Dl for Pineda. Inflammation which I would assume means there is not structural. I would imagine a lot of this has to do with him not working much this offseason.
Sounds like food news though, right?
So it shoulder tendinitis which is great news, hopefully he can get back before end of April. In other news Yankees signed Jack Cust and resigned Branyon to a minor league deal, good insurance with ibanez on this team.
Agreed, bronx. The ny mentality when it comes to things like this makes no fucking sense. He has yet to throw one meaningful inning and has a sore shoulder and people are declaring him a bust. Come on.
forgive me..just nervous with this kd
we traded ur boy..the next "star" for him
granted montero can't catch
but when i think of the players we could have gotten if montero was included..it makes me nervous w/ pineda
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......

I hear you, man. Just seems like half the fanbase is giving up on this kid before he pitches an inning. That is frustrating the hell out of me. Unfortunately it seems he didn't put in much work over the offseason and it looks like this is how it ended up. Hopefully this will give him time to get his stuff together and be ready to go before May. I still think this kid is going to be the real deal. Just delayed by a few weeks.
Watching the Yankees replay and i cant believe how bad the marlins new park looks wtf where they thinking?
As someone who was at the ballpark today, I don't think it was that bad in person. The "pastel" thing work for the area, with the tile and flamingo/marlin centerfield thing. I am a big fan of the old ballpark theme, but that doesn't work here.
"McCready played on, lending credence to the theory that he was actually built in Stone’s basement from spare truck parts and vinyl records." - Glide Mag. review of MSG 7/8/03
Maybe it's different in person but on tv that stadium really looks terrible. That thing out in centerfield is the most hideous thing I've ever seen at a ballpark. I'm surprised they didn't put windmills on the bases.

looks like you bastards have another potential beast on the farm. cashman has been killing it lately in regards to signing amateur talent.

With the Yankees' signing of Dominican righthander Jose Rafael DePaula finally becoming official this week, where does he rank among Yankees prospects? What BA Grade would he have gotten in the 2012 Prospect Handbook?
Ryan Hall
Abingdon, Md.
DePaula originally presented himself to MLB as Rafael DePaula Figueroa and with a birthdate of April 1, 1992, which would have made him eligible to sign on July 2, 2008. He only threw in mid- to high 80s at the time and went unsigned that summer, though the following spring he drew significant attention by working in the low 90s and peaking at 95. But MLB suspended him for one year because of issues related to his documentation, making him ineligible to sign until Jan. 7, 2010.
In June 2010, BA assistant editor Ben Badler reported that DePaula had presented a new name (Jose Rafael DePaula) and birthdate (March 24, 1991, making him a year older than he originally stated). That November, he agreed to a $500,000 bonus from the Yankees, contingent upon him receiving a visa to enter the United States. That process took 16 months, during which he worked out at the Yankees' academy in the Dominican Republic.
Ben is our go-to guy on international affairs, and he says he'd grade DePaula as a 60/Extreme. On our Yankees Top 10 Prospects list, that would place DePaula in the midst of catcher Austin Romine (50/Low at No. 8), catcher/third baseman J.R. Murphy (55/High at No. 9) and outfielder Slade Heathcott (60/Extreme at No. 10). I'd err on the side of upside and put DePaula ahead of all of them.
Here are some more thoughts from Ben on DePaula:
His talent is legitimate. The fastball really is touching the high 90s, power curve, good body, good mechanics, he's just had an extremely atypical developmental path because of the suspension and visa issue. I don't stick my neck out much on the international amateur guys, but we did with Carlos Martinez at No. 3 for the Cardinals in 2011 and Miguel Sano at No. 4 for the Twins in 2010, and I think DePaula is that type of player. I don't like running up the 16-year-old signings much because there's still so much projection involved, but DePaula is 21 and has now stuff.

Don't know too much about this kid but have heard good things. That Campos kid they got in the Montero trade is also supposed to be a stud.
Are Robertson and Soriano on the opening day roster?
No, he's a long ways away. He's only 19. If you're talking about Pineda, no. He'll be out a little while
Yeah, why wouldn't they be?
I didn't know if either of them were injured. I know robertson hurt his foot early in ST and wasn't sure if he was healthy. I have my dynasty baseball supplement draft tonight. 12 owners each keep 30 players, then we have a 5 round draft to fill our our 35 man roster. We are pretty much huge nerds. I always look to fill out my roster with high K RPs (got vinny pestano in the last round last year...great find). Robertson and Soriano are both available, so I'll be looking to get both of them

Just got my season tickets in the mail today and let me tell you, they are sick. Instead of all current players on the tickets, like most years and like most teams do, each ticket is a Yankees milestone, record, or huge moment in the history of the team. Absolutely sick.

That's cool! It's weird seeing Jeter with all of those legends but he desreves to be there. His number should be retired the minute he decides to hang them up.
Absolutely, DS. Jeter doesn't just get his number retired, he gets a plaque out there, no doubt about it. It's awesome seeing him with them. Love the tickets this year.
Speaking of, I think im going to have yanks-red sox tickets available for the last weekend in July if anyone is interested.

So it shoulder tendinitis which is great news, hopefully he can get back before end of April. In other news Yankees signed Jack Cust and resigned Branyon to a minor league deal, good insurance with ibanez on this team.

Hasn't been great and the Yanks have a lot of pitchers.
