New York Yankee notes: Mo gets to work
One day until there are some actual Spring Training baseball games to discuss! Hooray!
Until then, let's busy ourselves by looking around the Inter-Google for some interesting stories about our New York Yankees.
- The Yankees' version of baseball royalty, Mariano Rivera, threw a bullpen session Monday. As usual, Rivera will set his own schedule in getting ready for the season.
- The Sporting Blog has a somewhat annoying report about new Yankee reliever Chan Ho Park. Seems Park MIGHT be happy to be a Yankee. Or he MIGHT NOT be. Seems to depend on who he happens to be talking to.
- The New York Times has an interesting tidbit about outfielder Marcus Thames. Seems Thames, who has 101 career home runs, reached 100 homers in fewer at-bats than anyone in major league history.
- There seems to be a growing chorus of opinion that if former No. 1 pick Andrew Brackman has a big-league future, it will be in the bullpen. Here is the latest piece supporting that argument.
- Non-roster lefty reliever Royce Ring probably has a decent chance of making the team this spring, or finding his way to the Bronx some time this summer. So, here is a chance to get to know a little about him.
- What is it about Yankee pitchers and changeups? A.J. Burnett has joined the list of Yankee pitchers trying to perfect a changeup this spring.

Changeup
If a power guy like Burnett can master the changeup- he could be lights out. It might also save his arm further down the road.
look what Pedro has done with that nasty change.
we he was in his prime, it was even more effective with a 96 mph fastball.
