Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

The Yankees didn't lose!

But they did put another pitcher on the disabled list. Dan Giese was placed on the 15-day DL with rotator cuff tendinitis (the same malady that sidelined Joba). Darrell Rasner (not Phil Hughes) will start Tuesday's game. Say what you want about Sir Sidney, but at least he's remained healthy, which is a lot more than most of our pitchers can say.

  • Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo is done at WFAN. Rumors have him going to Sirius Satellite Radio. I haven't listened to Tweedledee and Tweedledum in years, so I couldn't care less, but I know he has a lot of listeners out there. From what I remember, both of them are far more tolerable on their own.
  • Hideki Matsui's first rehab game (with the Tampa Yankees) was rained out.

Bobby Abreu - the worst right-fielder in the AL by a staggering 14 runs!

Hideki Matsui - one of the worst left-fielders.

Jason Giambi and Richie Sexson - among the worst first-basemen.

Melky - one of the best center-fielders.

Jeets - has actually been an above average shortstop.

Robbie Cano - considerably below average (after being great last year).

Arod - one of the lesser third-basemen.

Posada - actually above average (although I don't think the measurement includes caught stealing rates).

Good!

“Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo is done at WFAN. Rumors have him going to Sirius Satellite Radio.”

I really don’t like their radio show, it’s too long and I don’t agree with half the stuff they talk about. That will also hopefully clear up some time on the YES channel. Maybe they’ll play more Classics now.

Best and Worst defenders ...

Funny with Abreu, Giambi, Posada, Matsui and Cano all being below average defenders, the Yankees are among the leaders in committing the fewest errors.

fielding percentage

is not a good way to measure defense. Defensive Efficiency is among the better ways to measure team D, and it has the Yanks 25th out of 30.

I've listened to

Mike and the Dawg for a long time now, so I’m sad to see Russo go. He was entertaining.

I thought Gerritt Cole was some kinda uber-Yankee fan? Turning down millions to go to college? Seems ridonkulous to me.

Actually, Sexon has a lot of range and scoops balls in the dirt very well. Our problem
with Sexon is the bat, obviously.
