Buzz Manager™ analyzed online discussion surrounding Hal Steinbrenner taking over control of the New York Yankees from his father, George Steinbrenner.

The Buzz ranked 6 out of 10, a topic of a medium level of interest among sports bloggers.

- Bloggers in the Positive category (61.29%) praised the move. They trust Hal to be a good steward of the franchise, more so than his outspoken brother Hank. They like that Hal is more quiet and reserved than Hank and perceived as more professional. They also felt that Hal has spent much more time with the team than Hank recently, making him the logical choice and the best for the organization.

-  Bloggers in the Negative category (9.68%) were few. Some were fans of other MLB teams taking the opportunity to be negative about the Yankees.

-  Bloggers in the Neutral category (29.03%) mentioned the announcement without expressing an opinion. Many note that this change has really only given him a new title, because George had already taken a much more hands off role and had all but handed the organization over to his sons already.
