New York Yankees Thoughts

The New York Yankees will take on the Detroit Tigers from Steinbrenner Field in Tampa this evening. It will be CC Sabathias first start for the Yankees and now all the starting pitchers are in line as we head towards April 6, opening day in Baltimore. Hideki Matsui got into his first game yesterday as DH and will probably play a lot now. He says he wants to play everyday but they will probably keep him away from long road trips. The bullpen looks pretty good so far and MO threw for the first time yesterday and the plan is to get him into a game around March 17. The Arod stuff will continue but right now it is just wait and see as he rests and rehabs for the time being. I have no idea when he will play a game again and I don't think they even do at this point, the interesting thing is when he plays they may limit him to DH then what do they do with Matsui?? Jorge Posada should be catching by then and hopefully it all goes well with that. I am not overly concerned at this point because I believe the strength of the team is their pitching all around and will continue to be. I will have lineups and updates later on as once again this is a night game, no tv and I dont think its on radio either.
