PrintHere are a few New York Yankees stories to keep you busy while we impatiently count down the hours to Sunday night's season-opener.
- The 'Hughes Rules' for 2010 will include a trip to extended spring training. Phil Hughes is scheduled to make his first regular-season start April 15.
From LoHud:
Why do it this way?
Girardi said this allows the Yankees to further control Hughes’ innings. The starts in extended spring training don’t count toward his innings limit, but they will keep him fresh. "There were times when he threw only 50 pitches (in spring training) when he other guys were throwing 70," Girardi said. "We feel like this is good to get him up to where he needs to be."
- It appears that Curtis Granderson will play center field. To me, that is hardly a surprise.
- There appears to be good news on the injury front.
- The Daily News has posted its preview edition today. Included in that is a list of 28 reasons why the Yankees will win their 28th World Series. I particularly enjoyed No. 21.
21. They aren't the Mets For the first time in a long time, the Yankees aren't the biggest circus in town. The Bombers will surely have their share of side-show antics to deal with, but given what has happened across town in the past three years, the Yankees look like the model of serenity. - In Boston, Javier Vazquez is being looked at as the biggest off-season acquisition by the Yankees.

Now that they have
gotten Joba confused as hell with the “Joba Rules”’ can’t wait to see how they mess up with the “Hughes Dues”.
When Hughes shows that he's not as good as a starter
mainly cuz he came out of the pen pissed off…its gonna prove he’s better suited for the pen.
They we’ll have a cretin brigade clamoring for Sergio Mitre…yes, that Sergio Mitre, to start.
Get HWSNBN...and they will come
its all about demeanor
and what I think demeanor is better for where.
To teh pen.
Get HWSNBN...and they will come
At least he is better than Joba
JOBA TO THE BULLPEN FOREVER
TOTALY
HE’S SO MCUH MORE AGRESIVE AND HAS A BETTOR DEMEANOR IN TEH PEN! WE CAN GROOM HIM TO BE THE EVENTUAL HIER TO MO!
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
Hooray for Joba fist pumpz
They get old quick if he’s a starter

It's time
Its time for everyone to get over it, Hughes is the 5th starter, the decision was made, I’m not personally attacking anyone here it’s just the way I feel. If Joba had even remotely looked good this spring maybe the decision would be different, it’s no ones fault but his own. My guess is Hughes will be more consistent than Joba was last year. I use to be on the Joba as a starter bandwagon but from what I saw last year, rules or no rules, and this spring he still has a long ways to go. As for Aceves I like him more as a reliever, the Ramiro Mendoza type that can give a spot start here and there. I’m just not sure Aceves can be a starter for the entire season once some of the best lineups in the league start seeing him for more than 2-3 innings.
I also am on a 170 post limit, but exhibition posts don't count, nor do replies.
Also, some of my posts are one or two sentences, while others are posting entire pages. However, I am not going to Scranton for 2 weeks (I live closer to Pawtucket).
I am the 5th poster, and the rest of you will have to live with it. Stay in teh pen, and keep your mouths shut.

I didn't like the consistency of your commenting delivery in Spring Training
You need to go to the pen. Posting a comment once every few days will totally play up your typing ability, and you don’t have to rely as much on your secondary replies.
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
I also get the sense you may have done a "fist pump"
while typing that.
“Fist Pumps” are inexcusably outbursts of emotion for a starting pitcher.
Therefore, you must go to teh pen

If you post
daily, you need to go to teh pen. If you truly are the fifth poster, you may remain in the rotation. As the fifth poster, this allows you approximately 5 posts every fifth day, for a total of 34 posting days. Have at it.
if you go to teh pen
you better bring me something nice or NO HO FOR YOU.

Can someone explain why the innings Hughes throws in the minors don't count?
I mean, he throws the ball toward the plate with a batter in the box, doesn’t he? Seems like there would be the wear and tear on his arm regardless.
For the same reason my exhibition posts don't count.
I’m not really trying yet.
