The Yankees have tried and failed to trade Chuck Knoblauch, who was overcome by his throwing jitters this past season.

Tom Kelly managed Knoblauch in the first seven years of his career, before Knoblauch's throwing jitters.

Yesterday, comments from Fed and ex-Fed officials threw early jitters into the bond market, along with an initial spike in the commodities index.

"There's no question it is still there," Torre said, referring to Knoblauch's throwing jitters.

Chuck Knoblauch, hampered by throwing jitters, is expected to play second base again in this series, for the first time since Sept. 29.

Knoblauch, the Yankees' second baseman, sounded good today, assured, direct, talking like someone writing a self-help manifesto, after three years of throwing jitters.

Second baseman Chuck Knoblauch has been intermittently overwhelmed by throwing jitters.

He had the disturbing throwing jitters, which led to his being defiant, then courageous and then realistic.

"When you're going through the things I was going through, it's kind of hard to enjoy it," said Knoblauch, who had throwing jitters at second base.

Just when it seemed as if his throwing jitters and lackluster hitting might affect his confidence forever, Knoblauch is reborn again.
