NAME THAT YANK! This Mexican born RHP spent a good 6 years as a yank where he started in the most games of his Yankee career in a single season his initial year. At a point where a different pitcher by the same first name and he, picked up starts due to injury, he played with Tanaka-san.

NAME THAT YANK! Known for his bat speed & his stylish cleats, he was a Yankee for 5 of his 7 years in the majors. Never playing in 70+ games in a season, this man had an epic first at bat & hit 12 homers one season. He was part of a trade that sent a great relief pitcher to CLE.

Chris Capuano was also in that trade. He pitched in 34 games (16 starts) for us between 2014 and 2015. Chad Moeller was also in that trade. He played in 41 games in 2008 and 9 in 2010 for the Yanks. We’re just naming Yanks left and right here and no one on this app seems to care 😭

NAME THAT YANK! Despite his long career, his two years as a Yank are what we remember mostly, especially his ALCS performance. In 2 game starts in the ALCS, he threw 3.1 IP to a 21.60 ERA against Boston. Hated since, he is one of the names that get brought up when we talk about the JD’s of the Yank.

NAME THAT YANK! This beloved Yankee was a LHB who won one Gold Glove. Starting and ending his career as a Yankee (which many believe he should never have been traded) this man spent 13 of his 17 years in the majors with us and had 5 consecutive AS appearances. Traded for a great dad.
