Joba looks "big"

Sucks about Brackman...

A-Rod's swing looks sexy in S/T game 1.

Betances looked really good today.

Betances looked filthy, touching 97 in his first spring training outing in February? Jeez.

Yes, but Bentaces appears to have had some location problems today.

ManBan is a beast. Some think he would be in the majors right now if he weren't a Yankee, and I tend to agree. He looks like Johan mechanically and I think he could be better than Clayton Kershaw and Johan. 96 MPH fastball, sick curve. He has 3 plus pitches he can throw at any time and is so calm out there. NY won't faze him.

Ah but keep in mind back in 2009, A-Rod comes clean about performance enhancing and has hip surgery Yanks go on to win the WS.

The Yanks are going to be fine. Last year, you saw a team that ran out of gas after an uncharacteristically decent start.

Hey, if CC plans to opt out...he's intent on winning another 20+ games. So be it. I think Hughes will serve up another good season. AJ can't be any worse.

And if the offense is healthy with a little youth in Montero, they'll give 10-12 wins for Freddy.

Most importantly, the Yanks are good at making deals at the deadline. I think they know how to fix themselves.

Havnt realy been following Spring Training this year like i have in the passed. Baseball has started to disinterest me for the first time in years. There is no love for the game anymore, i dunno. It isnt like watching the team in the 90's and early 2000's.

I'm pretty pissed about Jaba looking overweight. Kid has all the potential in the world, but he comes into camp fat? SMH. Glad CC finally got his **** together though.

Hey SIX pure innings of shut out by AJ Burnett. This time against the Phillies sans Utley and Ibanez. So that's encouraging, though I NEVER put much stock in spring training.

freddy garcia looks good again

he cant be worse than javy was last year

Dr. Detfink · Post #18 » by **Dr. Detfink** » Tue Mar 8, 2011 11:43 pm

If Garcia can give the Yanks 12 wins (equal to last season) and not burn out the pen, the Yanks signed a STEAL.

rivera said banuelos is the best pitching prospect he has ever seen

Wow. Hope he's right.
