Player Notes
May 7, 2008

May 2, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang became the American League's first six-game winner, ending the Yankees' three-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
April 27, 2008
Yankee RHP Chien-Ming Wang had his best game working today, going seven full innings to hold the Cleveland Indians scoreless on just four hits allowed. Wang collected an impressive NINE strike outs on the day and walked just two, making 73 of 113 total pitches count for strikes.
April 22, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang scattered 10 hits and improved to 4-0 with a win over the White Sox on Tuesday night. The right-hander allowed three runs, walked two, and struck out five over six innings.
April 22, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang will look to remain unbeaten when he takes the mound against the White Sox in Chicago tonight, according to MLB.com. Wang is 3-0 this season, and is notably 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three career starts at US Cellular Field.
April 16, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang had his first brutal outing of the season as he was tagged for nine hits and three walks which led to eight runs in four innings.
April 16, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang is off to a 3-0 start (with a 1.23 ERA) and is set to battle the Red Sox for the second time this season tonight, according to MLB.com. He notably threw a two-hit complete game in his previous outing against Boston.
April 11, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang was magnificent on Friday as he needed just 93 pitches to hurl a CG victory over the Red Sox. Wang permitted two hits and one run on a solo HR. Wang improved to 3-0 while lowering his ERA to 1.23 as his sinker just keeps on sinking and missing the sweet spot of bats.
April 11, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang is going for his third win of the season tonight on the road against the rival Red Sox, according to MLB.com. He has dominated over his first two outings while maintaining a 1.38 ERA, but tonight's game won't be quite as easy, as he holds a 2-3 record and 6.17 ERA at Fenway Park. He last faced Boston on September 15 at Fenway Park, while suffering the loss in a 10-1 blow out. He surrendered five runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings. The Yankees could be without team leader Derek Jeter, to make it even harder on him.
April 1, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang picked up the win in the final home opener at Yankee Stadium Tuesday, limiting the Blue Jays to two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two. He retired 13 on the ground versus five in the air. Wang isn't super fantasy option because of his lack of Ks, but he's sure to pile up wins again this season.
March 26, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang was off his game against Philadelphia on Wednesday as he allowed four runs on six hits over five innings of work, with two walks and two strikeouts. His spring ERA climbs to 8.04 and the Yankees must be displeased with their top of the rotation starter right now.
March 21, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang will be the Yankees starting on opening day after back-to-back 19 win seasons, this according to ESPN. There is no denying the guy is a winner on the field, but his fantasy value is limited by terrible strikeout numbers and merely a solid WHIP. Wang is a 3-4 fantasy starter, not the 1-2 that he is often drafted to be.
March 12, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang bounced back from a putrid Grapefruit League outing last week with a solid performance versus a team he typically struggles against. According to MLB.com the sinkerballing right-hander broke two bats and limited Toronto to a pair of singles, reaching his pitch count after 3 2/3 innings. "I'm still not 100 percent," Wang said. "I'm still not in game shape. But I'll get better." Wang is undervalued this March. The average draft position for the Yankees' opening day starter is the middler rounds of traditional formats. This from a guy who has back-to-back 19-win seasons.
March 8, 2008
RHP Chien-Ming Wang threw 75-pitches during a 25-minute bullpen session two days after allowing six runs in two-thirds of an inning against Cincinnati Reds, according to the Associated Press. The expected opening-day starter worked on the balance point of his delivery. "Better at the end," Wang said. Following such a troubled outing, it is understandable that concerns follow. It is still early, but Wang is the projected starter for opening day and the rotation is one of the more significant worries for the Yanks this season. Stay tuned.
March 6, 2008
After throwing two scoreless innings on Saturday, Chien-Ming Wang couldn't escape the first inning on Thursday vs. the Reds. The Yankees right-hander gave up six runs in 2/3rds of an inning, throwing 32 pitches to 11 hitters. Cincinnati scored six times in the bottom of the first.
March 1, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang tossed two scoreless innings on Saturday, allowing but one hit and registering one strike out. Wang, who is currently the Yankees projected opening day starter, bolstered his fantasy value in his first spring outing.
February 24, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang tentatively is slated to start the Yankees' regular-season opener on March 31, according to the New York Daily News. That's how the rotation currently plays out after the spring will begin with Mike Mussina and Jeff Karstens facing off in an intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday. Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain will pitch Friday against the University of South Florida and Wang will hit the mound Saturday in the exhibition opener.
February 15, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang lost his arbitration hearing against his employer, the New York Yankees, on Friday, according to the team's official website. Wang was awarded $4 million instead of the $4.6 million he was seeking. It's difficult to understand how the two sides couldn't find common ground on the 600K difference. After four arbitration hearings the owners have jumped out to an early lead with a first inning Grand Slam: Owners 4 - Players 0.
February 13, 2008
Chien-Ming Wang is not going to get the long-term deal from the Yankees that he desires, and it appears he'll be unable to avoid going to arbitration with the club tomorrow. "I want to," Wang told the NY Post of inking a multi-year contract. "They told me it's not the time because for pitchers it's hard to stay healthy." Wang, who will turn 28 next month, has 19 wins each of the last two seasons.
February 8, 2008
The Yankees and Chien-Ming Wang seem headed for arbitration, according to LoHud.com. “I expect there will be a hearing,” Yankees GM Brian Cashman said. “There have been talks but they haven’t been productive.” The Yankees submitted $4 million while Wang and agent Alan Nero countered with $4.6 million. Coming off back-to-back 19-win seasons, Wang is likely to get the higher number.
