First full practice today for the Yankees, and according to Peter Abraham of the Journal News there were doing some running. Jeter had a good quote too. Also, even though Girardi is going to be tougher, as it seems, the running has to do with the new strength and conditioning coach, and the longer runs will help the players get their legs under them unlike the shorter sprints that did last year, which was why half the team had a leg issue coming out of spring training.

Damon was ready to throw in the towel? SI had a report.

A few notes from the Bombers Beat blog: Andy Pettitte threw 45 pitches in a bullpen session and says he can feel his legs a bit weaker than usual, thanks to those trips back and forth from Washington D.C. He's not worried about catching up ... OF prospect Austin Jackson is the first caualty of camp, suffering from back spasms. He's expected to return to action on Thursday.

Kat O'Brien of Newsday had some notes on the first full-squad workout ... In it, Kyle Farnsworth's staph infection was real serious.

In other baseball news, Jeremy Brown, who played five games for the A's retired last week. Who is Jeremy Brown you ask, he was one of the players the A's drafted and was featured in Moneyball. The venerable Murrary Chass had the story.

This is great.

Saw this on the ESPN Spring Training Blog.
According to Andrew Marchand, of 1050 ESPN Radio,
CASHMAN'S JOB NOT ON THE LINE IN '08 (12:49 p.m. ET)Hank Steinbrenner said Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., that Yankees GM Brian Cashman's job is not on the line this season, even though he has hinted at that in several of his comments this spring because of Cashman's decision not to pursue Johan Santana.
Steinbrenner declined to say how he plans on judging Cashman's performance this season. Cashman is in the final year of his contract.
