Andy Pettitte? Wow, the Yankees must be thrilled to hear that. Andy, you only have so many bullets left, why are you wasting them in that tournament?

Ryan Braun had better be careful.
Players will be subject to drug testing by the World Anti-Doping Agency. A lot tougher than MLB's testing.

Totally agree. I'm sure he wants to play for Joe Torre again, but this seems very irresponsible to me. Unless you can somehow make the argument that the tournament helps him prepare for the regular season (I don't think that such an argument exists), the Yankees should do everything they can to stop Pettitte from playing.

I'm ok with him pitching in it. as long as he gets some kind of crazy baseball injury(or made up injury) at its conclusion that sidelines him for couple months and then comes back to the rotation about a month and half prior to the playoffs. At his age, he can't have anymore than 15-20 good starts in his arm.

from this tournament we would likely see a few players either pumped up or back to the DL shelf, should players get into the right direction?? we have to wait and see,,,
