The 411 from Steinbrenner Field
By Joe Auriemma
Joe Girardi spoke to the media and talked openly about the center-field job and who has the edge on winning it — Brett Gardner or Melky Cabrera. Girardi seems to feel that both Gardner and Cabrera could split time at the position when the season begins. He likes how both players are very good defensively, and with the bolstered rotation, these two players would add a spark to the team.
It’s just been announced that Nick Swisher is day-to-day with a bruised lower left calf.
I’ll be blogging again in a little bit.
AJ didn’t have his best tonight but he still looked good. Mo? Perfection. Bruney? Not so much.

We’ll see how things work out, but I’m still a firm believer that Joba should be in the bullpen and Hughes should be in the rotation.
Platooning the CF position. Will it simply be a chance to play one against lefties and another against righties?
