TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Hank Steinbrenner expected new manager Joe Girardi would run an excellent spring training camp. The New York Yankees’ general partner has not been disappointed.
“I think the players have the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ back,” Steinbrenner said. “It’s gone great. Everybody’s fit. Everybody came here ready to go.”
Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi said Girardi’s intensity has had an impact.
“I think camp has gone great,” Giambi said. “We’re playing good aggressive baseball.”
The final two weeks of spring training should see no drop in intensity, with decisions on first baseman, designated hitter and the bullpen among those pending.
“These next two weeks become real important,” Girardi said. “The think is, you always have to be ready because you’re expected to compete the next two weeks. If you don’t start with us, you have to be ready because things happen. The next two weeks is a trial run for a lot of people.”
New York opens the regular season March 31 against Toronto at Yankee Stadium.
