It's official: Granderson to the Yanks |
| Today the Yankees officially completed the deal that sends Ian Kennedy to Arizona and Phil Coke and Austin Jackson to Detroit, but more importantly brings Curtis Granderson to the Bronx. Granderson has the potential to do great things for the Yanks as the 28-year old left-hander looks to continue to hit for power, average, play a strong outfiield and bring some speed with him as well. This move solves one of the two issues that the Yanks' front office has to deal with during the offseason - pitching and the outfield. With Granderson, New York no longer has to feel pressure to bring Damon or Matsui back, although they would be wise to consider either. My guess is that Jeter will lead off, followed by Granderson, Teixiera and A-Rod. That should prove to be a very productive and dangerous 1 - 4 in the lineup. Up next, pitching. The acquisition of Roy Halliday would make this a great offseason. Labels: Granderson, Kennedy, Outfield, Pitching, Prospects, Trade |

Kennedy's frustrations |
After being demoted to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 4, brought back up to the Yankees on May 15, placed on the DL on May 28 and then activated from the DL on June 24 and sent down to Single-A Tampa to begin a rehab stint, the roller coaster which is Ian Kennedy's 2008 season was back on the upswing until a frustrating and rain-shortened start last Thursday. His recent performances look like this:
June 28 (Tampa Yankees) - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 4 SO, 0 ER
On July 3, he pitched 2 innings of a rain-suspended game where he gave up one run with two hits, including a solo home run and two walks.
He feels good, is apparently injury free and is ready to start again. The Yanks surely need him.Labels: Kennedy, Pitching, Rotation |

Santana chase |
The Twins recently offered their ace lefthander Johan Santana a 4-year, $80 million contract which would make him the all-time highest paid pitcher. Its unlikely that he turned down the offer for the money. Rather, he likely wants to be part of a winning team. After negotiations broke down, the Twins indicated that they would begin shopping him around and its reported that he would be willing to trade his full no-trade clause to be traded to a winner. One source reported that the Yanks plan to make a "good, strong offer" but it is unknown what this means. I do not need a lot of convincing as to what Santana would mean to the club. The Yanks obviously want him and if Pettitte doesn't come back, they may very well need him. In fact, there's a case to be made that it will be easier to convince Pettitte to come back and take another shot at a ring if Santana is in pinstripes. Santana is a 28-year old lefty and already has 2 CY Youngs. He has a career record of 93-44 with, what I believe to be the most important statistic, a career ERA of 3.22. The questions will obviously be: who should the Yanks give up and what will he be worth when he is in NY? The answer to the second question will lead you to the first. It's important to understand exactly who Santana will be and who he won't. I have no doubt that he could have a long, successful career in New York. With the bats New York has in their lineup backing up his low ERA, he will be a threat to win 20 games each season and a perennial CY Young contender. However, the Yanks don't need to win games in the regular season. The have proven they can already do that. They need to win playoff games. They have proven over the last seven seasons that they have no problems getting to the playoffs but they consistently choke, more often than not against sub-par teams, once they get there. They also have had their share of good pitchers over the last seven years. Pitchers such as Mussina, Pettitte and Wong have been very good during the regular season, but they have also been consistently beaten in the playoffs. Good pitchers can win many games and get beat in the playoffs. The Red Sox cruised through the playoffs this year very much on the back on Josh Beckett. In four starts, Beckett was 4 - 0 with a 1.20 ERA. In the same playoffs, Chien-Ming Wang was 0 - 2 with an ERA of 19.06. Both have comparable regular-season numbers. That's the difference and without a lights out pitcher, the Yanks will continue to struggle in their quest for a 27th world championship. The final question mark for Santana is how will he stand up to the pressure of New York. The fans, the media, the ownership and even the team will place very high expectations on a player with little tolerance for failure. Some flourish in the pressure while others can't handle it.
The other side of the equation is what the Twins will want in exchange for Santana. Reports are that the Twins are looking for three or four good prospects. Of course, the definition of what a "good prospect" is can mean different things to different people. Cano and Cabrera's names were both mentioned, along with Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain. I consider Cabrera expendable. I know he has a great arm, but in two full major league seasons, so far he seems to be a .280 hitter with 8 home runs per season. Cano is a slightly different story as he looks as if he can hit over .300 with about 20 homer runs each season and his fielding is above average. They all have great potential and have less than a full year of major league experience, which makes them big question marks. I don't know that there's an easy answer to the question of who to offer for Santana, but I hope Cashman continues to have his way and the Yanks continue to protect their future.Labels: Cabrera, Cano, Cashman, Hughes, Joba, Kennedy, Pitching, Santana, The future |

Not bad....not bad at all... |
| Today the Yanks got back on track with a win against the Devil Rays. Ian Kennedy pitched a solid game for his first major-league start, throwing seven innings, giving up one earned run and striking out six. Throw in a Seattle loss, an A-Bomb by A-Rod and a Mariano save, and you have a good day. If Boston manages to lose to Baltimore again tonight, the icing will be on the cake.
