Impressive Pineda strikes out Cabrera
TAMPA, Fla. -- The best hitter in baseball looked overmatched. Michael Pineda stood on the mound. Miguel Cabrera waited in the batter's box. After ball one, Pineda went to work. He used a slider that Cabrera missed to even up the count. He followed up with a nasty curve. Up 1-2, he returned to the slider and Cabrera could not stop his swing. It is only spring training, but it highlighted an extremely impressive exhibition debut for Pineda. "It is tough to get Cabrera to swing and miss twice," one scout said.

Jeter, Cabera, Pineda & Joba at Big Stein

On the mound, Joba Chamberlain is making the trip for the Tigers, while Michael Pineda will take the hill for the first time this spring. Joe Girardi's hope is that Pineda can throw three innings. Here are the lineups on a cool (for Tampa) night at Steinbrenner Field: New York Yankees Jacoby Ellsbury, CF Jeter, SS Carlos Beltran, DH Brian McCann, C Alfonso Soriano, RF Brian Roberts, 2B Ichiro Suzuki,...

The New York Post reports that the M's spent some time scouting David Phelps yesterday as he got knocked around for five hits in 2 2/3 innings. Phelps is currently competing for the 5th spot in the Yankee rotation with Michael Pineda. Phelps is 27 and has pitched in the majors for parts of the last two seasons. He's...
