CC Sabathia will be making his spring training debut this afternoon against the Marlins. Over the offseason he had elbow surgery and has been limited to two simulated games this spring.
Brett Gardner and Ichiro have had impressive springs thus far. Gardner is batting .364 this spring and Ichiro is batting a whopping .462. It may only be spring, but these two key players are off to fantastic starts and look to stay hot in the remaining spring training games as they have their sights set for the start of the regular season.
Also, keep an eye out for Ronnier Mustelier, who has been a surprise this spring for the Yankees. He is batting .292 with a homer and has impressed Girardi at third base. He is being considered for a roster spot in the absence of their star players.
