Against a lefty, it could be right-handed-hitting Shelley Duncan. Jason Giambi could split time at DH, first base and as a bench player. Switch-hitter Wilson Betemit, a novice first baseman, might be the club's best defensive option. A sleeper candidate is lefty-hitting Juan Miranda, a Cuban exile who had a combined 16 homers and 96 RBIs at Class A and AA last season. NOTES, QUOTES —RHP Carl Pavano might be ready to pitch in the big leagues by late June, according to a report quoting his agent. Pavano had one victory in two starts last year before undergoing season-ending reconstructive elbow surgery. —RHP Mike Mussina is headed into possibly the final year of his big-league career (his contract runs out after '08), but he's in manager Joe Girardi's plans. "If you were to say that you were going to design your rotation today, Mike Mussina would definitely be in the mix," Girardi said recently, though he added the caveat that "you have to perform." —3B Alex Rodriguez has more home runs (220) over the past five seasons than anyone in baseball. Albert Pujols (211) is second. Over that same span, only Boston's David Ortiz has more RBI (642) than A-Rod (631). —C Jorge Posada has started 1,019 games at catcher since 2000, more than any receiver in the AL during that period. He's one of only eight catchers in major league history to reach the 20-homer plateau in at least seven seasons. ROSTER REPORT With 3B Alex Rodriguez, RHP Mariano Rivera, C Jorge Posada and LHP Andy Pettitte back in the fold, the Yankees' offseason concerns aren't as great as they were in mid-October. Still, that didn't stop them from entering the Johan Santana sweepstakes. ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLE: RHP Chien-Ming Wang, 2B Robinson Cano, INF Wilson Betemit, RHP Brian Bruney. Wang and Cano should land healthy salaries. IN LIMBO: RHP Kyle Farnsworth, RHP Mike Mussina, OF/DH Johnny Damon. Damon's role was reduced, but he could platoon with OF Hideki Matsui. Farnsworth should have a new address next year. Mussina might be asked to battle for a starting spot. MEDICAL WATCH: OF/1B/DH Shelley Duncan (hernia surgery in October 2007) will be ready for the start of spring training. OF Hideki Matsui (arthroscopic right knee surgery in November 2007) is expected to be 100 percent by spring training. RHP Ian Kennedy (back strain) missed the playoffs but should be fine for next spring. RHP Carl Pavano (reconstructive right elbow surgery in June 2007) hopes to pitch before the end of the 2008 season. -- 宇宙裡的微小塵埃 http://www.wretch.cc/album/AllyDai --
