WHY BURNETT'S ABOUT TO BRING IT

AJ Burnett is about to embark on his best season as a New York Yankee. You heard it here first.
1 reason...Mechanics. Getting to the core of your problems is key and while AJ had other alleged issues going on, mechanics seems to be the major culprit, according to Rothschild. We've seen it with throwing, swinging and slumps. Grandy and Swish last year. Joba and AJ this year.

The main point with mechanics is, if you can figure out where a foot's landing or where you're follow through is when you finish your release, and you right that to the way it's supposed to be, well, let's just say you become you again. AJ is about to be AJ again.

Here's a quote from AJ from Peter Botte's piece in the NY Daily News:

"You just get the ball back and make the next pitch. So far we've stopped it. Stuff's going to creep into your head, but you have to have confidence and believe in yourself, no matter what. It's not questioning every little thing you do out there."

Look, AJ, who was never dominant, but he will be damn close to great this year. It breaks down simply like this. With mechanic analysis comes confidence, when the confidence comes, any doubt leaves and focus takes over. I call it the Pyramid of Pitching Dominance. Sounds ridiculous but it's all connected.

Yes, it's true. One Spring game of 2 innings of shutout work will not make AJ the ultimate ace. I know that. It will however demonstrate to himself that he IS capable and it is his first step.

Rothschild seems almost like a Zen Master to me. I Freakish Yoda figure that notices a sudden movement in a pitching sequence and gets these guys back on track. Yes, It's true, I'm getting over excited. Look, go scratch, these are my Yankees. This news about AJ's mechanics is major. Don't forget, he was 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA last year, the worst ERA of any Yankee starter ever. Well, BYB freaks, things are about to change. AJ Burnett will be back, kicking some ass, black eye free and ready to rumble and I can't wait.

WHY ROBERTSON WILL DOMINATE

David Robertson is entering his third full season as a New York Yankee, and after the Kerry Wood signing with the Chicago Cubs and before the signing of Rafael Soriano, it looked as though Robertson would earn the setup role behind future Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera. But with the signing of Rafael Soriano, Robertson will more than likely slide down to the seventh inning role. Nice bridge.

Over the last two seasons, Robertson he has pitched in 109 games and has a solid 3.60 ERA. He was also a hero in game two of the 2009 ALDS against the Minnesota Twins by escaping a bases loaded, no outs situation without allowing a run to score. Who can forget that? But what stands out for the young right hander is that in 105 innings pitched over the last two regular seasons, he's racked up 134 strikeouts. That's 11.48 K's per nine innings pitched. That mark is obviously near the top in the Major leagues and it's definitely something that will make him a mainstay in the Yankee bullpen in years to come.Although Robertson has been great overall as a Yankee, he has had a rough time getting off to good starts from 2008-2010. In the months of April and May, Robertson has a 5.78 ERA, while having a WHIP of 1.83. But once the calender flips to June and beyond, the young right hander has an ERA of 3.61, while dropping his WHIP to 1.37. He'll need to get off to a good start this season to have a great season from April through September. I know he can.

Although Robertson is "battling" Joba Chamberlain for the seventh inning role, he pretty much has it signed, sealed and delivered due to the issues that Joba Chamberlain has dealt with. Look for Robertson to have a dominant season now that he's in his third full year, and his fourth year overall. The dude can pitch, and if he gets off to a hot start and stays that way, we'll have the best damn pen in the pros.

WHY THINGS ARE FALLING INTO PLACE

No one wants to root against a Yankee player if your a fan like me. But in a sick mind trick, I was OK with Francisco Cervelli fouling a ball off his foot and getting hurt. (I'm going to hell.) I know, I'm a cheerleader for the guy. But in the back of my mind I was thinking "OK, the injury isn't serious. This means more playing time for Jesus this spring."

