Early Spring Training rotation announced
By
Real live baseball is just a few days away, and Bryan Hoch has the Yankees’ early Spring Training rotation for us…
March 3rd vs. Pirates: Chad Gaudin, Sergio Mitre, Al Aceves
March 4th @ Phillies: CC Sabathia (vs. Roy Halladay)
March 5th vs. Rays: Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain
The best part? All three games are on MLB Network (the Pirates and Rays games will be on YES as well), so we get to the see the Yanks in action. Based on how these things usually go, each of those guys mentioned above with throw two innings max, and the rest of the game will go to the lesser-knowns of the staff. We might even have ourselves an Andrew Brackman sighting.
Chad Jennings has the pitching probables beyond those first three games above, and he also mentions that Sabathia didn’t throw today because of the rain. He’s going to throw tomorrow instead, so don’t worry about it. Rumor has it Chan Ho Park should be in camp by then as well, though he’s about a week behind everyone else. Hooray for Spring Training!

HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED!

I’ve already heard people complaining about CC not getting the first ST start. Really, guys? It’s Spring Training!!!
Welcome to the irrationality of the common Yankee fan, Bexy.
Heh, I’m well-aware. It was just dumb. Like, really?
The rotation works perfectly for me. I’m going to 4 games, I get Javy-CC-Joba/Hughes-and Burnett. No B-Team 5th starter candidates, and not using one of the 4 games to see Pettitte for the 100th time? Hooray!
Also, making it doubly stupid is the face that because CC is not pitching the opener, we get a CC-Halladay matchup on day 2.
Playoff preview!1!
Hmm, looks like Igawa is back on the shades. Last year I think he stopped wearing them.
