Yankees show interest in Feliciano, Upton

The Yankees expressed interest in left-handed reliever Pedro Feliciano and outfielder Justin Upton today.

I know the Yankees won’t have Damaso Marte back from surgery until the second half at the earliest, but I don’t think the Yankees need to invest in a free agent lefty. I trust Boone Logan and whoever the farm has in store.

As for Upton, I don’t see him fitting at all. The Yankees already have three outfielders and are possibly pursuing a fourth in Carl Crawford. Upton is 23 years old and would have too high an asking price.

If I were you, I’d listen to Brian Cashman:

Cashman: Don’t expect much this week [LoHud]

Burnett shelled early in loss to D’Backs

The Diamondbacks rocked A.J. Burnett in the first inning for five runs on three homers to put the game away early. They went on to win 10-4, as 22-year-old Justin Upton led the way with a 3-for-3 day including two homers, four RBIs and four runs scored.

Best of All: Brett Gardner had a huge day in the No. 8 spot, going 4-for-4 with a stolen base. He scored twice, but didn’t drive in any runners.

Chad Gaudin had a nice day in relief: 2 IP, H, 0 R, BB, K.

Worst of All: Burnett was atrocious: 4 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. Burnett’s 6-6 with a 4.83 ERA.

Chan Ho Park allowed Upton’s second homer dampening his line to 2 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 3 K.

Coming Up: The Yankees will look to get out in front early tomorrow at 9:40 p.m.
