With Cessa sent down that leaves Green, Mitchell, Montgomery, Sevey & Warren chasing the 4 & 5 Starter Slots. Yankees need to kick some Blue Jay butt today to serve notice on the upcoming season.
...damnit...I missed the game too...checked out the box score and replay...Bird has been insane this spring...I don't think it's a stretch to say that he's back. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=19003655
I really don't know what to think of this Team. Spring Training rarely tells the story but I guess you never know.
I know one thing. Winning is the elixir that can be contagious especially for the kids. The concern for me is how the established vets perform on this team. Of course, pitching will tell how this team competes on an everyday basis. I'm excited about the 'new' blood in the line up.
We as fans know that things will level when the season starts but yes winning is contagious which is Girardis take as well. Looks like the "experts" are picking an 82 game win season for this club, I think it will do better. Hopefully Cashman will have smart pills with his coffee and make a couple of good moves.
The Yankees lack in the starting pitching area so if anything that will hold them down. That's for next off season.
