Yankees set 25 man roster

The Yankees are all set for the season as it was confirmed that the club will carry three catchers unless anything dramatic happens. Wil Nieves is out of options and will not be put through waivers as Brian Cashman explores possible trade options for the backup catcher. Also making it to Oakland is Scott Proctor, who despite his wildness will be carried whilst Carl Pavano and Aaron Small open the season on the DL.

So no real major shocks by the Yankees, but to be honest we aren't really a club who deals in surprises. Those to watch out for in AAA include Kevin Howard who came over in the Tony Womack trade, I really liked the look of him in ST and will be interested to see how he fares down in Columbus.

The 25 man is as follows:

Catchers:
Posada
Stinnett
Nieves

IF:
Giambi
Phillips
Cano
Cairo
Jeter
Rodriguez

OF:
Matsui
Damon
