
————————-
What’s the high reward exactly
__
He should have one follower, Cashman, assuming he’s not Cashman, and I’m not willing to do that.

we still have the I word around here
I still think this is all a dream & when I wakeup we signed J Hamilton, traded for Big Game & Arod never hurt his hip & is 100%……Now who’s favorite to win the WS
4 NYY, I live in what is commonly refered to as the, ” armpit,” of Ontario, the, ” hammer,” Hamilton, my town, gets a bad rep, lots of great old homes and the rest of the Provence should keep quiet as it is here that a lot of those in need of group homes reside.
He puts a shiny red bow on everything. The offense stumbles in the PS and it’s everyone slumped at the wrong time.

@jcrasnick: Freddy Garcia has agreed to minor league deal with #padres, source says. Chance to compete for a rotation spot.
4 NYY – Hamilton is a good place, and I’m lucky enough to be paying the bank for a residence at the base of the escarpment.
Hi blake, I have to hand it to your perseverance putting up with the rest of us …:) seriously, tho, I really think u should go out and get, Bill Freehan.
See ya, Freddy
MTU,
Yes, I admit it. I scour the barrels until I am certain I’m at he bottom, then that player gets my recommendation. I typically only recommend someone who was once a decent player but make sure at least three years have gone by since then.
I like to think of it as one big comeback story.
Rance Mullineks and Garth Iorg were fantastic reclamation projects up here.

I have a cousin in Hamilton ! ( Ohio )
None of these signings are anything to be excited about, but as we’ve seen, it can be a viable route. Cash has done a good job dumpster diving over the past three or so years. Hopefully one pans out.
Man, have we cornered the market on the scrap heap ! ?
Seriously, I think one of them will pan out and have at least a good half season. WHO ??
( I can hope , can’t I ? )
4 NYY, we all need a bit of Hamilton in our life!
I’ll have to down the road to Chatham sometime, Fergie Jenkins territory and what a beaut he was , didn’t even need John Hiller to bail him out.
@YankeeSource: Juan Rivera has 1 RBI every 6.37 AB for his career. In comparison, Nick Swisher has 1 RBI every 6.30 AB.
I’m close to unfollowing this guy
