I'm Brian -- it's time to talk baseball -- teams are reporting to spring training up please be joined at foxwoods dot com your MLB writer Ken Rosenthal can the Yankees kept the roster intact from last year when they wanted all. With the exception of batting outfielder Curtis Granderson. Are they yet still the team to beat.

Yes they are Brian and really when you look at them in spring training you're looking at a team that very few questions.

Good the fifth starter while that's a really rough question -- team let the Yankees or granderson play.

something I have to establish. We'll job coach used the one in the bullpen -- the bullpen however they figure it out that's something that being determined as well. But at granderson coming over with Javier Vasquez joint irritation and with the rest of the team war plans act except for the loss of David -- period. They are going to be again in the future beat the American League.

But not about the Yankees rival the red hot they have one of the best rotations in baseball but with a new pay -- a lot of.

They're gonna add up all spent hang with the yet.

That is the question but it's funny Bryant talked with someone threats such yesterday he mentioned that. Nine of their thirteen position players have hit 25 home runs and at least it.

I thought of those guys past their prime obviously thought it's not as if they're going to have an anemic offense. They just might not have this type of offense they had in the Ortiz Ramirez great years. When you look at them one through nine they're pretty good. It's just that some middle of the order without being now might not be as powerful as it did in the past.

Where they will be strong though is guys like Cameron and Beltre. School. Back in the bottom of the order that's pretty good.

Finally the L over the become the first -- team to win three consecutive -- or sixty years but with a huge payroll already in place for next year. Is this the last isn't put his core group.

They are pretty well intact through next year the one guy that is someone they might lose after this season is right it was Jason -- He's eligible for free agency.

And given their current payroll obligations for 20111230. Million dollars.

It's going to be difficult it -- to keep him as there are presently constructed. Now obviously in the off season they might produce some other things such as.

Perhaps trading Ryan Howard who make twenty million into doubt -- eleven and that's the last year of his deal. What largely they are going to be attacked first few more years.

And that's really good news for Philly fans -- have been waiting a long time for perennial power.

And really coming off back to back nationally titled first team did you get to me but that is that you read. They are a perennial power.

Can be another great your Philadelphia and we appreciate the insides don't forget fox sports not so much covered. Brought your baseball needs sport cannot run we'll get next.
