- Sabathia- CC has been good. Yes, his first start wasn't amazing, but his second was great. He looks a little leaner and more precise. His timing seems a little more in sync with his stuff. He looks cool, confident, and ready for battle.
- Joba- Now, I am not the only one who shudders with uncertainty when Joba Chamberlain is called out of the bullpen. Let’s face reality. With all of the pampering he’s had via “The Joba Rules”, he was anything but consistent. Having him as a bridge to Mariano didn’t always pay off, and many times, it's hurt us. But Joba Chamberlain has been pretty lights out. Yes, a little heavier than last year, but Joba is taking the mound and has had a lot more placement to go with the velocity of his pitches. He doesn't seem rattled, and he's been getting the job done. It seems that maybe our big Baby Huey is growing up a little bit, and has a different frame of mind this year.
- Soriano- Forming a two man bridge to Mo is a smart move, and it's working, except for that one bad night against the Twins. That being said, it's a great bridge, Joba lays the framework, and Soriano nails it in.
- Mariano Rivera- When the Sandman enters, we all know what’s coming. Despite the long rants during the off-season about his age, 41 year old Mariano still runs out to the field, and starts the assault, throwing pitches with such precision that one would wonder if he was a surgeon in another life. Carefully, methodically, and exactly, Mo puts the game to bed...still. Mariano Rivera remains at the top of his game.
- AJ- Burnett's on the way back. 2-0 this yearalready and looks more focused than ever. Many hope the confidence stays and the wins keep on coming for the once lost soul.
- Teixeira- Well known for a slow start, he's already logged four “Tex Messages” in 6 games. A very good sign.
- Granderson- He started strong and followed suit. He will show us results of his hard work from the off-season.
- Alex- No slouch, that's for sure. His timing is dead on and he's healthy as a horse.
