Way to many questions to be answered, but the most important question is who's going to hit the first spring training homerun. That will be hit by someone irrelevant like Jason Lane.

As far as who's going to be this year's Joba, I look for two players: Alan Horne to be converted to a reliever late in the year and Mark Melancon to recover from TJ surgery and rise through multiple levels of the minors. Melancon's stuff is nasty and he has the makeup to close.

Andy, who's a big game pitcher, will not let this mess affect him and will do fine. Wang, who also has good makeup will not let the arbitration loss affect him either. I do not expect his strikeout totals to change, but he will have a strong year.

Ha! I realize there are too many questions I wrote. Maybe you can come up with new ones as well.

I know there are a lot of experts saying that Yankees are not going to make playoff this year, but let's us wait and see. I am always positive for my team. No matter what happen I always support them. Let's go Yankees!

After a while, I just think Andy won't abandon Yankees and fans. He won't quit and leave us behind.
