Around the Internet
- Who Takes the Spot? - New York Daily News | Mark Feinsand: Neither Ivan Nova or David Phelps have really asserted themselves as the better choice for the Yankees' fifth starter, but does it really matter?
- Who's to Blame - It's About the Money | Brad Vietrogoski: Playing Kevin Youkilis before his back was completely healed proved to be a mistake, but who is to blame from Joe Girardi, the training staff, Brian Cashman, and Youkilis himself? We'll never know.
- Temporary Need - LoHud | Chad Jennings: The Yankees traded for Chris Nelson, not because he is the perfect fit, but because he happened to be available and he could easily fill in a depleted infield.
- Still Looking to Define Himself - LoHud | Chad Jennings: David Phelps could have really grabbed hold of the reins and established himself with a good start, but he faltered and now has to wait for another opportunity.
