Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Around the Yankee Universe, 04.01.09

Here is a look around the Inter-Google at what is being written and said about your New York Yankees on this April Fool's Day.

  • Alex Rodriguez is pushing to return earlier than expected from his hip surgery. Personally, I would like to see him be cautious and not try to come back too soon.
  • It is High, It is Far, It is ... Caught has some off-the-wall ideas for how to replace Bob Sheppard as Yankees' public address announcer. I vote for giving the job to John Sterling so we don't have to listen to him on the radio anymore.
  • Buster Olney figures the recently-released Gary Sheffield is going to have a difficult time finding a new team.
  • Baseball Prospectus has a history lesson for the Yankees when it comes to the use of agin shortstops. Around the Yankee Universe, this is a topic that isn't going to go away.
  • Baseball Musings uses some statistical analysis from FanGraphs to preview the AL East, and comes away predicting that the Yankees should win the division.

Sterling?

Yankees win! Thuuuuuuuuh Yankees win!

Can’t decide whether it would sound worse coming out of my radio speakers or the stadium PA.

At least

out of the PA he wouldn’t be able to do his running, self-serving commentary and his mostly stupid home run calls.
