Yankees undecided about catching split
MLB.com reports Yankees manager Joe Girardi hasn't decided who his opening-day catcher will be between Francisco Cervelli or Chris Stewart, but he appears happy with the tandem as spring training winds down.
"I think these guys have played pretty well in camp. They've done a nice job with our staff," Girardi said. "Coming into camp, I think there were some questions about Cervy a little bit about throwing, because he had struggled in the past, but we had seen him really good when he first came up. I think he's back to that level again."
Girardi also hasn't figured out how he will split up playing time between the two catchers.
"It can work out pretty well, actually," Girardi said. "You can do it that way, keep them fresh, they know when they're playing. I think that's the big thing if you can sort it out as soon as you can, so they have a plan of when they're playing. I think that's important."
