Open Thread 6/30/11

Yankees swept the Brewers and now move onto the Mets tomorrow for a 3 game set.  Look forward to Mike’s series Preview later tonight or tomorrow morning.  Also another thing to look for is Ricky’s great podcast on the Series preview.

Enjoy the rest of the night everyone. Chat about what you like.  Any notes Yankees related I will update the thread with it.

 

 

Yankee Notes:

Derek Jeter (calf) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Trenton.

Jeter confirmed Thursday that he will play minor league games on Saturday and Sunday before rejoining the Yankees next Monday for a series against the Indians. “I feel good now,” said Jeter. “I feel a lot better. I’m ready to get out of here.” Jeter has been sidelined since June 14 with a strained right calf.

Cashman Doesn’t Expect High Quality Pitchers to Become Available

CASHMAN DOESN’T EXPECT HIGH QUALITY PITCHERS TO BECOME AVAILABLE

MLBTR:

As Bartolo Colon, Phil Hughes and Rafael Soriano work their way back from injuries, their general manager is surveying the trade market for possible targets. Yet Brian Cashman doesn’t see many quality arms available, so he expects his strongest pitching reinforcements to come from within the organization, according to Newsday’s Ken Davidoff.

“I’d be shocked if I could trade for anything better than what I’m getting off the DL, both with starters in Colon and Hughes and in the bullpen with Soriano,” Cashman said.

The trade market develops quickly, especially in late July, so the Yankees may find an elite starter or reliever on the market eventually. They’ll look everywhere for possible upgrades with an emphasis on improving the rotation, according to Davidoff.

Well there’s a loophole in what Cashman says. Anything better than what he’s getting off the DL (Colon) would mean an elite pitcher such as King Felix. The upgrade does not need to be over Colon. They could use an upgrade over Freddy Garcia/Ivan Nova and an upgrade over Lance Pendleton/Brian Gordon/Hector Noesi. And pitchers better than them should become available, just as they always do each year at the deadline.

Game Review from MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch:

NEW YORK — Russell Martin wouldn’t be the first catcher to proudly weather a few welts as souvenirs of a job well done, so he wasn’t seeking sympathy when those aches slowed his bat a few ticks.

Martin notched his first extra-base hit in more than a month on Wednesday, belting a three-run homer to support A.J. Burnett’s strong effort as the Yankees defeated the Brewers, 5-2, at Yankee Stadium.

“As long as we’re winning, it doesn’t bother me as much,” said Martin, who slugged a fourth-inning shot off Milwaukee starter Shaun Marcum. “If we were losing more, it would probably affect me a bit more, but I go out here and my main focus is to try to win the ballgame.”

Some quick notes

Phil Hughes (arm) allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in a rehab start with Double-A Trenton.

Very encouraging. Hughes allowed just three hits while walking two and striking out eight. The only run scored when Cory Arbiso allowed an inherited runner to cross the plate. Another encouraging sign is that he topped out at 94 mph on the radar gun.

 

Rafael Soriano (elbow) is just about ready to begin throwing bullpen sessions off a mound.

Soriano has been doing flat-ground workouts for the past week, rebuilding the lost strength in his throwing arm. The right-handed setup man is aiming to return to the Yankees’ bullpen sometime around mid-July.

The Weekly Great Yankee Moment: 6/29/11

This week goes back into history about 50 years, to the year- 1961. You guessed it…Roger Maris’ 61st home run. First is a short video on the homer:

Here is a really good article on the event from Dr. Harvey Frommer:

Roger Maris:  The 61st Home Run, October 1, 1961

With the toppling of home run records and the “juiced” controversy seemingly now a part of baseball’s culture, with all kinds of opinions being uttered in various quarters about the validity of accomplishments – it is now nostalgic to flash back to a simpler time, to a simple man – New York Yankee Roger Maris – the man who broke Babe Ruth’s single season home run record – – in a game against the Red Sox of Boston.  

“When Roger Maris was going for the home run record he would eat only bologna and eggs for breakfast,” his friend Julie Isaacson recalled. “Every morning we would have breakfast together at the Stage Deli.  We had the same waitress, and I’d leave her the same five dollar tip every time.  After, I would drive Roger up to the Stadium.”

In 1956, Mickey Mantle had smashed 52 home runs for the Bronx Bombers. And there were many who saw him as the man to break Babe Ruth’s season record of 60. Mantle was the favorite; Maris who had come to the Yankees in a trade with Kansas  City was the outsider, the loner.

