Around the Internet
- Selling Low - New York Post | Joel Sherman: The Yankees need to sell low on Joba Chamberlain and/or Phil Hughes and hope they can improve the lineup.
- The Offense is Offensive - It's About the Money | Brad Vietrogoski: If the Yankees want to upgrade their offense, it wouldn't even take blockbuster trades to improve it, smaller trades could help them find the next Vernon Wells and Travis Hafner.
- What is this Pitcher Worth? - Wall Street Journal | Dan Barbarisi: Despite his inconsistencies, Phil Hughes will get paid when he reaches free agency because of the promise of an elite pitcher he brings.
- Batty - New York Daily News | Mark Feinsand: Vernon Wells' slump, or whatever you want to call it, coincided with the Yankees' fall, but he's going to keep working until he gets it right.
- High Strikeout Rates - It's About the Money | Michael Eder: The more David Phelps pitches, the more he shows that he is a legitimate MLB starter, but he will have to maintain a high strikeout rate if he wants to pitch in Yankee Stadium.
- Finally, You Are Better - Notgraphs | Mike Bates: Lou Gehrig is better than you at everything, but there's one thing you might beat him on.
- The Time Has Arrived - LoHud | Chad Jennings: Zoilo Almonte had quite a game yesterday and he and Joe Girardi had a lot to say about it.
