Things to Watch: Now that Phil Hughes is entrenched in the rotation, Aceves is working to prove he belongs in a high leverage spot in the bullpen. Thames is starting in left field and is fighting for that last bench spot. The Yankees still have to decide if they're going to carry a second lefty in the pen, Boone Logan made the trip and is available to pitch. Also available out of the bullpen: Sergio Mitre, Chan Ho Park, Dave Robertson and Amaury Sanit among others. Randy Winn is patrolling center and I'm interested to see how he fares. One of his best assets is his ability to play solid defense in all outfield positions. Scheduled to play off the bench: P.J. Pilittere - C, Jose Gil - 1B, Justin Snyder - 2B, Kevin Russo - SS, Ramiro Pena - 3B, Jon Weber - LF, Greg Golson - CF and Dave Winfree - RF.
Game Notes: The Yankees were crushed by the Orioles 8-0. Alftedo Aceves was lit up to the tune of six runs (five earned) in two innings. He allowed six hits and two walks and didn't strike out a single batter. He gave up a two-run bomb to Adam Jones and was up in the zone with everything, hurting his chances for a high leverage spot in the bullpen. Sergio Mitre pitched pretty well, he went two innings and gave up two hits, one run and one walk. His line looked worse than his performance, he gave up a single that Cano could've turned into a double play had he not already broke to cover second. Boone Logan pitched one inning with no hits or walks. Chan Ho Park threw two scoreless innings with two hits, no walks and two strikeouts. He's looked very impressive this spring. Thames went 0-for-4 to lower his average to .094, he'll probably still get the bench role because of his experience and his proven ability to hit for power against lefties. C.C. Sabathia pitched a Triple-A game against the Phillies and got killed. His final line: three and 2/3 innings, seven hits, seven earned runs, one walk and four strikeouts. He also hit a batter and and served up two homers. He threw 88 pitches, 58 for strikes, and he ended up throwing 12 pitches in the bullpen after the game to bring his pitch total to an even 100.
