He looks strange without the beard too.

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

he doesnt look that weird, i think if theres any team to look like the Yankees its the white sox. he looks the same as when he was traded by the Red Sox

 

[StvBroDan]

Sure is weird seeing Youk wearing Yankee gear

Its going to take some time Wing to get use to Youk in the stripes. I think right after he plows one over the wall. Yooooooooooooooooooooouk will rain down.

Some notes from Chad Jennings at Yankees camp today;

Ichiro Suzuki’s fantastic comment about his first day of Yankees spring training: “I came and Derek Jeter was not the eater that the media portrayed him to be,” Ichiro said. “It was good to see him that way.” Zing!

I strictly watched batting practice and fielding drills on the main field, which means I missed Mark Teixeira, Kevin Youkilis and the outfielders. Based on what I saw, though, Travis Hafner was the first Yankees player to go deep on this first day of full-squad workouts. He sent three pitches in a row way out to right field during the opening round of BP. Grant, it’s only BP, but Hafner is a big, big guy who really pulls the ball with a ton of power.

Another random workout observation: Eduardo Nunez made two errors in the span of about 10 groundballs today. He and Jeter were at shortstop with Cano and Jayson Nix at second. Those four were taking turns going through double play drills.

I have a feeling Hafner will have a good year barring any injury of course.

 

[Saugus]

Nunez, making errors already. I'm not surprised.

 

[Jersey Man]

Phil Hughes already hurt with a possible bulging disc. Terrific.

That is like saying buying this lottery ticket will be awesome unless I lose

Gardner to center? Okay I guess.

Bobby V named AD at Sacred Heart

Granderson broke his forearm in Spring Training today

Out until May

[Wingman77]

While it seems that only missing a month and change of the regular season isn't so bad, its actually worse because Granderson will have missed all of ST and will likely have to spend some time in the minors getting some reps in before he can come back

I guess I'll take the injury in the beginning of the year rather than the end though

 

[Jersey Man]

and so it begins...

 

[Wingman77]

Rumors saying its looking like Yankees are showing interest in Alfonso Soriano, but Soriano isn't sure if he'd accept a trade to Yanks

Recycling old Yankees again? Is Cashman taking tips from Lou?

 

[StvBroDan]

UGG what a way to start.

 

[Jersey Man]

Nunez to left field? That's what I'm seeing on Twitter.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

oh God anyone but Nunez

that guy sucks

 

[Jersey Man]

So Phil Hughes may not be ready for the start of the season.

So Phil Hughes may not be ready for the start of the season.

If the Yankees are smart, they don't re-sign him. He is due a big raise that I frankly don't think he has earned at all.

How about this one, Joe Mauer's wife is set to have twins...
