From Joel Sherman
The Yankees have re-signed Andy Pettitte for one-year at $11.75 million, the Post has learned.
The two sides quickly hammered out an agreement once Pettitte signaled he did want to play again in 2010 — and only for the Yankees.
The contract this time around is not incentives based, which makes sense. Last year, the [...]

Andy Re-Ups, This Time With No Drama
Looking at Andy Pettitte’s Season In Graphical Form
Consider this part 2 in a 3 part series. After AJ’s last start in September (tomorrow) I’ll be doing one of these for him as well. I’m leaving out Joba Chamberlain because of the oddities caused by his innings limits and the mish-mosh of fifth starters isn’t really worth looking at unless you are into [...]
Andy Pettitte’s August – A Very Good Month
Today I’m going to talk about something I love talking about: Andy Pettitte pitching well.
And I’m very happy to talk about his because he went through a stretch where he just wasn’t pitching very well. And unlike a most of his bad stretches, it was pretty long. Here are his splits by month:

Life, The Rotation, And Everything
The All-Star break is usually denoted as the halfway point of the season, and so what better time to look at how the rotation is doing. You’ll notice there are only four starters, and that is because at the minute the Yankees only have four starters. Chien-Ming Wang is injured and presumed dead, Alfredo Aceves [...]
He Just Wins Games (Except When He Doesn’t)
Let’s take a look at Andy Pettitte’s numbers in a few ways. I am doing this up because recently I whined about how not very good Andy has looked lately and the refutation was starts, innings, runs. So here we go.
First, results only. Because as we all know, results are what are most important.

Who Loves Quality Starts? Me.
While Chien-Ming Wang is struggling compared to where he was last year, Andy Pettitte is pitching much better than I expected so far. He never does that great in cold weather and it’s been pretty chilly out (well, one of his starts was in a dome and also Florida but you know what I mean) [...]
Pictures (And Video!) From The Second Game At Yankee Stadium
Today was the day! I picked up my $1.10 (plus $3.50 in Ticketmaster fees) hard ticket from will call for the game. I am tempted to frame this because of the ridiculous price:
The will call window area was very slow, and although they have many lines inside the office everyone gets stuck on one waiting [...]
Andy on Alex — Unconditional Support
We’ll be here. The team’s going to be here. We’re going to support him. We’re like family in here. You guys know, I’m big on relationships. I feel like I’ve built up a good relationship with Alex. I care about him. I’ll try to help him get through it as much as I can.
No surprise [...]
Andy’s Back (Officially) — Contract Details And More
Hooray, it’s official. I know because the Yankees sent me an email saying so. You can listen to the conference call about the contract deal on Yankees.com.
Here are some quotes from the call:
There never was a point we got to where we were at the end of the line and I needed to make a [...]
Andy Close To Re-Signing
Seeing this all over the place now, but here’s this particular quote is from the AP:
Andy Pettitte and the Yankees are closing in on a one-year contract that would bring the left-hander back to New York.
A person familiar with the negotiations said the agreement could be reached later Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity [...]
