Look Back in the TGP Archives: January 18

It's a slow Sunday morning for news and there isn't much going on inside Yankeeland right now but it wasn't always like this. We decided on this Sunday morning to go back in time and take a quick look at what happened on this day inside the Yankees TGP archive.

We showed our Yankee Stadium legacy to start the morning by highlighting Bernie Williams postseason numbers. Spoiler alert, they are great. 

A former writer of ours asked the question, "ARod... the movie?"

In typical offseason fashion earlier in the morning we reported THE CUBS WERE IN THE LEAD FOR TANAKA before pretty much recanting the statement by reporting that the Yankees OFFERED $120 MILLION PLUS FOR TANAKA. I think we all know how that turned out.

We'll give the final say to Derek Jeter as he speaks on Tanaka, Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez. 

Article Revisit: Sergio Romo

With the loss of David Robertson to the New York Yankees bullpen still heavy on my heart for some reason I attempted to move on and consider viable backup options for the former Yankees closer. I was going through the TGP archive and I found an article I had written on November, 19 of this year and the article still makes a lot of sense. You may even be able to go as far as to cross out Shawn Kelley’s name in the article and insert Robertson’s in. Thoughts? Here’s the article:

Sergio Romo's free agency this winter can be described in about three sentences or less making him an interesting bullpen option for the Yankees and a viable backup option in case David Robertson decides to sign elsewhere. Let's take a look at those three sentences to see if he makes sense for the Yankees.

1. Romo has closed out all three rounds of the National League playoffs including the World Series, clutch comes to mind.

2. Romo had a not so great start to the 2014 season but pitched lights out when it matters posting a 1.29 ERA in October to go along with his career 2.59 ERA with the Giants.

3. Romo is better than Shawn Kelley.
