The game's on YES Network and MLB.tv if you can get a chance to watch it. It's nice to have so much televised Spring Training baseball, even if the games don't count. The Yanks' most consistent starter from last year takes on a 2012 National League All-Star in "Lynnie."

Ronny's at third as the Yankees continue to try him there as a possible replacement with Youk at first. And hey, Slade's starting! Let's hope he doesn't hurt himself, Gardner, or Ichiro out there.
