Yankees signed Kevin Millwood to a minor league deal.

They also traded Sergio Mitre to the Brewers for outfielder Chris Dickerson.

This makes me worry the Granderson injury is worse than they were letting on about.

Cool article about the Mick and his infamous homerun.

Nova's got the fourth spot, Freddy Garcia's got the fifth spot, and Bartolo Colon is in the bullpen: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/ ... pn_6260701

This could be interesting...

I think Nova has a fuckload of potential.

Newch91

Is it just me that doesn't watch spring training games?

tcaporale

Don't really watch them either unless one happens to be on while I'm skimming through channels, but I like to keep up-to-date on who is performing well.

Cliffy6745

I watch parts here and there when they are on but mostly just pay attention to everything that's going on.

Speaking of...

Granderson sounds like he is getting better.

Sounds like a small trade is in the works for Ramulo Sanchez.

Even though Dickerson stinks, I can't believe they got that much for Mitre.

Yeah, I am really interested to see how effective this new cutter is. Hopefully it can help him get through the order for a 2nd and 3rd time, something he struggled with big time last year.

He says nothing, as always, but always enjoy his interviews

I am a Red Sox fan, and I think some of this list is bunk, how in the hell is Mariano Rivera ahead of Yogi Berra and Derek Jeter!? Alex Rodriguez does not deserve to be anywhere near Thurman Munson and certainly not in front of Andy Pettite or Jorge Posada. Rodriguez has had like 1 good postseason and 1 ring, last time I checked Pettite and Posada had 5 rings each.

Today has finally arrived!

Can you sum up his spring training preformance?

Looked great behind the plate, didn't hit that well, started looking worse behind the plate. He will be fine, just really young. Give him time.

Agreed on A-Rod to an extent, but I think Mariano definitely deserves to be that high. He's probably the greatest closer in baseball history.

Yeah, I hear the Arod thing, but when his time is up,he is going to be so high on every Yankees leader list. Mo is high, I would have Jeter ahead since he plays 9 innings a game, every day, but I dont have a huge problem with it.
