Yankees Set Opening Day Roster

                          

The Yankees have finalized the 25 man roster to open 2015 One will have to wonder whether Gregorio Petit's stint will be short lived once Pirela and Brendan Ryan are healthy, as well how long Alex Rodriguez and Tanaka can hold up after decent showings in the spring.  The consistency and health of this roster will be the ultimate key how things will shape out this year.

It's disappointing to see young players like Rob Refsnyder and Ramon Flores not get the chance to show their stuff, perhaps an opportunity will present itself over the course of the next six months. However, the team is here and ready to go, so it' time to welcome the Bronx's boys of summer:

Spring Training has come to an end and it is time for the real baseball season to kick off.  That's right ladies and gentleman Opening Day is upon us.  It is time to forget about the successes and failures of last year and put your best forward.  For the Yankees the goal is simple, raise a 28th championship banner and nothing else. reclaiming the top of the baseball mountain from the rival Boston Red Sox is the one and only priority.  The team is loaded with talent and should see a great deal of success this season, baring another disastrous year of injuries and underwhelming performances which plagued 2013.  It is sure to be a fun and emotional 162 games that includes the Derek Jeter career clock ticking down to its final days, bringing a trail of pinstriped tears with it for all who never though a year like this would come.  There are sure to be many moments to savor this year and hopefully it will end with a moment that will last through history, The captain raising the Commissioners Trophy one last time.
