New York Yankees Tickets - A Different Kind Of Offseason

After missing the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade in 2008, the New York Yankees hit the offseason in the winter of 2009 with a thick wallet and spent approximately half a billion dollars on three players (over the course of their collective contracts).  The team shelled out major bucks to hurlers C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, as well as first baseman Mark Teixeira, in an obvious bid to return to the World Series.  That offseason reeked of the reckless spending that has made the team so many enemies across the baseball landscape over the past decade, but did net the organization its 27th World Series title.  Following the 2009 season, the Yankees again made a number of offseason moves, but moves of a different kind.

Instead of making more expensive free agent splashes this offseason, New York went a more traditional route, acquiring players via trade and smaller signings.  They didn't grab big names that will sell loads of <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/new-york-yankees-tickets/">New York Yankees tickets</a>, but instead acquired solid professionals that should help the club in their bid for a repeat as champions.  This winter the Yankees took a much less flashy and more financially responsible route in shoring up their roster.

The biggest move the team made was acquiring outfielder Curtis Granderson in a three-team trade with Detroit and Arizona.  The Yanks shipped minor league prospects Austin Jackson and Ian Kennedy out of town in order to acquire Granderson in a move that should help the club a lot.  Granderson gives the team a good defensive centerfielder that can also hit.  Though he won't wow you with his batting average, Granderson boasts a lot of power for a guy of his stature and will bring added speed to the Yankee lineup.

The 29-year-old hit 30 home runs, drove in 71 runs and stole 20 bases in 160 games for Detroit last season.  He should see his power numbers increase in the lefty-friendly Yankee Stadium this season as well.  While Jackson was a tantalizing prospect, Granderson is a proven commodity that brings versatility to the table in New York.

A less-heralded move was the deal that brought Javier Vasquez back to the Bronx.  Vasquez struggled in his first stint in pinstripes, but he's not the same pitcher that he was in 2004.  The veteran hurler is coming off his best season in the majors, in which he went 15-10 with a 2.87 ERA and 238 strikeouts in 219 innings for Atlanta.  He should be one of the best third starters in the league this season, despite pitching in the American League East.  With Sabathia, Burnett and Vasquez atop the Yankee rotation, the club boasts a string of power pitchers that would be the envy of any organization.

The Yanks also brought back another former player when they landed Nick Johnson this offseason.  Johnson will DH for the team and should end up hitting in the two-hole.  A former top prospect in the Yankee farm system, Johnson never got a fair shake in New York, as he was traded early on in his big league career.  Johnson is an on-base machine, putting up a .426 on-base percentage with the Nationals last season.  He should score plenty of runs, despite his lack of speed, hitting ahead of such sluggers as Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez.

The team made another good move in re-signing left-hander Andy Pettitte to fill the fourth spot in rotation.  Pettitte can still pitch, evidenced by his respectable 4.16 ERA in 2009, which was good enough to earn him 14 wins last season.  He's no longer capable of dominating hitters, but he's more than serviceable in the fourth spot in the rotation.

The Yankees recently filled the final rotation spot with 23-year-old right-hander Phil Hughes.  Hughes has electric stuff and could develop into a number two – perhaps even a number one – starter in the future.  He found success as the setup man for closer Mariano Rivera in 2009.  A rotation of Sabathia, Burnett, Vasquez, Pettitte and Hughes gives the Yankees one of the best starting staffs in the majors.  Plugging Hughes in the fifth spot also allows the Yanks to make Joba Chamberlain the setup man, a role in which he thrived in just a couple of years ago.

The Yankees appear to be the favorite to win it all again in 2010, but they retained that distinction without a flashy offseason filled with high-priced talent acquisitions.  The team built this year's club through a more traditional offseason, one that should keep this club atop the American League East.  Though their core is full of high-priced All-Stars, this team deserves some respect for the fine offseason they put together.

Yankee Leviathan $42 This book describes the impact of the American Civil War on the development of central state authority in the late nineteenth century. The author contends that intense competition for control of the national political economy between the free North and slave South produced secession, which in turn spawned the formation of two new states, a market-oriented northern Union and a southern Confederacy in which government controls on the economy were much more important. During the Civil War, the American state both expanded and became the agent of northern economic development. After the war ended, however, tension within the Republican coalition led to the abandonment of Reconstruction and to the return of former Confederates to political power throughout the South. As a result, American state expansion ground to a halt during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book makes a major contribution to the understanding of the causes and consequences of the Civil War and the legacy of the war in the twentieth century.

Yankee Come Home (Paperback) $38.04 Yankee Come Home explores one family`s history in Cuba, and through it, the intense, complex, smoldering relationship between the island nation and its leviathan neighbor.In Cuba`s most entrancing, storied landscape, William Craig is searching for a history that his family has lost-and now needs to recover. He`s looking for the truth about his mysterious great-grandfather, Thomas O`Brien, a self-proclaimed hero of the "splendid little war" who left a legacy of glorious, painful lies. Living a dream that haunts American hearts-the dream of escaping the past, of becoming who we say we are-"Papa" died leaving his own children wondering who he`d really been.Along the way, Craig searches for the place where Gilded Age America abandoned republican ideals in favor of imperial ambition-and where his own generation of Americans now preside over arbitrary imprisonment and systematized torture. "I needed to see Guantánamo the way some Americans needed to drive through the night to kneel at JFK`s coffin, and others are drawn to Ground Zero," he writes. "Sometimes, we don`t know what we`ve lost until we trace the scars." Traveling with Craig, readers will join in present-day adventures: spirit-possession rituals, black market odysseys, roots-music epiphanies, and discovering the continuing impact of the war in 1898 on both Cuba and America.The story of the United States in Cuba is fascinating, but none too flattering. Like the reality of "Papa" O`Brien`s identity, it reflects more hubris than heroism, more avarice than sacrifice. In the end, however, Craig`s journey in Yankee Come Home is a transformation from disillusionment to redemption.

The Yankee Years (Hardcover) $36.59 Twelve straight playoff appearances. Six American League pennants. Four World Series titles. This is the definitive story of a dynasty: the Yankee years. When Joe Torre took over as manager of the New York Yankees in 1996, the most storied franchise in sports had not won a World Series title in eighteen years. The famously tough and mercurial owner, George Steinbrenner, had fired seventeen managers during that span. Torre¿s appointment was greeted with Bronx cheers from the notoriously brutal New York media, who cited his record as the player and manager who had been in the most Major League games without appearing in a World Series. Twelve tumultuous and triumphant years later, Torre left the team as the most beloved and successful manager in the game. In an era of multimillionaire free agents, fractured clubhouses, revenue-sharing, and off-the-field scandals, Torre forged a team ethos that united his players and made the Yankees, once again, the greatest team in sports. He won over the media with his honesty and class, and was beloved by the fans.
