New York Yankees Theory on Plan B Signing of Catcher Russell Martin

The New York Yankees have to divert whatever attention is left from all the Cliff Lee drama, but there is no denying the painful disappointment still lingers.1.�� From veteran Jorge Posada to top prospects Austin Romaine and Jesus Montero, as well as current back-up Francisco Cervelli, Yankees have a plethora of uncertain players to fill the catcher position.

In 2009, Posada, with 16 seasons and 39 years of age under his belt, had it all catch up to him. Cervelli was a productive hitter at the start of last season, but like Posada couldn’t hold runners on base, throwing out 14 percent of attempted basestealers.

The statistics line CC Sabathia 9210 Night

I think it's safe to say that the New York Yankees don't miss the old Yankee Stadium. They have the best home record in the American League and have won 16 straight in "new" Yankee Stadium. It helps when you have a big gun like CC Sabathia on the mound. Those wins just seem to pile up.

Sabathia dominated the A's last night. He allowed just one hit over 8 innings, struck out 5 and needed just 95 pitches to notch his league-leading 19th victory of the season. He also eclipsed 200 innings pitched for the fourth straight season. He's a lock to get to 20 wins this season -- something he has yet to do over his brilliant career. He's had 19 twice before.