Selfishly, I want Jesus Montero to succeed. It sucks to feel this way, just push Cervelli aside and On to the Next One, but the reality is, Montero can't shine without extra help. Meaning simply, if Cervelli, who's also fighting for a catching job gets a little banged up in the process, so be it. Getting Montero behind the plate as much as possible is a good thing.

The good news is many are liking what they see from Montero already, and it's not just with his bat, which we all already love, it's his defense. David Robertson puts it best:

“I first saw him when I signed here and it’s amazing how much better he has gotten, He sets up good, blocks balls in the dirt and stays down. He looks good.”

I love this quote because that's coming from a pitcher, Montero's battery mate who depends on his catcher. Montero also threw out 2 Pirates on steal attempts the other day, so clearly, things are clicking for this young man.My thinking is this, the more playing time, the more face time, the better chance this kids got to go pro and come to the Bronx. After all, we all know his talent, but seeing it is believing it...and I believe in Jesus.

WHY YANKEE HATE MAKES US STRONGER

Yankee hate is alive and well. It was never more evident to me than when I was invited to a group on Facebook recently and then kicked out. Baseball Chat was the name of it, and if you're a Yankee fan on that group page, I suggest you leave.

At the time I was invited, it seemed simple enough, baseball and chatting. I thought "How nice, a place where we can talk about all teams. No mean spirited stuff, great!" Clearly with a name like Bleeding Yankee Blue, you knew where I was coming from. So I accepted the invitation and presented my posts immediately. After all, I am a blogger.

Well, apparently people didn't like my posts. Non Yankee fans. Red Sock Fans, Twins fans, they all apparently were allowed to voice their thoughts on the Yankees and my blog, and it was mean spirited. Yet, I couldn't post my blogs. No, not me. Instead, I was just kicked out of the group. Ah shucks. Here's a sample. Enjoy it, I did:Now, this isn't a post to have all the BYB readers run over to Baseball Chat and rip them a new one. No, This is a post about Yankee pride. Yankee fans get a bum rap. People hate us because we love the Yankees. They use all the lines we've heard a million times: We won 27 championships, but we suck. We buy championships, love that one. We have the biggest payroll, damn straight we do.

Look, I was raised a Yankee fan. I watched them win some in the 70's, suck some in the 80's and win some more in the 90's. I like my Yankees in last place but love them in first place. All my life I followed Derek Jeter, Wayne Tolleson, Danny Tartabull and Bobby Meacham and I did it because it's my team. I once got an autograph from Gary Ward. No one probably remembers that guy, but I do because I love the Yankees. See what I mean? I really do bleed blue. Bottom line, I like winning but I root when my Yanks are losing too.

My point is, the Yanks are my team and you have your team. Respect it. I do. We're not at war people, this is the game of ball we're talking about. Chillax.

So do me a favor, stick with the Yankee sites ladies and gentlemen, there's jealously and anger out there. Stand tall, smile and back our Yanks, after all, they're the greatest team on earth and whomever doesn't like it needs to get a life.

WHY I'M THINKING TOO MUCH...SORRY

So, Hardball Talk had a piece about the San Francisco Giants considering releasing Barry Zito and eating the remaining $65 million dollar contract. The piece was written by Bruce Jenkins of the San Francisco Chronicle. Now, this is the first time I heard about this story, and Bruce Bochy, the Giants skipper said the same thing, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News. Bochy allegedly said to Barry: “This is the first we’ve heard of this.” Genius Bruce. You always say that when you're approached by one of your starters who are about to get the axe.

So, it got me thinking. Would you sign Barry Zito to be a starter for the Yankees if all this crap is actually true? Fine, yell at me, but I'm just asking the question.

Look, there is no question the National League has not been a good place for Barry Zito. Since he signed his monster contract back in 2007, he's been a mess, there's been injury, and he was even taken out of the rotation temporarily last year. Nothing good came from the Zito-Giants marriage, except of course his 2010 championship ring. Now, I would suggest, This may be a good time to part company. And IF, this story is true, it's an interesting name thrown into the mix. Now, in fairness, there is a report now that states Bruce Bochy has denied the release report, read that HERE. That being said, I think a lot, so stay on my track here for a second. I wonder if Zito, who's much older than his days than with the A's, could regain his American League form again? Again, it's just a question, you're still yelling at me.

