It is week 3 and we went 4-3

Well an ok week for the Yankees as they split a quick set with the D'Rays before going over to Canada to win twice. A weekend home stand with the Texas Rangers saw a bad Friday and Saturday before a Sunday victory gave the Yankees their first winning week of the young season.

Positives

A-Rod has started to heat up. With 9 RBI's and 2 dingers with a .357 BA, they are the type of numbers that the Yankees expect from this guy.

I know this guy only played yesterday but the addition of Andy Phillips to the line-up was massive. A bit of fresh blood always gives a team new impetus and a HR and a double will always help.

My boy Jorge finally hitting a Home Run and finding his stroke. Hitting at .400 for the week is nice going and with Bernie too hitting well but without any power, they are starting to perform how we had hoped.

I'm struggling to find a pitching plus so by default it goes to Carl Pavano for a solid outing in Toronto. Wasn't anything special but it was ok.

Negatives

This Wright bloke (2-2 9.15), just how awful is he? Off to the DL and I doubt many Yankee fans are too upset. We signed this guy over Jon Lieber (4-0 2.73) and El Duque (2-1 2.50). What more can I say?

Yankee favourite Tino Martinez has a .280 OBP over the past seven days and I can't ignore that. It is simply below par.

Finally for the negatives we'll go with Kevin Brown in the early innings. Once he settles down he's good, but that just seems to be too late. Maybe he needs to alter his warm-up?
