Pregame chatter: Sorry for the delay, the MLBPA meeting went long and pushed everything back. … Joe Torre said the he was leaning to taking 12 pitchers north but not necessarily a long reliever. … Bobby Abreu could take BP tomorrow.

    This should be a good test for Igawa. That’s a pretty tough right-handed middle-of-the-order.

    Can someone explain why toree bats Giambi 3rd instead of Cano? Giambi serves better in the 5 spot so he can protect A-Rod. And Cano will get pitches to hit in the 3-spot, instead of being semi-pitched around. This takes away the need to have a high OBP hitter in the 3-spot.

    Neil,
    I don’t think it really matters since Abreu will hit third on Opening Day.
