Who's Hot

That Arod is soo hot right now
Seriously though, Arod is on fire this spring.  He has at least one hit in every game he played this spring, except for last night when he went 0-2.  It's ok, he's still batting .410 with 5 home runs and the team high 12 RBI's this spring.  I know it leaves me thinking...... Save some for October!

Jeter is loving his new stride/swing!  It took him a few games to get it going, but over the last two weeks he has improved dramatically. His average is now .341

Granderson is having a tremendous spring.  He is batting .385 with 7 RBI's & 15 hits (2nd most to Arod with 16)  It looks like he is trying to make his speed a factor once again this year 3 triples and 2 stolen bases.  It really started coming together last season when he made some progress with Kevin Long.  His average against lefties in 2009 was .183, but jumped up to .234 in 2010.  It's still not great, but that is a 50 point improvement over one season.  This will now be his second season in New York and I think we will see some serious improvements in Granderson this year, the more he works with Long.

Texeira is determined to have a strong start to the season this year.  He is batting .317 with a team high 8 doubles.  Texeira is laying off the weights and working more on getting time in the cages.  Normally his spring training routine includes more weight training, but this year he is just working on getting as many swings in as possible.  The more swings he takes now, the quicker it will allow him to get in the groove, thus eliminating those terrible April's for Texeira.  Less time in the gym though, could mean less home runs though come later this season.  Might be something to keep an eye out for later.

Eric Chavez has made some heads turn this year and it looks like he is going to make the team as a utility infielder (1st & 3rd) along with Nunez (2nd & SS).  Chavez has not only learned how to play 1st base legitimately, by working with Tino, but he is also batting .341!  Yesterday he injured his calf, but it doesn't seem serious and he is not in jeopardy of missing opening day.
