Jeter discussed how he's feeling coming off surgery, CC talked about how he's preparing for Opening Day and Pettitte compared his ability as a pitcher now to when he was younger. Mark Teixeira and Brian Cashman also stopped by to chat.

Ichiro Suzuki went 3-for-3 to lead the Yankees. He legged out an infield single, stole second and scored on Mark Teixeira's double in the first inning off Kyle Kendrick.
"This is probably going to spark a bunch of stuff, and (Yankees PR director Jason) Zillo is going to be mad at me, but it's one of those things where it's like, do you think you have the capability to start? Yes," Chamberlain said.
Yankees ace CC Sabathia has taken part in the latest internet sensation. The jovial left-hander tweeted on Tuesday, "You Ready? Me & friends made a Harlem Shake video. Give me your rating 1-10 & give it a RT if you like it #HarlemShake."
