Yankees Notes: Pineda, Ibanez, Willis

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | March 16, 2012 at 11:10am CDT

The Yankees have averaged more than 97 regular season wins per year since 1996. Here's the latest on the 2012 club via Joel Sherman of the New York Post…

  • Yankees officials say Michael Pineda is a hard worker and his teammates say he’s mixing in well, Sherman reports. There’s been some concern about Pineda’s velocity and conditioning this spring, but Sherman points out that it’s wise to avoid definitive statements based on Spring Training information.
  • The Yankees say they aren’t worried about Raul Ibanez’s spring struggles, Sherman tweets. Ibanez has been facing more left-handed pitching than he will during the regular season.
  • The Yankees offered Dontrelle Willis a minor league deal this offseason, Sherman tweets. The Yankees might look into signing Willis, who was released by the Phillies this morning.

    Man, Dontrelle was so cool in his prime, that old school leg kick with the wacky delivery. Usually I hate when guys hang around for way too long, but I really hope he figures it out again someday

    I’d love to see Dtrain & his flat brimmed hat in Pinstripes. Get it done Yanks.
    Always good to have lefties.

     Oh no! our number eight hitter in the lineup might stink! We lost all hope of winning this season!

      But who do you replace him with? Damon? Vlad? Internal?

        I would lean towards a guy like Eduardo Nunez. I truly believe that Nunez could be a quality starter in this league and is not  one-dimensional player like Ibanez or Jones.

         Núñez is a good option, but if later in the season there is a chance to acquire either Daniel Murphy and/or Kyle Blanks, I’d take it.

    The downward spiral for Dontrelle started when he started to gain weight. His delivery has too many moving parts and with an altered body, things change. Control went away as his mechanics changed.

    That said, minor deal for him as a bullpen guy (long relief?) wouldn’t be so bad.
