New York Yankees Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 21-20 | 10 | The Yankees got a great start from Andy Pettitte on Friday -- eight shutout innings -- but it was an otherwise abysmal week, as they didn't hit or get it done on the mound or play good defense. Having dropped five of their past seven, they are really struggling. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 7 | 19-15 | 8 | Over the last week, the Yankees got Andy Pettitte back, their rotation posted an MLB best 1.99 ERA, Robinson Cano hit .500 and Alex Rodriguez hit .333. Nice turnaround. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 6 | 15-13 | 9 | The Yankees went 3-4 against the Orioles and Royals last week and lost Mariano Rivera for the year. That's about as bad as it gets in the Bronx these days. At least they finished the week out on a high note Sunday. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 5 | 12-9 | 6 | David Robertson hasn't allowed a run in 10 appearances (10 innings pitched) so far, and he has recorded 15 strikeouts and issued just three walks. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 4 | 9-6 | 3 | The Yankees showed everyone this week they have an amazing offense after recording an incredible comeback victory over the Red Sox, but their starting rotation has the second-worst ERA (5.84) in the AL so far. They'll have to improve their pitching to start winning consistently. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 3 | 5-4 | 4 | After starting out the season 0-3, the Yankees bounced back with a good week by taking five out of six from the Orioles and Angels. However, back-to-back bad starts from Phil Hughes has fans anticipating the return of Andy Pettitte even more. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 2 | 0-3 | 8 | Joe Girardi is public enemy No. 1 in the Bronx after some questionable moves in all three of the Yankees' losses. The offense didn't show up when it needed to, and even CC Sabathia is showing he's not the Opening Day type (5.66 ERA in nine career Opening Day starts). Sabathia's ERA in his second starts of the season is 2.06, though. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 1 | The lineup has made it through spring training with no significant injuries and they have a strong rotation even with Michael Pineda's shoulder landing him on the DL. The Yankees are poised for a strong season. -- Rob Abruzzese: Bronx Baseball Daily | |