Look, years later we saw the all of the Oakland A's kids of Zito, Hudson and Mulder move on the National League teams and fall apart. Maybe it was the National League itself, maybe it was just bad luck or bad pitching, bad training, who knows, but those three once terrific AL pitchers have all had little issues since. Although, Tim Hudson finally made it back with a great 2010.

All I'm saying is, Barry Zito could regain his Oakland form, but yes, I know, you keep yelling about it, the chance and cost of this happening would be slim. Yes, If Zito is released and the Yanks were to pick him up cheap, it MIGHT be a good idea, but so is throwing Freddy Garcia every 4th day. You know what I mean? While the names big and his stats WERE big, a great pitcher in 2011, Zito would not make. But, what do you think?

WHY DONNIE BASEBALL IS STILL MY HERO

On Tuesday, my childhood hero, Donald Arthur Mattingly, was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show. I won’t lie, I was more than excited for this. I have a hard time seeing him in a Dodger cap, but I’m really happy he has the opportunity to show his skills as a skipper.

Listening to the interview reminded me why I have a man-crush on this guy. He is always prepared, always professional and a true leader by example. In his playing days, Donnie always played hard, always ran to first (ahem Mets), and was never afraid to get dirty. He also seems to have amassed a ton of baseball knowledge. He would study pitchers and go up to the plate prepared. Granted his back gave out towards the end of his career as evidenced by the numerous batting stances throughout his playing days. But he always tried his hardest.

Most of the interview with Dan Patrick was about his new managerial role, but the one thing that stuck out for me was when Patrick asked him if he wanted his players to play as he did. Mattingly was intense, focused, driven, but most of all prepared night in and night out. Donnie’s answer was that he wanted his players to be prepared and to do their best every time out there. That’s a classy answer. He understands that all players are driven by different things and are wired differently, but as long as they do their best and put forth a team effort they will succeed.
I have numerous memories of Donnie Baseball from seeing his 6^th Grand Slam in a season sitting in the 3^rd base boxes as a kid to being at the stadium on “Don Mattingly Day” as a teenager to later, finally meeting him and shaking his hand as an adult. I wish him nothing but the greatest success and hope he returns to pinstripes someday.

WHY TIES NEED TO BE BROKEN

FIRST BASE

If there’s one thing that baseball fans hate, it’s a tie. A baseball game can never end until one team has safely touched home plate more than the other. In every play, you’re safe or you’re out. Every pitch is a strike or a ball. Quite simply, you win or you lose… you NEVER tie.

However, on the extremely rare—almost never—occasion when a tie occurs, baseball magic happens.

Most recently, the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers finished tied with the same record in 2009. Remember that classic back and forth one game playoff? If you saw it, you’ll never forget it.

How about in 1951? The New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers season ending tie was finally “resolved” with Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World.

And of course, 1978. The Yankee and the Red Sox classic one game playoff when Bucky Dent hit the ball over the big green wall and effectively ended the Red Sox season and sent them spiraling downward for almost a decade.

#3. That’s how close it is between the #3 of my First basemen countdown. Yankee first basemen, Bill “Moose” Skowron and Tino Martinez are so close in so many categories, except 1. Follow me through:

These are the actual career Yankee numbers for both players:Both won 4 World Series with the Yankees. And their World Series numbers are just as close. (I only compared World Series numbers because when Moose played, there were no playoffs unless two teams tied at the end of the regular season.)

Both batted 5th in the batting order. Now Tino did bat clean up sometimes, but was probably more comfortable where he hit most, batting fifth. Moose batted fifth for his Yankee career.

Both played most of their games with the Yanks, but did play a substantial amount of games for other teams. However, both made their name with the Yankees.

