The Yankees take on the Red Sox for the first time this spring as Michael Pineda faces Felix Doubront. This might not be Boston's A lineup, but I still want to see Pineda mow them all down. Joe Girardi made a round of cuts today that includes Chase Whitley, Mark Montgomery, Robert Coello, Brian Gordon, Bruce Billings, Jose Pirela, Ramon Flores, Corban Joseph, Peter O`Brien, and Francisco Arcia. They could still be listed on today's roster as far as we know. Jacoby Ellsbury will not be playing against his old team as the Yankees want him to rest his sore calf.
Today's bench includes Austin Romine (C), Jose Gil (1B), Eduardo Nunez (2B), Dean Anna (SS), Zelous Wheeler (3B), Yangervis Solarte (LF), Adonis Garcia (CF), Zoilo Almonte (RF), and John Ryan Murphy and Antoan Richardson as replacement designated hitters. The bullpen includes David Robertson, Fred Lewis, Shawn Kelley, Matt Daley, David Herndon, Jim Miller, Yoshinori Tateyama, Chris Leroux, Danny Burawa
