I have Andy Pettitte as one of my bench pitchers in fantasy baseball and I’m wondering if I should make him a starter.
A+ Andy Pettitte
Total domination. He reached his pitch count and then came out of the game with only 1 earned run against him. I guess you can say he’s ready for the season.
A+ Mark Teixeira
I’ve read that Mark doesn’t perform well under pressure. Do you know where I’ve read that from? From Red Sox fans. He had 2 RBI’s.
A Derek Jeter
He got on base twice and scored a run. Typical Jeter production.
A Jose Veras
After having a good year last year, I see him having a great one this season. He gave up 1 hit and no runs in 1 inning and lowered his spring era to 1.80.
C + Brett Gardner
He didn’t get a hit but he scored a run and threw out Scott Rolen out at third base. That has to account for something.
F Nick Swisher
It makes sense why Girardi picked Xavier Nady to start in right-field. Swisher went 0-for-4 and lowered his spring batting average down to .239. You can say that the announcement of Nady starting could of made Swisher not play as well the rest of the way but if you are a professional, you must bring effort every day.
Player of the Game: Andy Pettitte
There’s nothing more you can say about how well Andy has pitched. I wouldn’t be surprised if he became the best pitcher on the Yankee roster this year.