So, based on everything I just showed you, and if I had to choose just 1, I would officially give it to Tino Martinez for this reason: He replaced Don Mattingly AND became a fan favorite himself.

When Mattingly played, Yankee fans loved him. They still do. So replacing him was not going to be easy. No one was going to just come in and take Donnie Baseball’s position without some hazing. Especially if they came from the same Seattle Mariners team that knocked Donnie out of the 1995 playoffs.
On top of that, Tino had a horrible start to his first season in the Bronx. Yet Tino persevered, took the hazing, never became bitter, and not only won over the fans in the Bronx, but became a fan favorite. I'm NOT claiming that in his day Moose wasn't as loved by the Yankee faithful. Just that Tino had to do a little more to earn his Yankee love.

WHY IF YOU DON'T LIKE MINE, YOU CAN START YOUR OWN

I started this blog as a goof between me and 5 friends. Something that we could use as a rant tool when the Yanks shit the bed in a big game or if Girardi mis-managed the bullpen. We also wanted to celebrate our New York Yankees.

Soon, we sent it to a few friends to check out, then they sent it to a few more friends and then others asked about it. Then, we started reaching out to other blogs and that's where we are right now. I have readers now which is something my high school freshman Creative writing teacher swore I'd never have.
(Mrs. Chicarelli, here's to you.) So... thank you all for that.

Because of this blog, I need to be responsible, but the great thing about this blog is, I can root for my team. I am not a journalist. I read all I can and make my opinion based on my love for the New York Yankees. So for the few of you that think that I'm biased...I am...so suck it.

My Yankees are important to me. I like that I can watch a game, read about a trade move, hear about a minor league call-up and I can write about it. Rarely am I disrespectful and I always allow you guys to express your opinion back. That's what makes it great.

So, do me a favor, now that you know what I'm all about (although I thought it was clearly obvious I was rooting for the Yanks) give it another shot. If you like me, that's great, pass it on and tell the non-readers it will change their life. If you don't read me, you should give it a shot. If you hate BYB, know this, you're allowed to. All I wanted to do back in September is give my perspective, that's it.

By the way, plenty in the blog world have been extremely supportive and I want to at least give them a shout. They are here:

Bronx Baseball Daily
Bomber Boulevard
Confessions of a She-fan
Sliding into Home
Bronx Goblin
The Nutball Gazette
lenNY's Yankees
Subway Squawkers
The Yankee Scrolls
Through the Fence Baseball

Anyway, my rant is done, but Bleeding Yankee Blue continues...because of you. So thanks.

WHY NOVA AND JOBA ARE KEY

Ivan Nova: Nova is an up and comer. And as you know, I love the guy but have reservations.

Look, when he pitched against the Phillies in the spring training game last Sunday, Nova looked dynamite. He retired the 6 batters he faced in the heart of the Philadelphia lineup. That's great right? Confidence running high in Nova's head, confidence running high in the Yankee clubhouse. All is well, right? Wrong. Look, I'm not worried about Nova early on, I'm worried about Nova in 2 situations: Men on base and batters seeing him the 2nd and 3rd time around in a game.

There's no question Nova can clean house against ball clubs in the first time round the lineup. He's that good and over time he'll get better. The question is, can he be creative enough with his battery mate to offer something different the 2nd and 3rd time 'round to stay affective.
If he can do that, and keep runners to a minimum on base, he'll be a great 5th rotation guy.

I saw runners on base because, as we saw many times last September, when men get on against Nova, his confidence vanishes. Worry then affects his throws and that's when he gets into trouble. All Nova needs to do is keep his head on track and pound the strike zone. If he can do that, those pesky men on base won't be a factor. I know he can do it, many do.
Joba Chamberlain: Weights no issue, at least so far. But that's what Spring Training is all about.

