Around the Empire
Newsday | Erik Boland: We’re under three weeks to the regular season and the Yankees are getting a good look at who is good and who is not good. Thankfully the people we want to be good are good. Greg Bird, Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and others are all having a solid spring. Some of the other hyped prospects, like Gleyber Torres, are also showing what a promising future the Yankees’ organization could have. This is good.
New York Daily News | Mike Mazzeo: Dustin Fowler is bringing quite a bit of youthful energy and enthusiasm with him this spring. Fowler’s name can be mentioned in the above paragraph with other hyped prospects that are doing well. Joe Girardi has certainly been impressed by the young center fielder. This article also talks a bit about his life, his personality, and who has helped him along the way.
MLB.com | Danny Knobler: While the youts/yutes show what they can do in spring training, current Yankees’ SS and best after victory tweeter Didi Gregorius is doing well to help lead Team Netherlands to the WBC championship. In five games, Didi is hitting .429 with five extra base hits and eight RBI. Start spreading the news. Here’s hoping Sir Didi brings some of that back to the Bronx with him.
New York Post | Dan Martin: The battle for the rotation continues onward. One name potentially in the mix is Jordan Montgomery. Girardi has his eye on the young pitcher. If not directly out of spring training, his name is definitely in the mix as a potential future call-up.
New York Daily News | Peter Sblendorio: This is the story of how A-Rod met J-Lo. As you know, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are now dating. If you didn’t know, now you know. Knowing is still half the battle.
