Los cuatro miembros principales de la rotación de abridores: el boricua Vázquez, C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett y Andy Pettitte ganará $64 millones por sus servicios en el 2010. Unos cuatro equipos (completos) de las Grandes Ligas costaron alrededor de eso en el 2009.
Los Yankees accionaron otra vez el gatillo. Ganaron el título de la Serie Mundial pasada y por lo que se ve están pensando en otro. De acuerdo con reportes de prensa de Nueva York, los Bombarderos del Bronx acaban de adquirir al serpentinero boricua Javier Vázquez, en una transacción con los Bravos de Atlanta, que recibirán, entre otros, al dominicano Melky Cabrera.No será la primera ocasión en la que Vázquez se coloca el uniforme tradicional a rayas. En el 2004 estuvo en la Gran Manzana y aunque terminó con una efectividad un tanto alta -4.91- se fue con balance ganador 14-10, y lo más importante, tuvo un WHIP -promedio de hombres que se le embasan por inning- de 1.28, una cifra sólida.
No podía haber una mejor Serie Mundial que la que empieza este miércoles en el Yankee Stadium. Filis y Yankees son los mejores clubes de sus respectivas ligas y están listos para iniciar una definición que muchos analistas señalan posee todos los elementos para convertirse en un Clásico de Otoño épico.Todos hablan del duelo entre Ryan Howard y Alex Rodríguez, pero la realidad es que creo que esto se va definir más bien por el mano a mano que tendrán Cliff Lee y CC Sabathia, quienes pudieran enfrentarse hasta tres veces. Ambos comandan sendos cuerpos de pitcheo, que al final, como todo en la pelota, debería determinar el ganador de esta serie, más aún tomando en cuenta, que ninguno de estos equipos está supuesto a tener problemas ofensivos con las alineaciones que presentan.

Los Yankees no son el equipo más visto de las Grandes Ligas. Son los Medias Rojas, quienes en 2008 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 1973, cuando George Steinbrenner adquirió la franquicia. Y es paradójico, porque el valor del equipo en el mercado es el más elevado en la historia del beisbol, mil 60 millones de dólares.
De paso, los Medias Rojas fueron titulados la Mejor Organización de las 30.
Por eso, para sustituír a Mike Mussina y a Andy Pettitte, tuvieron que

Todo equipo de Grandes Ligas necesita siempre pitcheo. Muy pocas veces ha habido, a la vez, una rotación que se califique de completa y un bullpén sin huecos.
Por ejemplo, una rotación con cinco estelares puede ser coja porque tenga solo un zurdo, cuando necesita dos.