In 1961, Maris did not homer in his first ten games, but by the  end of May he had recorded a dozen. There were 27 by the end of June. By the end of July Maris had 40  home runs – and was six ahead of the Babe Ruth record total that had stood since 1927.

Prince Fielder v.s Mark Teixeira: Why Yanks Don’t Need Fielder

The Yankees and Brewers were hard at work yesterday during batting practice. They were shagging fly ball, stretching, running around the bases and int he midst of hitting fly balls into the outfield or in the seats. But there was someone that a major league scout was interested in, watching from the press box as he hit homer after homer into the seats. No, it wasn’t A-Rod, and it wasn’t Curtis Granderson. Heck, it wasn’t even Jorge Posada or Nick Swisher. The man was Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. From the scouts observations he noticed that Prince Fielder made hitting all of those home runs look easy but he was wondering if the Yankees had seen the same thing that he saw, and if not, he would gladly explain it:

“If I’m the Yankees, he’s the guy I would sign, even with Mark Teixeira here.”

Well, it sounds tempting but for the Yankees it just doesn’t seem right at least in my opinion. Mark Teixeira is one of the best first baseman in the leagues and he has such stellar defense that’s it’s hard to keep him out in the lineup (though Jorge Posada does a good job copying him when he has his occasional starts at first). It wouldn’t seem like a good deal for the Yankees mainly for the fact that the scout suggests that he should be in the DH role. If the Yankees had learned anything, it’s that the DH is to give there older power hitting players a chance to play at least half the game. Right now that role is secured by Jorge Posada, but next season, Girardi would probably platoon that role between Jeter and A-Rod since let’s face it, there both aging. Also, Prince Fielder in New York? It sounds really tempting but as of right now I see only Mark Teixeira at first.

And then again, even if Mark Teixeira had gotten injured, the Yankees still have Nick Swisher, who has played a little bit of first base for the Yankees. And the outfield would be easier to fill if the Yankees decide to sign Chris Dickerson for another year. (Let’s face it, Chris Dickerson is doing pretty well for a platoon player). The Yankees have it practically all down packed, and right now it doesn’t seem that Prince Fielder fits within this Yankees lineup. What the Yankees do need is pitching and some depth in the bullpen. But that’s another story. But from what I can tell, Prince Fielder is not the fit that the Yankees are looking for.

Morning Bits 6/29/11

Great win by the Yankees yesterday as the bats came alive.  Another good pitching matchup today.

Listen to the series preview podcast by Ricky.

and here are your morning links.

* Posada says Yankees still need Jeter back.

* Could Prince be in pinstripes next year?

* Like I have mentioned before Cashman is in his contract year but he is saying he doesn’t want to leave.

Game Review from MLB.com’s Matt Fortuna:

NEW YORK — When Tuesday’s rout was over, after the Yankees’ 12-2 win over the Brewers gave them their 13th victory in 17 games and put them 1 1/2 games ahead of the Red Sox in the American League East, the players and their manager threw around a term not often heard during hot Bronx summers.

Loose.

One of the men most responsible for that vibe is Nick Swisher, who hit his second home run in as many games, his 10th of the season and seventh this month.

UPDATE: SOME INJURY NEWS

 

Eric Chavez (foot) took batting practice again on Monday and reported feeling fine.

Chavez began a running program last week and could be nearing the start of a minor league rehab assignment. The veteran corner infielder is aiming to return to the Yankees’ bench right around the All-Star break.

Pedro Feliciano (shoulder) made 15 soft throws off a bullpen mound Monday in Tampa, Florida.

It wasn’t technically a bullpen session, but it represents a big step in the right direction for the veteran left-hander. He has been on the disabled list since the start of the season with a torn shoulder capsule and is hoping to join the Yankees’ bullpen in late July.

Mark Prior (groin) is scheduled to throw off a mound again on Tuesday in Tampa, Florida.

Prior tossed a successful bullpen session on Saturday, reporting no pain or discomfort in his groin. The 30-year-old is hoping to reach the majors at some point this season but must first do some serious proving in a minor league setting. He’ll report back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once fully healthy.

Derek Jeter (calf) ran the bases Tuesday.

Jeter continues to make strides in his ongoing recovery from a right calf strain. He ran from home to first four times, first to second three times and first to third once at the Yankees’ spring training complex. The hope is that he will be ready to return to the bigs in early July.

Bartolo Colon (hamstring) practiced bunting Tuesday.

Sweeny Murti of New York’s WFAN suspects that Colon was working on his bunting in anticipation of returning to the Yankees’ starting rotation this weekend for an interleague series against the crosstown Mets. The big right-hander has been sidelined since early June with a strained hamstring.