Joba touched 94 mph in his 1 inning of the Spring Saturday and basically was saying to everyone "F you, Mother F'ers". You have to hand that to Joba Chamberlain, no matter what situation he's in, he will always give 110 percent...it doesn't matter if there are bugs on him, he's gained 15 pounds or he's in a situation where the bases are loaded with evil Red Sox...it just doesn't matter. He chucks it just the same.

The best part of Joba is mechanics. If he was able to figure out the mechanics of his pitching with Larry Rothschild and fix it. If he stays on that track, he will be the lethal weapon Yankee fans have been waiting for.

Most of us like Joba for his ego, confidence, whatever you want to call it. When it looks like it's missing and he starts falling off, giving up walks, key base hits, we hammer him. Why? Because Joba can be super dominant for the Yankees and we are rooting for the guy. We know he's got it. If Roth can fix this man, the world will be perfect again.

Nova and Chamberlain in my mind are the keys to the Yankees pitching. A starter and reliever who could ultimately be factors by September if they stay healthy and stay focused. The good news is, I like what I'm seeing from Rothschild already. His hands on approach can set these guys straight for a year of dominance...but it starts with them first...and it feels like it's starting already.

WHY THERE'S AN ANXIOUS CURIOSITY

Jack Curry of YES has his finger on the Liriano pulse and his sighting of what seemed to be Terry Ryan, the senior advisor to the GM for the Twins taking notes at the Yankees Pirates game today was probably spot on. Something's lingering. Read the piece HERE

The best part of Jack's post was Curry questioned Ryan about why he was there and if it had anything to do with the trade chatter of Liriano and the Yanks. Ryan said "We have people covering them. I'm not". I think he is. He said he was scouting the Pirates. I don't believe that, do you?

Why would there be crazy trade talk and suddenly Terry Ryan just happens to be covering the Pirates at the game today?

Look, I'm not the best person to ask about trade talks when it comes to Cashman, because I never believe him. And that's what makes him the master. He's a liar. That's not a bad thing, it's to get people off his trail. He said that he hasn't talked to the Twins about a Liriano trade. I say this: The rumor had to start somewhere, and it usually starts with an agent or a team or an unidentified person in a clubhouse that heard Cashman say the name "Liriano" while on his cell phone buying a hot dog next to the Steinbrenber statue in Tampa. My point is, we all didn't just decide to write about Liriano and the Yanks one morning, there's a source and my guess is, Cashman is denying what he's doing on purpose. Guess what? Let him.

I believe Liriano is coming to New York. I think the conversations with the Twins are positive and moving slow because of what the Twins want in return. Now, if you know anything about Brian Cashman, you know he's a genius when it comes to unloading players that won't upset the fan base. It's tactical and it's brilliant. But who? Stay tuned.

WHY JETER WILL CONQUER AGAIN

We all know Derek Jeter is harder on himself than we are on him and last year's .270 Average clearly bothered Derek, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the steps needed to change his swing and work with the hitting God, Kevin Long.

Work ethic and Jeter go hand and hand and while many of us were surprised by his .270 Average, we know it's not the norm and we know we don't need to panic... we're talking about Derek Jeter, not Steve Balboni.

So, yesterday against the Tigers, Jeter officially unveiled his "less moving parts" stance and eliminated his stride from his swing. Yes, t hat means he'll have an extra beat he'll need to wait before he swings. Tricky, especially if you're not used to doing it that way. Jeter will need to be more patient at the plate now. Even Derek admits he has to figure out when to swing because of the extra time. He said:"You have more time because there's no stride."

No one believes Derek Jeter's days are over in Yankeeland, No one, especially Derek and if that means reinventing himself, he will. Spring Training is the time to work out these kinks, but in the end, if he can keep the stride out of his swing, if he can stop the movement in his front foot and get a rhythm to swing the bat, there is no doubt Jeter will be in Jeter form by May.

