Fan Confidence Poll: March 21st, 2011

Record Last Week: 3-2-1 (32 RS, 16 RA)
Spring Training Record: 10-12-3 (91 RS, 106 RA)
Schedule This Week: @ Rays (Mon. on MLB), @ Orioles (Tues. on YES/MLBN), vs. Blue Jays (Weds). Thurs. OFF, vs. Astros (Fri.), vs. Pirates (Sat. on YES), @ Twins (Sun.)

Top stories from last week:

• A.J. Burnett was officially named the number two starter while Phil Hughes will handle the three-spot. Fourth/fifth starter candidate Ivan Nova is playing around with a new slider, and rumors of Sergio Mitre’s impending release don’t pass the sniff test. The Yankees watched Kevin Millwood’s unimpressive workout just in case.
• Andrew Brackman, Dellin Betances, and five others were reassigned to minor league camp.
• Injury Zone: Joba Chamberlain (strained oblique), Pedro Feliciano (dead arm), and Boone Logan (back spasms) battled various ailments this week, but all three are progressing well. Brett Gardner had some soreness/tightness after fouling a ball off his shin, but he’s fine. Russell Martin is no longer using that light-weight brace for his surgically repaired knee, and Mitre is back on the mound after missing an appearance with a strained oblique.
• Rule 5 Draft loss George Kontos was returned by the Padres. Yeicok Calderon and Ravel Santana were listed among Baseball America’s top 20 Latin American summer league prospects.
• The Opening Day payroll is right around $189M at the moment. Unsurprisingly, the Yankees are on Felix Hernandez’s no-trade list.
• Yankee Stadium parking lot owners are defaulting on their bonds.
• Joe Torre will attend Old Timer’s Day this season.
