Hello everybody, I hope your weekend went well. We’ve got a full week of Yankees baseball ahead of us, and it all starts with a trip to face the Phillies in Clearwater today. We’re at the exact halfway point of spring training games, so prepare to see the roster start to thin out and regulars play the field a little longer.

Spring training ace J.A. Happ will get the start today, and if his previous outings are any indication we may see some decent length out of Happ. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. EST, and is being broadcast on MLB Network. We’ll have the lineup posted in the game thread a little later, but for now feel free to use this…
