A.J. Takes The Mound Today (WATCH OUT!!!)

Today's the big day.  We've seen CC go out and look solid for a first start, we've seen Phil do the same, and we've been blown away by the performances of ManBan and The Beast.  But today A.J. takes the hill for his first Spring Training start and I don't know about the rest of you out there in Yankeeland, but I am ready for anything to happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went out there and struck out all 6 batters he faces.  I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get an out.  Will his pitches be sharp?  Will he be able to locate the curveball?  Will he give up a few hits and start crying on the mound?  Will he hit any batters?  Will his head explode?

One thing you can say about an A.J. start is at least they are exciting.  The fact that literally anything can happen does make it a bit more entertaining, so I guess that's a positive that comes with all the negatives related to his "wild card" status.

So what do we get today?  Good A.J. or Bad A.J.?  Stay tuned!!
