Sims: They Say They Feel Great, But Tanaka And Beltran Remain Concerns
It does seem likely that Tanaka -- a fastball pitcher who's had a UCL injury at such a young age -- is destined for Tommy John surgery. The real question is, if not now, when?

It does seem likely that Tanaka -- a fastball pitcher who's had a UCL injury at such a young age -- is destined for Tommy John surgery. The real question is, if not now, when?
A-Rod returns on Wednesday for his first game in 17 months, slated to be a designated hitter for two or three at-bats against the Phillies at Steinbrenner Field in New York's spring training home opener.
Why is Albero walking 1,200 miles? To raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Albero's nephew, Gary, was killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"I tried not to go too hard today," Tanaka said. "The reason is, it's natural once you get on the mound and once you're facing batters you want to go hard. That's what I was thinking on the mound."
Alex Rodriguez will skip the Yankees' exhibition opener against Philadelphia in Clearwater and is slated to make his spring training debut at Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday.
He may be ready to become the man. At least that's what the Yankees are hoping is Michael Pineda's new mindset.
The Yankees begin exhibition play Tuesday against the Phillies. Manager Joe Girardi said he'll announce Monday whether Rodriguez will be in the lineup for the game.
The 34-year-old left-hander was hobbled by a degenerative cartilage problem in his right knee last season and didn't pitch after May 10. He had surgery in July.
In addition to cheering, many of the about 500 fans in attendance Thursday called out A-Rod's name as he moved from drill to drill and in and out of the batting cage.
If the old man ever heard the new-age, "I'm OK, you're OK" stuff coming out of Yankees co-owner Hal Steinbrenner's mouth lately, he'd blow his top.
"Hopefully this spring he can contribute, that's the bottom line," Steinbrenner, the Yankees' co-chairman, said. "He can hit. He's a natural. Hopefully he can still do it."
Don't expect the Yankees' slugger to start going the other way. The first baseman isn't about to sacrifice his power.
The Yankees have said Alex Rodriguez's days of being an everyday fielder are over. But that didn't stop him from showing off the old glove and arm on Thursday.
The Yankees are considering whether to give rotation pitchers an extra day between starts occasionally by using a sixth starter, an idea Tanaka thinks is good.
Does that mean he'd go full-blown Boss? Could there be an organizational shakeup? It sounds like he's not ruling anything out.
At the risk of public redundancy and personal duplicity, I say give Alex Rodriguez a chance. A chance to show his face. A chance to swat a single to win a game.
Inside the Yankees fridge, there's a plethora of leftovers. The lobster isn't fresh. The filet mignon is long gone. But, this is it. Hal's done shopping.
Boomer's self-proclaimed BFF found himself pining for days gone by before reaching the 'bottom-line' and concluding that 'it's time to start acting like Americans'...
All-time saves leader and iconic Yankee Mariano Rivera showed up at Yankees camp on Wednesday. Mo will serve as a guest instructor in Tampa.
The man considered MLB's true home run king told Newsday earlier this week that he wants to see A-Rod come back strong after serving a yearlong suspension for PEDs.
Alex Rodriguez started his second day of workouts at the Yankees' minor league complex by hugging Chase Headley, the player signed to replace him at third base.
Is the city's baseball landscape about to shift? Curtis Granderson, who played for the Yankees from 2010-13 and is entering his second season with the Mets, certainly thinks so.
"He's learned nothing," an unnamed baseball exec told the New York Daily News. "He's the same old guy. He just did what he wanted to do."
Brian Cashman made a mistake on Monday, one that he might regret in a big way in a few years. Or Moncada might not pan out, and Cashman will look smart. But this was a risk worth taking.
Days after releasing a handwritten apology to fans, A-Rod may have created another reason to say he's sorry by not giving his bosses a heads up that he was en route to spring training.
