The Yankees are going to carry a utility infielder and neither Berroa or Pena is on the roster. So they are going to have to DFA Giese just to add one of them. So they can't add Tomko unless they want to DFA two players. So basically I think this is down to Albaladejo and Aceves. Well there is another thing working in his favor.

I think I'm just surprised at how many opportunities he has been given to make the team in a relatively short amount of time. I'm happy with him over Tomko or Giese, though I still think Robertson should, and will, get a look. Not a big deal either way. He’s certainly deserving.

He can come out of the pen and get you a ground ball DP when you need one. He's really the only pure sinker-slider guy they have. 2-Had a very strong winter ball in the Puerto Rican league. 3-He's more useful than a long man. Pettitte, CC and Wang should all give you innings, AJ threw 223 last year. The only guy who doesn't figure to you length is Joba. The bullpen has to get SOME work somewhere. 4-He was good last year before he hurt his elbow and was good in 07 for the Nats. Very pleased with this news, and so far Girardi has yet to make a misstep this spring IMO. A few reasons why Alby’s the man:
