Spring Game 21: Pirates at Yankees

Happy St. Patricks Day. The big lefty gets the start tonight and is expected to go 4 innings followed by MO in his first appearance of the spring. I am talking about CC as the big lefty. This resembles a lineup you would see during the season, of course Jeter is with USA trying to advance tonight against Puerto Rico and Cano won't be in there until Friday although he has been pinch hitting. Jorge will catch 5 innings tonight and it will be good to see him on TV, I kind of want to see him try and throw a guy out at second. Matsui is in for the fourth straight day, so it looks like he will be ready for opening day and the season. Peter Abraham has the information in the link below of the lineups and pitchers and some notes. Spring Game 21: Pirates at Yankees Posted using ShareThis

Spring Game 7: Team USA at Yankees

Phil Hughes will have a nice test here today against team USA. He may go 3 inning as this is his 2nd start. It is interesting to have damon and gardner at the top of the order, should be a lot of running, hit and run, bunt. Derek Jeter against the Yanks what a weird site, he will get a big hand when he is introduced. Lets see today if Gardner answers Melky back today with another good day of his own. Nady gets a chance to show what he has after Swish had a nice running catch in RF yesterday. Phil Coke gets another shot to prove himself but I don't see how he won't be in the bullpen this year.
