Jeter's setback

The general Manager of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, has announced that star shortstop Derek Jeter is possibly on the disabled list for opening day. Edwardo Nunez will be the one to take his spot.

Jeter must miss some games because his rehab has been rushed and the Yankees won't take any chances with a franchise player like Jeter.


"I feel great," Nunez said after the Yankees' 4-0 victory over the Red Sox on Wednesday at The Boss. "I feel so comfortable, confident in myself. I think I've fixed a lot of my defense this year."

Edwardo Nunez did make an error in the bombers' previous spring training game, but in his defense it was a nasty hop and he didn't have a large chance at throwing him out if he caught it. I think Nunez is ready for the season.

How do you think the Yankees season will pan out with Granderson, Jeter, Texiera, Hughes, and Rodriguez out with injuries? Not good. Post your opinion in the comments box.

Jeter is Ready

Derek Jeter has been cleared to play against the Atlanta Braves. Jeter has been recovering from a broken ankle he received last year and says he is 100 percent ready for the game.

Jeter said that he "It is 100 percent healed, and now we move forward."This was mentioned after hitting batting practice against teammate Andy Pettitte. 

What I am currently wondering is 'will Derek Jeter be ready after only 20 days of full practice before the Yankees first game?' I think he won't be playing exactly like Jeter until May or mid to late April. Do you think that this will be a problem, post in the comments!

Granderson Out

  The New York Yankees have suffered many losses in recent seasons.  With the whole PED's situation with A-Rod and the fractured ankle that Derek Jeter is currently in rehab, to now the fact that Curtis Granderson will not play until at least the first week of May.  He was hit by a pitch in the forearm, and the news in the clubhouse was that he broke his forearm.  Granderson was a monster home run hitter, bombing them into the stands when Robinson Cano was in a slump.  He is a fast center-fielder who can chase down balls and run the bases swiftly.  I think the Yankees should start looking for younger and fresher players to start.  Jeter is growing older and nearing the end of his career.  The loss of Curtis Granderson will severely hurt the New York Yankees.

Yankees: What Else is New

The New York Yankees have been having a tough off season and it is getting worse as they have not gained any new power for any position. Also, Curtis Granderson was expected to start in left field and Brett Gardner to play center, instead he was hit in the hand in the top of the first inning disabling him from any play for the rest of the game. Curtis was hitting in the number five hole with a pair of runners on and two outs when there was a 2-2 count and pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, J.A Happ ran one a little too far inside and caught Granderson's right hand. His condition was not yet announced.

Also, Alex Rodriguez is in more trouble with his cousin, Yuri Sucart selling a replica 2009 Yankees world series ring that was giving to Sucart by A-Rod, but apparently never owned nor worn by A-Rod. It is being sold on an online auction website with an opening bid of 5,000 dollars. A-rod wasn't "available" to talk about it so his spokesman said "Alex Rodriguez made numerous replica World Series rings for friends and family. He didn't know that Yuri Sucart was selling one of them."

Finally the Yankees have some good news that Derrek Jeter will be ready to play on March tenth for a spring training game. That will leave Jeter with 19 spring training games before the Yankees play their rival the Boston Redsox on April first. Jeter should be in no way unable to perform on the opener unless he acquires another injury which isn't likely. So we are looking forward to seeing Jeter in action in only two weeks.
