Staying Up With the Yankees

The Evil Empire & the Beantown boys are even. We both have one starter with a minor injury. Phil Hughes, like Clay Buchholz, had a minor setback at camp. While Buck tweeked his hamstring Hughes came up with back stiffness yesterday & will miss a few days. I believe Buchholz is scheduled to throw a live BP session today, so he seems back from his few days off. Hughes isn't expected to miss any significant time either. The AL East will be tough this year with Baltimore trying to repeat a trip into the playoffs, Toronto getting a bunch of new free agents & Tampa Bay who still has good young pitching. 85 wins may be enough to get you into the playoffs this year.
