Assessing the Yankee trade chips
So, in my Huston Street love letter the other day I promised you a look what potential trade chips our New York Yankees had at their disposal. Let's do that today. So, let's start with a dose of reality. I have been a Yankee fan for a loooooong time, and I know there are plenty of fans out there...

Editor's Note: Please visit OTM's sister site AthleticsNation.com for all your A's coverage.These ain't your daddy's Oakland A's.

Thursday Rockpile: Huston Street wins closer role, Corpas velocity a concern
Troy Renck's sources say that Huston Street has nudged out Manny Corpas in the role of ninth inning reliever. The report does have some troubling news in two mph drop in the speed of Corpas' sinker. He's been effective this Spring even without the velo, but this will be something to watch going...
Dodgers 8, Rockies 6
A near perfect afternoon of work by Todd Helton (three for three plus two walks, two RBI and two runs), Ryan Speier and Huston Street was overshadowed by a bad fourth inning by Jorge De La Rosa. JDLR could have been included in the kudos had he not given up five runs then, the only blemish against...
Saturday Rockpile: Offseason in Review, Hurdle keeps quiet about the closers, Hawpe to return today.
The Rockies are the subject of MLBTradeRumors.com's latest entry of their Offseason In Review series. Tim Dierkes, the author of the article, says that despite the loss of Holliday, the Rockies should score more runs this year because of a mix of the assumption that Tulo and Atty will bounce back,...

Sunday Rockpile
Patrick Saunders caught up with Ubaldo Jimenez and stirs the pot a bit by making it sound as if he may be unprepared for the season. A few days before departing for spring training, Ubaldo Jimenez seemed a million miles away from baseball. "I'm just enjoying all my time with my family and...
Thursday Rockpile:
Thomas Harding has done some digging on the failed Taveras for Redding swap, and implies that the health concerns that eighty-sixed the deal were with Rockies right-hander Juan Morillo, who was to be included in the Rockies package. Harding also has a pretty decent rundown of the status of various...
Friday Rockpile: Delmon Young for Huston Street?
So my dilemma about what to write on Saturday solved itself as yesterday I wound up too busy (I actually had real life company, woot!) to finish the bench/depth projections, so expect that today and the summary piece tomorrow. HOT STOVE ALERT! HOT STOVE ALERT! Right now, as a Rockies fan,...
Sunday Rockpile: Tulowitzki Recovers, Embree still on the radar
Troy Tulowitzki's leg appears to be finally fully recovered after his early season quadriceps tear according to an update from Troy E. Renck. While Renck mentions how important this is for Tulo's offense, his defense also suffered pretty badly and the Rockies need both sides to be at full strength...
