Baseball’s Savior

Well, he worked in 2011.  The Yankees shored up their rotation by bringing back Freddy Garcia.  Any time you can sign someone to a one year deal, it’s worth taking  a shot on and the Yankees are looking to pay Garcia between $4 and $5 million in 2012.  Garcia was solid in 25 starts and he finished with a 12-8 record and a 3.62 ERA.  Now it’s time to get another piece or two.

I like Mark Buehrle.  He’s less popular then C.J. Wilson but not many pitchers have been as reliable as Mark Buehrle the past ten or so seasons.  Roy Oswalt is also out there and he could be an interesting pickup since the Yankees seem to like bringing guys back for one last hurrah.

They also have some home grown talent who might compete for a rotation spot.  Hector Noesi is out there as is Dellin Betances.  I’d still like to pick up a veteran but Ivan Nova worked so could one of these other guys.

Winter meetings are coming up and the pieces will start together. I better pick up some Yankees tickets now before they sell out.

Now that the exciting 2011 season has come to an end with the St. Louis Cardinals named the World Series champions and arguably the underdog of the year, it’s time to get planning for the 2012 MLB season. It’s never too soon to lock down seats to a baseball game with 2012 MLB tickets, especially when big teams are looking even better, like the New York Yankees schedule. Spring training kicks off in just three short months and the regular season begins shortly after that. Big Yankees games on the schedule this year include Yankees at Red Sox on April 21, Los Angeles Angels at Yankees on April 14, and Red Sox at Yankees on July 27. Keep an eye out for those precious baseball stadium seats and start counting down the days til the first pitch of the 2012 season is thrown!
