Happy Hump Day, everyone. John will kick off our Wednesday with an idea of how the Yankees could regularly rotate their starting lineup to achieve that ever-elusive optimum health. Peter will follow with a season preview post on talented 21-year-old Deivi García, who hopes to claim one of the spots in the Yankees’ rotation. I’ll remember an introductory Aaron Judge blast for the daily history post, and Tom will close out our planned schedule with an article on the Yankees’ improved baserunning.
As a programming note, there will not be a game thread today, as unfortunately, the Yankees/Blue Jays exhibition will not be broadcast on TV or radio. That’s a particular bummer since Corey Kluber is pitching for the first time this spring. If you want to talk about the play-by-play from MLB.com or any reports from folks watching the game live, then you can feel free to do so in this thread. Peter will be recapping the seven-inning contest at its conclusion, so stay tuned for that.

Fun Questions
- Would you watch video of a live spring training game even if it was just a camera set up on a tripod aimed at the field or something like that with no commentary?
- Do you think anyone will sign Yoenis Céspedes after his showcase yesterday, or is he just toast?
