Opening Day is inching closer. I know that because the night Grapefruit League games are piling up. The Yankees will play their second straight night game tonight and their third of the spring overall. They have a few next week as well. Two weeks and five days until Opening Day. Gettin’ closer.
Anyway, the rotation competition continues tonight. Luis Cessa is starting and, at this point, it’s not a question of “if” he’ll make the Opening Day rotation, just “what role.” Cessa’s had a nice little spring (5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K), but it’s only five innings, so who cares.
