[blog] Meanwhile, back on the diamond

[yyhong68 (come every now and then)]

大約重點短翻...
以下為Cashman的看法（想法）；

1. Joba會是五號先發
2. 簽下Nady與Swisher，可以製造一些roster的彈性
3. 希望Melky可以再次拿回CF的先發位置
4. 對以小聯盟約簽下資深球員的想法是保持開放態度..

Meanwhile, back on the diamond

Hey, actual baseball news!


Back when I wanted to write a spring training preview story, I talked
to Brian Cashman. He revealed a few things that are at least somewhat
interesting.

· The Yankees will use Joba Chamberlain as their No. 5 starter from the
   start of the season. There are no plans to pitch him out of the bullpen.
  “That is why bringing Andy (Pettitte) back was so important,” Cashman
   said.

Having Chamberlain as the No. 5 will allow the Yankees to easily skip his
turn on occasion, thus controlling his innings.


· Cashman said he “absolutely” likes the idea of keeping Xavier Nady and
   Nick Swisher on the roster. While a trade is possible, there is value in
   roster flexibility. “Nady can cover us in left and right. Swisher can
   play first, left, right and center in an emergency. It gives our manager
   a lot of choices,” Cashman said.

In theory, Joe Girardi can rotate Nady, Swisher, Johnny Damon and Hideki
Matsui in left, right and DH. One guy sits, everybody stays fresh.

· There are high hopes for Melky Cabera to reclaim center field. “Melky
   played well in winter ball and he has to show the competitiveness to put
   last season behind him,” Cashman said. “The good ones always find a
   way.”

Cashman also stressed it was a competition and that Brett Gardner will get
a long look. They want Austin Jackson to stay in the minors.

· Cashman is “wide open” to the idea of having veteran free agents come
   to camp on minor-league deals to try and make the team. No word yet as
   to who those might be.

We return you now to “Alex Rodriguez: Huge Cheater or Innocent Victim?”
