"You can tell he's determined to go out there and do well," Phelps said. "If you had to place a bet on it, you know he's going to go out there and have a good year. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play again."
Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has obtained a work visa and could depart for the United States as early as Sunday.
David Cone is about as beloved a former Yankee as there is, so when he suggests that Alex Rodriguez should avoid spring training like the plague, it might not be a bad idea for the disgraced slugger to comply.
We know this. The girlfriend is gone. The spikes are tied on tight. He has taken the first step of a long journey into 2014, and has left the scarred remnants of last season behind.
"It's the same deal," Robertson said Tuesday after a pre-spring training workout at the Yankees' minor league complex. "Throwing the eighth or ninth inning, you've still got to get three outs."
Matt Harvey, who was quoted last year as being an admirer of Derek Jeter's dating prowess, has ended his relationship with supermodel Anne V after weeks "on the rocks," Us Weekly reported on Sunday.
Jeter hit with authority to all fields during a five-round, 39-swing session Monday at the Yankees' minor-league complex. Jeter also took grounders at shortstop for the first time this year, fielding 34 balls at his usual position.
Scott Sizemore is among nine players agreeing to minor-league contracts with the Yankees, giving New York another option for Alex Rodriguez's replacement at third base.

"We each signed Japanese pitchers this week," Alderson said. "They're paying $155 million and we're paying our guy month to month."
Masahiro Tanaka follows Aaron Boone, Dave Righetti, Luis Sojo, Bob Turley and Robin Ventura as notable Yankees to wear the number 19.
The Yankees have traded left-hander David Huff to the Giants for cash, two days after he was designated for assignment by New York to make room for Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka.
"The game is pitching," Jeter said. "If you have great pitching, you always have an opportunity to win. From everything I've heard, he's going to be quite an addition to our team."
If the Yankees sign Drew, he won't start at shortstop -- Jeter certainly isn't moving positions. The 30-year-old could move over to third base -- or even second -- though he's only played shortstop in his eight-year career.
Babe Ruth's 1923 World Series championship pocket watch, for decades thought to be lost to history, is coming to a New York City auction, where it's expected to fetch at least $750,000.
As a longtime union leader, Glavine finds it "hard to believe" that Alex Rodriguez is claiming the MLBPA didn't do its job when they represented him in the grievance that lowered his 211-game suspension to 162 games.
If Tanaka and his Beethovian six-pitch mound symphony can turn into a No. 1 or No. 2 rotation option immediately, his richness in texture and rhythm can transform last year's also-ran into a contender. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
It seems there is at least one player who is unimpressed by the Yankees' offseason spending spree. Of course that player is on the Red Sox -- the world champion Red Sox he might add.
It seems the Yankees were steadfast in their budgetary discipline. Until they weren't. And thank goodness for that. Not only are we spoiled Yankees fans better off, but so is baseball.
Baseball seems far away; this latest snowstorm and recent blasts of frigid air certainly remind us that it will be a while before we hear "Batter up!" And yet, two names have not really gone away.
Asked to deliver a message to New York fans in English on Thursday, Tanaka said he plans to let his performance on the field do the talking.
Last year we had Rex Ryan on the beach with a curious tattoo. This year we have Alex Rodriguez posing with a mariachi band in Cancun.
