Spring Game 19: Twins at Yankees

Peter Abraham has the lineups with some notes. There were some more cuts today as the Yankees get closer and closer to opening day. Today is a very important day for the Yankees as Jorge Posada will catch 3 innings and then we will see how he feels. If all goes well he will catch a couple of games next week and start catching more innings. He is leading off so he can get a couple of at bats. Matsui is also in the lineup for the second consecutive day and if all is well with him he will play tomorrow again making it 3 days in a row for the first time. The Yankees walking wounded seem to be progressing well and this is a great sign but they still got to be careful with them before they are out of the woods. The game is not on TV but listen to John and Suzyn on the radio WCBS 880 AM. It will be nice to see more of the starting lineup now, there will still be changes towards the end of the game but as we move along now there are less minor leaguers with the team and the starters have to start getting used to playing full games. Cano and of course Arod are still not in the lineup and Jeter, but once Jeter gets back the Yanks will resemble the lineup they will have on opening day. Andy gets the start followed by Phil Coke today, if Marte injury is serious Coke will become that late inning lefty and he has looked good so far.
