• Taking top spot

    After completing a 3 game sweep of the Orioles, and 3 game sweep of the Red Sox by the Texas Rangers, the Yankees have jumped out to a 2 game lead in the AL east.

    A quick turn around from the 3 game deficit they took into the All Star break. Top quality starting pitching is largely responsible for the Yankees turn around, timely hitting hasn’t hurt either.

    The Red Sox made some moves on Wednesday, that brought Adam LaRoche and Chris Duncan to the club, while no team has jumped on the available Roy Halladay, who’s price might be just too high.

    The Yankees traded for Eric Hinske last month, but with Wang making little progress in his recovery from a shoulder strain, adding a little extra insurance to the rotation may be a good idea.