Kevin Long said the Bergen Record: "It's going to take time." Correct. Jeter's been batting the same way since high school. Don't believe me? Check out this video I found on You Tube. You can't see his face super clearly but you know Jeter's mannerisms and you know his swing. Take a look. He's number 13, the number his father once wore:

Think about this for a second, because of Derek's age, and with age comes slowness. Long noticed those things in his swing, plus the moving parts. Long "tweaked" Jeet a bit, but Jeet's been swinging that way for over 20 years, so logically, Derek will need an adjustment period. He's basically reinventing himself. Less moving parts, quicker bat to the ball. That, is no easy task, but if anyone can do it, Derek can. He will conquer again.

WHY GOD MADE YOGI A YANKEE

CATCHERS

“Why has our pitching been so great? Our catcher - that's why. He looks cumbersome but he's quick as a cat." — Casey Stengel

1. Yogi Berra. Berra was short, ugly and the best Yankees catcher ever, bottom line. He won 3 MVP's in 1951, 1954 and 1955 and 4 times he finished 4^th or better in the MVP voting. He never led the league in any offensive category. Not once in his career. Interesting stat, right? In fact, during his 3 MVP years, only one time was he even close to winning any batting statistic. It was 1954 when he lost the RBI title to Larry Doby by one RBI, 126 (Doby) to 125 (Berra).

HITTING: Yogi had no strike zone. This was not due to his physique and the fact that he would swing at any pitch at any time. So he’d strike out a lot, right? Wrong. Five seasons he had more home runs than strikeouts. And in those seasons, he hit 25 or more home runs. For his career, Yogi Berra hit 358 HR's and struck out 414 times.

But, despite not posting monster numbers, he still was considered the most important player in the league. And here's something you probably didn't know. For a while, Yogi batted fourth in the lineup, behind Mickey Mantle. Yeah, the stubby little catcher and provided protection for the strongest and biggest of Yankees.

CATCHING: The greatest catcher in Yankees history may have been the greatest left fielder in Yankees history had it not been for the help he got from Bill Dickey. Early in his career, there was a lot of doubt about Berra’s catching ability, especially his inability to throw runners out. But Dickey taught Yogi the tricks of the trade. Yogi may have never possessed a cannon for an arm, but he learned to call an excellent game.

Up until the 1920's, the stolen base was a HUGE offensive weapon. However, in the 1920's up to the 1960's, the home run became a more important offensive weapon while the stolen base decreased in value. Once pitching started to dominate the 1960's, the stolen base returned. But by then, Yogi’s catching days were over.

So why do I have Yogi at number one? Winning. Berra played 18 seasons for the New York Yankees. In 14 of those seasons, he played in the World Series. His teams won ten. He’s won more than any player in baseball history.

Casey Stengel described Berra and his luck by saying, "He'd fall in a sewer and come up with a gold watch." That was Yogi. Sure there’s some truth to Casey’s quip. There was the luck of playing at a certain time and playing for a great team. It’s the age old question of whether the moment makes the man or the man makes the moment. I don’t know the answer to that question, but what I do know is this, you win year after year after year by being the best and learning how to win. You MUST learn how to win. You don’t win all those World Series by luck.

Yogi ended his career in a perfectly “Yogi” way. In his final game, Yogi played all 9 innings as catcher… for New York Mets. Wait… it gets even better. The opposing team’s catcher? Joe Torre!

HONORABLE MENTION

Elston Howard. Unfortunately, baseball’s color barrier existed. but, it was beginning to be eliminated by 1947 with Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby. In 1955, the Yankees picked Elston Howard to be the man to break the Yankee color barrier. You don’t just pick any player to do this. His career numbers are very good and he should be pointed out. Interestingly enough, even though Howard is best known as a catcher and played more games at catcher than any other position, he only played 100 or more games at catcher for 5 of his 14 season.

Footnote: One thing I’d like to avoid is listing reasons why a player(s) did not make the list. Inevitably, you wind up tearing apart a player and his career. HOWEVER, once the top 3 are rated, if you’d like to make the case for a player you feel should be on this list, please do. I’d enjoy reading your comments.
