The New York Yankees are ready for Opening Day in Houston. Nestor Cortes will be facing off against Framber Valdez in a lefty/lefty matchup and Stacey previews the game. Plus, what’s Stacey’s ideal lineup for Opening Day? Well, there’s more than one. There’s 1A and 1B. Plus, the Yankees made a trade that helped them out in a couple of ways by alleviating the three catcher problem by shipping Ben Rortvedt to Tampa and by getting a proven infielder from the Marlins in Jon Berti. Stacey tells you all about him. Then, Stacey tells you where Fangraphs ranks the Yankees’ starting rotation. The position may surprise you. And how is it possible that two players in the Yankees organization fractured orbital bones on the same day? And finally, former Yankee Jordan Montgomery finally signed with a team but Stacey finds everything about it fishy. From the contract itself to the team who finally did it. And why couldn’t the Yankees offer him something similar to what the DBakcs ultimately gave Monty? Also. what gives this offseason with regard to free agency? Is it the C word? Perhaps.
