Just arrived at Legends Field in Tampa. Boy, do I love Sunday morning drives down here. No drama.

 The Twins’ lineup mixes the present and future. The Yankees are trying to get a couple of their older players going - while complying with league rules that state a team must have ten players in its lineup. `Hip-hip, Jorge!’ Posada is catching AND leading off. And Hideki Matsui is playing in his sixth game this spring.

 Nick Punto said his bruised right triceps improved enough for him to swing left-handed yesterday. Joe Nathan said he’s scheduled to pitch two innings on Tuesday, so it’s all systems go for him after missing a few days with shoulder tendinitis.

Still waiting for the big update….

1. Denard Span, LF. 2. Luke Hughes, 2B. 3. Carlos Gomez, CF. 4. Jason Kubel, DH. 5. Brendan Harris, 3B. 6. Brian Buscher, 1B 7. Mike Redmond, C 8. David Winfree, RF 9. Trevor Plouffe, SS Pitching: Glen Perkins, then Nick Blackburn, Rob Delaney, Sean Henn, Ben Julianel, Kevin Mulvey.
