News & Notes
- On Joel Sherman's Hardball blog he mentioned that Joe Girardi would look to get Nick Swisher three starts a week, plus he'd have him pinch-hit as well.
- Will Carroll mentioned on his Twitter page that Alex Rodriguez has begun hitting off a tee. He also believes he will return to the Yankees before the May 15th date they've been mentioning.
- Not Yankee related, but Jonathan Papelbon continues to prove how much of a punk he is. This time by complaining about the Red Sox opening day ceremony.
