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. Thatâ€™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 donâ€™t think it really matters since Abreu will hit third on Opening Day.

Any idea who is scheduled to follow Igawa?

Igawa’s line after 2 innings:
Igawa2.0000340
not bad.

It’s getting old, and it’s not funny.
