Open Thread: March 21st Camp Notes

The Yankees had an off-day today and it was a complete off-day with no workouts scheduled on the Major League side. So, with no mini-game recap to share, I command you to read this Tyler Kepner article on the Big Three. That was one hell of a nostalgic read. RAB was just becoming a thing when it appeared Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, and Joba Chamberlain were going to be the future of the rotation. Anyway, here is the little bit of news from Tampa:

• The Yankees had Rob Refsnyder head to the minor league complex for more work at third base today. He went through infield drills with various coaches and instructors as the team tries to help him become more comfortable at the hot corner. [Brendan Kuty]
• Luis Cessa threw his entire 30-pitch bullpen session from the stretch Sunday. Are the Yankees preparing him for a relief role? “No, I didn’t think he threw the ball well from the stretch the other day,” said pitching coach Larry Rothschild. [Fred Kerber, George King]
• If you’re interested, here are the day’s minor league lineups (via Kuty). Jorge Mateo almost took a fastball to the face (video via Kuty), and James Kaprielian was 94-97 mph with an 87 mph slider during his start, a scout told Erik Boland.
• The Yankees are playing the Mets at home tomorrow night. Luis Severino is the scheduled starter. Right now there is no broadcast for that game. Hopefully YES or SNY pick it up.

This is tonight’s open thread. MLB Network is showing Reds-Padres live later tonight, and both the (hockey) Rangers and Islanders are playing as well. Talk about those games or whatever else right here.
