This morning’s intrasquad game is going to be the sort of thing you only find in spring training. The same group of fielders will play defense for each “team” of pitchers. The fielders won’t hit and the hitters won’t field, except for the catchers, who will do both. The hitters will run the bases.
Basically, pitch [...]

No DH for the Yankees today.
UPDATE, 8:45 a.m. Slight change in the intrasquad game. Andy Pettitte will pitch with Mariano Rivera, Damaso Marte and Dave Robertson. Joba Chamberlain will pitch with Chan Ho Park. [...]

Nick Swisher has always shown power and patience at the plate, but this spring he’s been hitting for average as well, and that’s by design. Swisher worked this winter to “quiet” his swing, and it seems to be paying dividends.
Speaking of changes, Sam wrote today about the changes in Alex Rodriguez. Not the physical changes [...]

Reassigned to minor league camp this afternoon, Jesus Montero hit .375/.444/.625 in just eight at-bats in big league camp. He had a total of one walk and three hits, two of them doubles, but the Yankees don’t need much more to believe in his bat. He’ll open the season in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hoping for a call-up [...]

On the day the Yankees were rained out, they also sent out the most highly touted prospects in camp.
Catchers Jesus Montero and Austin Romine packed their bags this afternoon, having combined for just 19 at-bats spread across eight games apiece.
“(Montero) has made strides in his catching,” Joe Girardi said. “He’s made strides in shortening his [...]

The Yankees have a pitching plan for tomorrow.
There will be an intrasquad game here at George M. Steinbrenner Field tomorrow morning. The Yankees haven’t announced who the hitters will be — probably a mix of minor leaguers — but these will be the pitching assignments:
Team 1: Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Damaso Marte
vs.
Team 2: Joba [...]

The Yankees made four of their most significant cuts today, sending Jesus Montero, Austin Romine, Colin Curtis and Reid Gorecki to the minor league complex.
But that’s not why things are a mess.
The Yankees literally don’t know what they’re going to do tomorrow. They have seven pitchers who need to pitch, and only nine innings to [...]

No game today. They just cancelled it because of rain.
Back with more in a bit.

It’s raining pretty hard right now. This might pass quickly enough to play ball, but right now it’s pretty ugly and it’s hard to imagine the game starting on time, if it starts at all.

Johnny Damon is in the Tigers lineup for this afternoon’s game at George M. Steinbrenner Field. He’s playing left field and batting second. Damon didn’t make Detroit’s previous trip to Tampa.
Of course, the weather will have to cooperate for Damon to actually play against his old teammates.
Right now, the tarp is on the field and [...]
