Jorge Posada, C: (C-) After a day off Monday, Posada went 1-3 with a run scored Tuesday before leaving the game with a "dead arm." It sure looked that way as he allowed three stolen bases.
Morgan Ensberg, 1B: (A) 1-3 with a run scored on Monday. Too bad he didn't get the start on Tuesday.
Jason Giambi, 1B: (D-) Instead, the Giamzero was back on Tuesday, going 0-2 with two walks and double clutching a ball in the field, which turned a pick off into a stolen base.
He's now hitting a stellar .071. The Yankees are 2-4 with him playing, 2-0 without him.
Let's not forget they also won four World Series in the six years prior to his arrival. None in the six years since.
Mike Mussina, SP: (A) I'll give credit where it's due. A great bounce back start for the Moose on Monday. He holds off the Joba whispers for now.
Phil Hughes, SP: (D) Hughes went the opposite direction. After a good first start, the young pitcher couldn't find the strike zone on Tuesday, walking four batters and lasting just three innings.
He was able to work out of some jams though and gave up "just" three runs.
Brian Bruney, RP: (A-) A one, two, ouch!, three inning on Monday.
Kyle Farnsworth, RP: (A) Farnsworth is a great five-run lead pitcher. Sometimes.
LaTroy Hawkins, RP: (A-) If Joba's the setup man and Mo's the closer in close games, what do we call Farnsworth and Hawkins who pitch the eighth and ninth in games decided by four runs or more?
Ross Ohlendorf, RP: (F) First bad outing of the year for Ross. His claim to the prestigious title of fourth best relief pitcher on the team is slipping away.
Billy Traber, RP: (A-)Traber grabs the title for now.
Overall Yankees Grade: (C-) Win one and lose one, but they looked awfully bad Tuesday striking out 11 times. At least I have Brian Bannister on my fantasy team.
