Rich Aurilia is a Brooklyn boy and, despite struggling to be productive and healthy last year, he’s hoping for a homecoming with either the Mets or Yankees.
“We know nothing is imminent, but hopefully we keep in contact with them,” Aurilia told the San Jose Mercury-News. “It’s just been preliminary, but they said there could be [...]

I love the show Numb3rs. For those who aren’t familiar, it’s sort of like CSI but with (a lot) more math and the best parts are when the genius, Charlie Eppes, suddenly has a revelation about some algorithm that can help him figure out which restaurant a bunch of bank robbers will hit next.
I mention [...]

These are slow days in MLB land, especially since it seems that everyone I know is either focused on this or this. Worry not – baseball will be front and center soon enough.
A few random nuggets for you this afternoon:
• Johnny Damon’s saga is slowly becoming comical. Word out of Detroit now seems to be [...]

The Yankees were pursuing FA Reed Johnson before they eventually wound up signing Randy Winn. This morning, Johnson reached a one-year, $800,000 deal with the Dodgers. Most fans who had gotten over the Johnny Damon divorce were advocating for the Yankees to pick up Johnson, who would have been a nice fit to platoon with Brett Gardner. Just look at their career splits: Gardner vs. RHP: .260/.328/.361 Gardner vs. LHP: .241/.310/.316 Johnson vs. RHP: .265/.324/.383 Johnso

When I read this morning’s guest post, my reaction sequence went something like this:
Jeter the best Yankee ever? No way!
(Pause)
Well, maybe ….
(Pause)
Naaaaaahhhhh.
That said, I think the Brothers Kaftan (no relation to the Brothers Molina) make some interesting points, particularly with regard to the depth of the talent in baseball these days and the off-field [...]

OK, It’s my fault for having ESPN’s text message alerts activated, but this morning’s text was completely unnecessary and it woke me up. “Detroit Free Press: OF Johnny Damon would like to play for Tigers, according to agent Scott Boras.” Really? I never would have guessed. A guy out of a job with virtually no suitors left is willing to play for a team on the rise and in a big city. So uncalled for! Damon has already passed up his best offers. He’d be crazy not to sign with the next

(Obviously that was a joke before about another guest post on instant replay. Here’s the real one …)
Now up in the Pinch Hitters series are brothers Chris and Trevor Kaftan, who wrote about Derek Jeter’s place in Yankees history.
Chris and Trevor are third-generation Yankee fans. Their grandfather immigrated to the Bronx from Ireland in the 1930s [...]

It seems that Puxatawney Phil saw his shadow this morning (at a place called “Gobbler’s Knob,” which has to be some kind of joke) and thus we’re all headed for six more weeks of winter. I don’t know what Phil’s VORG is (Value Above Replacement Groundhog), but considering the rampant frostiness cloaking the Northeast recently, [...]
