I hope the Wang comes back to his full, hard throwing healthy self and really puts ahurting on whoever tries to jerk him around on the mound.
 
Spring Training Camp update....

Brian Bruney and Jonathan Albaladejo were at the workout this morning.

Bruney remains trimmed up and was in great spirits. I think he is going to be a big, big piece of the puzzle. Although he pitched in only 34.1 innings last season, opponents hit .153 off him. He also handles left-handed hitters well.

Bruney isn't as colorful as Joba, but he has that same competitive mindset and he's not afraid to challenge hitters. I think he can be an effective set-up man and will allow Joe Girardi to use Damaso Marte in optimal situations. Marte, in my mind, is not a pure eighth-inning guy

And don't sleep on Albaladejo. He made the team out of camp last season and pitched fairly well (outside of one bad outing against Detroit) before he hurt his elbow. He'll have a shot.

I'm also surprised by what I've seen from Jorge Posada. He is showing good pop in the cage and I think it's a good sign that on Feb. 11 he's receiving balls in a crouch and coming out of it to throw. The Yankees will be cautious with him all camp but he seems to be on pace for Opening Day.

For a guy like Posada, given his age and experience, it's better to be cautious. As long as he gets his at-bats, how many innings he catches in the spring isn't a huge concern. He can catch the new pitchers in the bullpen to learn them.

[h2]The numbers game[/h2] February 12
With all this steroids talk, it was fun to look at the roster page the Yankees hand out in the press box and think about baseball. There are three columns: by position, alphabetical and numerical.

With so many retired numbers, the Yankees have five players wearing numbers in the 90s and seven in the 80s. The last name, numerically, on the list is Kanekoa Texeira. He got No. 94.

Equipment manager Rob Cucuzza left some available numbers on the shelf. No. 6 (Joe Torre), No. 21 (Paul O'Neill), No. 35 (Mike Mussina), No. 51 (Bernie Williams) are not being used. Cucuzza also didn't give out No. 53. Maybe he thought there was a chance Bobby Abreu would return.

Hopefully nobody tries to claim 21. We don't need that mess again.
