Yankee fans know the waiting game. We’ve played it before with Andy Pettitte, and we’ll play it again. This year, though, there is seemingly some urgency to it as Pettitte’s decision could impact how the team plots its off-season. Last year, the Yankees were content to wait for Andy Pettitte. They had bigger fish to fry, [...] Post from: River Ave....

Since the World Series ended almost 3 weeks ago, there has been very little news regarding talks with free-agents Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, or Andy Pettitte on potential new deals. And today, GM Brian Cashman said that he does not expect to hear from Pettitte regarding his future anytime soon. Andy had a great season this year, going 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP...

Andy Pettitte has the most wins of any active pitcher since 1995, and is second in starts and innings pitched, trailing only Greg Maddux. I read that fact in Tom Verducci’s Sports Illustrated article earlier this month, titled “World Domination.” The premise of the story is that the Yankees had a lot of performances from older players [...]

The Yankees have until midnight to make their decisions about whether to offer arbitration to their departing free agents. Johnny Damon is a Class A free agent, Xavier Nady and Andy Pettitte are Class B, and offering arbitration to any of those three would land the Yankees an extra draft pick (or two) if that player were to [...] Click on the headline for the rest of this blog post ...

At certain points in the off-season we learn something definitive about a team’s plans. A week and a half ago teams had to protect players not on their 40-man rosters from the Rule 5 draft. We learned then that the Yankees valued certain players. Today the Yankees must decide whether to offer arbitration to their three compensation-eligible free agents: Johnny Damon , Andy Pettitte ,...

... Damon, though both players would probably have to accept a cut in pay and contract length like Andy Pettitte. I could also see the Yankees obtaining Roy Halladay if somehow they can convince Toronto not to desire Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. That’s it for now. In other news.

New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez and Andy Pettitte figured that out. Rather than stonewalling or sidestepping allegations they used performance-enhancing drugs, like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire did, both admitted it and apologized. While Bonds and McGwire remain pariahs, Rodriguez was treated like a hero as the Yankees won their 27th World Series title. Pettitte hung out with Letterman....

... a mix of experienced players and the next generation. Decisions need to be made on Damon, Matsui, Pettitte, Wang, Hughes and Joba. It’s hard to say if Cashman will pull the right strings this time around, (he certainly had a terrific 2008 off-season) but I feel that if he follows that plan than it could work. Some of my suggestions: Sign either one: Damon/Matsui, Bring in John Lackey or...
