Future Yankee Signings

Two exams left before spring break will prevent me from posting the game results right now, but here's a nice two year plan for the Yankees.

2008 Free Agent Signing



2009 Free Agent Signing

Astros 4, Yankees 3

Robinson Cano hit a three-run home run in the first inning and Miguel Cairo had two hits. Chien-Ming Wang allowed one run on four hits with no walks and three strikeouts over five innings. Vizcaino and Bean tossed scoreless innings while Villone served up two home runs and southpaw Sean Kozlowski took the loss when he struggled in the ninth.

Jeff Karstens walked none and struck out four in four shutout innings. Chase Wright, Proctor, Britton and Farnsworth had scoreless outings for the Yankees. Ron Villone allowed one run in the eighth. Jeter, Cano and Matsui each went 2-for-3. Todd Pratt drove in a run.

Reds 6, Yankees 3

Mussina continues to look bad. He served up another home run (fourth in three starts) and three runs over three innings. Brian Bruney and Rivera made scoreless appearances and TJ Beam tossed a scoreless inning. Luis Vizcaino allowed an unearned run and Matt DeSalvo let up a pair. Johnny Damon had two hits and Robinson Cano went 3-for-3 with a double. Kevin Thompson hit a ninth-inning home run.

Red Sox 7, Yankees 5

In a game that featured Boston's Opening Day lineup and three Yankee regulars, the Yankees didn't lose the game until removing their few regulars and pitching their prospects. Ross Ohlendorf took the loss allowing three runs in two innings. Darrell Rasner allowed two runs behind a three-inning, two-run outing by Carl Pavano. Josh Phelps had two hits and two RBIs. Matsui and Basak each had two hits. I've been impressed by Chris Basak, and am beginning to think he deserves the backup infielder job ahead of Miguel Cairo.

Indians 4, Yankees 3

Alex Rodriguez had an RBI double and Jose Tabata hit his first home run of the spring in the ninth inning, but other than that, the Yankees didn't muster much offense. Bronson Sardinha had two hits and Brett Gardner drove in one. Chein-Ming Wang allowed one run in four innings. He allowed three hits and struck out four. Philip Hughes struggled, allowing three runs in an inning and a third. Rivera, Beam, Proctor, Britton and Villone all had scoreless outings.

Yankees 5, Pirates 3

The Yankees bookended their offense today, scoring three times in the first and twice in the ninth. Cano had an RBI hit in the first, and Eric Duncan homered in the ninth to break a tie and give the Yankees their eighth spring win against only one loss. Igawa followed his shaky first outing with a better one. Not great, but an improvement. He made a mistake to Ronnie Paulino that led to a two run homer in the third, but other than that Igawa was better. He didn't walk any and struck out four, giving him seven in four innings this spring. Steven Jackson struggled again in two innings, but Vizcaino, Clippard, Henn and Myers were all solid.
