Spring Training over; time to face the Sox
CC Sabathia looks to have a repeat performance of his dominant Yankee debut last year
Tampa, FL- With spring training coming to an end, the Yankees look ahead to the real games. The Yankees start off the year with a 3-game set at Boston. The Bombs will trot staff ace CC Sabathia to the mound, and the Red Sox will counter with Josh Beckett.
The Yankees are looking forward to a big year after capturing their 27th World Championship, but have many questions to answer. How will Cano handle the 5th spot in the lineup? Will Phil Hughes have success back in the rotation? Will Joba return to 2007 form? How will Javy Vazquez do in his return to the Bronx? All these questions and more will be answered in another year of Yankees baseball.
