Can you smell it in the air? Spring training has started and players are getting ready for the 2012 season. All the teams are in search of one thing, and that is the world series trophy. The Yankees again are looking as good as ever. With the new players acquired in the off season and the talent coming back I feel that they have a great chance this year. The players have arrived excited and ready to play.
The Yankees made some great moves and got some great talent this off season, and this excites players and their ready to win. Mark Teixeira came to camp 15 pounds lighter, this could help him a lot. This will help with his range at first and his mobility and power at the plate. People have said to put him in the clean-up spot because he's still in his prime and put A-Rod at the 5 spot. I think this would be a good only if A-Rod could adjust. Jeter is ready to go again this year like always. He says he got a couple more years left of baseball and doesn't plan on being the next to retire. Jeter coming off a very historical year for him needs to carry it over. The team feeds off him and when he's up everyone's up. Russell Martin has been a big pickup for the team and has done real good things for them. There has been contract talk but the front office says there will be no deal till after this season, but if Martin hits free agency he will have many good offers. So I'm hoping he'll have another good year and the Yanks will resign him.
I could go on all day with each player but I won't. Like Cano is staying at the third spot since he did so good in the ALCS, and Girardi says he may make the lineup permanent. As long as everyone's healthy this could be the year they win number 28. We're about due for one.
