El lanzador mexicano Alfredo Aceves, quien celebra sus 26 años el martes ocho, y el venezolano Jesús Montero, de 19 años y receptor, figuran entre los jóvenes a ocupar en próximas fechas sitios en la alineación de los Yankees.

De Aceves, un veterano de seis temporadas en México con los Leones de Yucatán, por donde dejó record de 36-24, 4.01, dicen las informaciones de las menores de los Yankees, que "tira el mejor cambio de todos los pitchers de las sucursales de la organización". Y Baseball América lo ubicó séptimo entre los mejores prospectos del equipo.

Acusan de Racista a Omar Minaya

by Juan Vene | Monday 12/1/08 10:52 AM EDT

Filed Under: Béisbol

Mientras los Mets tratan de firmar al cerrador Francisco Rodríguez, el gerente-general de la organización, Omar Minaya, ha sido acusado por algunos periodistas sajones de racista, por armar un róster con preferencia por los bigleaguers latinoamericanos. La respuesta del dominicano ha sido que solo trata de poner en el terreno al equipo que considera puede ganar, dentro del presupuesto que dispone la organización.

Entre los peloteros de los Mets han figurado o figuran los latinoamericanos Carlos Delgado, Luis Castillo, José Reyes, Fernando Tatis, Carlos Beltrán, Endy Chávez, Ramón Castro, Óliver Pérez, Johán Santana, Pedro Martínez, Pedro Feliciano, Duaner Sánchez, Luis Ayala, Jorge Sosa, Claudio Vargas y Antonio Armas.

Angustiosa Situación de los Yankees 2009

by Juan Vene | Thursday 11/27/08 02:47 PM EDT

Filed Under: Béisbol

Ya los Yankees no son el equipo más visto de las Grandes Ligas. Ese lugar lo ocupan ahora los Medias Rojas, quienes este año llevaron a los estadios como visitantes un promedio de 38 mil 367 personas por juego. Eso es igual a dos mil más que los segundos en esos números, los Cachorros.

Los Yankees viven su peor momento desde que en 1973 George Steinbrenner adquirió la franquicia. Y es paradójico, ya que se supone que el valor del equipo en el mercado es el más elevado en la historia del beisbol, mil 60 millones de dólares.

De ser los Mejores a ser los Peores

by Juan Vene | Wednesday 11/26/08 06:16 PM EDT

Filed Under: Béisbol, Deportes en la Tele

Los Tigres de Detroit necesitaron dos temporadas para descender desde la posición de mejores de la Liga Americana hasta la de peores de la División Central.

Los análisis después del desastre, han llevado a los ejecutivos en las oficinas de Detroit a la conclusión de que para recuperarse de tal fracaso, necesitan relevistas, un receptor y un shortsop. Pero no quieren invertir nada grande.

En todo caso, con honorarios para los peloteros de 2008 por 137 millones 685 mil 196 dólares, de los más altos presupuestos de ambas Ligas, cada victoria les costó esta vez un millón 900 mil dólares. Hace solo cuatro años, en 2004, cada juego ganado les salió por 700 mil dólares.

La Dura Verdad sobre Bob Abreu-Yankees

by Juan Vene | Monday 11/24/08 08:33 PM EDT

Filed Under: Béisbol

Las fanáticas y los fanáticos no tienen por qué ser objetivos...¡Que vivan los fanáticos subjetivos!

Las fanáticas y los fanáticos no tienen por qué conocer cómo son los negocios, o sea, los intereses económicos que se manejan dentro de las organizaciones de las Grandes Ligas.

Por eso es permisible que tantos amigos lectores hayan escrito lo que han escrito acerca de mi blog sobre Bob Abreu, a quien no quieren en en el róster de los Yankees. Pero no lo quieren simplemente porque
"no es negocio" para la organización. Simplemente. Si se quedan con él será solo vía arbitraje. No es racismo, ni capricho, ni nada parecido. Es negocio.

De 50 Centavos a 40 Mil y Mas Dolares

Cuando Yankees y Mets venden las suites de sus nuevos estadios, de 10 asientos, por 40 mil y más dólares, según la ubicación, y solo por una temporada, se cumplen 150 años de la primera vez que se cobró por ver un juego de pelota.

Ocurrió el 18 de julio de 1858, en Jamaica, Nueva York, exactamente en el Fashion Race Course, un famoso hipódromo de entonces, cuyo centro de la pista se preparó para el encuentro. Los New York All Star les ganaron a los Brooklyn Nine 22-18.

Por Que los Yankees no
Quieren a Bob Abreu

by Juan Vene | Friday 11/21/08 04:28 PM EDT

Filed Under: Béisbol

La pregunta lógica cuando los Yankees no han re-firmado a Bob Abreu, sino que le ofrecieron arbitraje, es ¿por qué?.

Primeramente, los planes son negociarlo de todas maneras al comenzar la campaña 2009, o antes de ser posible. En segundo lugar, es la nueva política que tratan de establecer todos los equipos.

Abreu, aragüeño de 34 años, ha aparecido en 13 temporadas de Grandes Ligas, en las cuales ha bateado para 298 (296 este año), con total 241 jonrones, promedio de poco más de 18 por campaña. Es decir,
no es ningún estelar con el bate, y guante en mano, es más cuestionable que alabable. Su mal fildeo ha sido causa de más de una debacle en juegos de los Yankees.
