New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Spring Training Lineups 3-14-11

What started out early this morning as a routine spring exhibition gets the rivalry treatment on national television tonight between the Yankees and Red Sox as, Manny Banuelos, one of the young studs of the Yankee farm system gets the last minute nod from manager Joe Girardi to replace injured Sergio Mitre.  The game will be on ESPN 2 at 7:05 pm

Mariano Rivera himself called the twenty-year old the greatest pitching prospect he has ever seen.

Bartolo Colon: Sign and Trade?

Ben Shpigel at the NY Times has a short piece about how Girardi is impressed by Colon and I think the Yanks should sign him before he opts out and then include him in a trade package early in the season.
