Early returns through 14 games

http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2011/04/18/early-returns-through-14-games/

Fourteen games into the regular season, 22 Yankees have played fairly
significant roles as everyday players, starting pitchers, crucial relievers
or reserves with legitimate playing time.

Most of those 22 have gotten off to well-defined starts. They’re either
playing well or they’re not.

Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Russell Martin, Eric Chavez, Andruw Jones, CC
Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, Bartolo Colon, Dave Robertson and Freddy Garcia are
undeniably playing well at this point. Sabathia deserves a better record,
Robertson had one wild inning and some of these guys have been only part-time
players, but this group has done it part.

Brett Gardner, Derek Jeter, Phil Hughes and Ivan Nova have struggled. Nova
showed some promise in his first start but hasn’t pitched out of the fifth
since, and Jeter hit .300 during the most recent home stand, but his overall
production has looked a lot like last year.

That leaves eight Yankees having somewhat uneven starts to the season.

Mark Teixeira — Overall Teixeira’s raw production has been good. He leads
the team in runs, home runs and RBI. He’s certainly not off to a bad start,
but he did go through one seven-game stretch with only three hits and one
RBI. That’s half the season to this point.

Joba Chamberlain — Before last night I might have included Chamberlain among
the players off to strong starts. Last night’s outing, though, gives him
three shaky outings in nine appearances. Like Teixeira, Chamberlain hasn’t
been bad by any means — and I have to think the Yankees are encouraged by
Chamberlain’s overall performance — but he’s been prone to blowups here
and there. Nothing especially bad, just occasionally uneven.

Jorge Posada — Is this the strangest start for any of the Yankees? Posada
has just seven hits in 43 at-bats, but five of those hits have been home runs
and he’s drawn seven walks. Clearly this is not the best start on record,
but it might be the best .163 batting average on record.

A.J. Burnett — Three starts. Three wins. Absolutely no one is going to
complain about Burnett at this point, but it’s worth acknowledging two
things: 1. Burnett was also terrific last April, and we all know how that
worked out; 2. Burnett has a 4.67 ERA that proves he hasn’t been quite
perfect.

Curtis Granderson — The good: Granderson is hitting .333/.333/.933 against
lefties. The bad: He’s hitting .194/.286/.387 against right-handers.
Granderson’s history suggests he’ll turn things around against the
right-handers. Can he keep this success going against the lefties?

Nick Swisher – He has yet to hit a home run this season, and he has just two
extra-base hits. During the most recent home stand, though, Swisher hit .333
with a .389 on-base percentage. He also has eight RBI, the same number as
five-homer Posada. The bat is starting to show some life, and with Swisher
the home runs will surely come, but he didn’t do much through the first week
and a half.

Boone Logan – Logan is probably guy I was closest to including in the list
of struggling Yankees, but  he’s redeemed himself a little bit in his past
two outings. He’s had three pretty bad outings and two pretty good outings.

Rafael Soriano – You might remember a couple of unthinkably bad outings from
Soriano. He’s pitched seven times this season, and he pitched a scoreless
inning in five of them. In the other two, he allowed four hits, four walks
and been charged with six runs. That’s as uneven as it gets.
