Yanks VS Twins

The New York Yankees travel to Fort Myers today to face the Minnesota Twins. The starting lineup will be: Gardner(CF),Ranson(2B),Swisher(1B),Posada(DH),Nady(RF),Cabrera(LF),Berroa(SS),Leone(3B),Cervelli(C). The big guys did not make the trip, they will be playing the Twins tomorrow at home before leaving for the WBC on Sunday. The big guys are Cano,Arod,Jeter if you didn't know. The Pitching is Ian Kennedy followed by Eric Hacker,Andrew Brackman,Wilkin De La Rosa,Anthony Claggett and Michael Dunn. It will be interesting to see how Ian Kennedy responds this year after a terrible yr last year and then being vilified after some postgame comments he made. Eric Hacker is a guy Posada said to keep your eye on, of course Brackman is a guy everyone is watching. Wilkin De La Rosa is a interesting pitcher, he switched from OF to pitcher and may move up the ladder quickly, he is a lefty. Michael Dunn is also a converted lefty pitcher. It will be good to see how Posada bounces back the day after a strong game and also a long bus ride. Enjoy the game, it isn't being covered.
