Spring Training Notes: 2/28/12
Alex Rodriguez using the batting cage
The Yankees continued to work out in Tampa Florida as they prepare for their first game on March 2nd. And what better picture for today than to see Alex Rodriguez in the indoor cage, taking BP. Onto today’s Spring Training notes:
— David Aardsma (the new #34) was in camp today and Joba Chamberlain threw off a full mound. Chamberlain told Marc Carig of The Star Ledger that he felt good. He also said that he believed that Rafael Soriano threw off the mound as well.
— Mark Feinsand posted some videos from today’s Spring Training session, so let’s take a look at some videos!
Curtis Granderson takes hacks at Batting Practice
— As you all know, yesterday was Picture Day for the Yankees and courtesy of Yahoo! Sports, I was able to find some Pictures from yesterday’s Media Day session. I was able to find out some interesting fun facts about the pictures.
- This year’s Media Day pictures were taken in the bathroom of the George M. Steinbrenner Field clubhouse.
- These pictures were taken using an iPhone and used the application Instagram.

This article is worth a read as well. Girardi mentions that the only locks to the rotation are Sabathia and Kuroda. Check it out.

I read that earlier and I found it really interesting:o A bit shocking actually.
Anyway Spring Training games start on Sunday soooo EXCITED:D
where’s curtis picture? đŸ˜¦
I couldn’t find Curtis’s picture. I’m sorry. đŸ˜¦
End of the year bullpen of Mariano, Robertson, Soriano, Joba, and a healthy Aardsma is gonna be havoc on the AL.
Matt S, your rigtht if they’re all pitching up to their potential everyone is in trouble.
You could rest some of your starters in some games down the stretch have them pitch 5 or 6 then split the rest with those guys.
