Early ST Thoughts And Afterthoughts

Camp has been in full swing for over a week now, which means there has been just enough activity to start talking about what's been happening.  In no particular order, here are my takes on the early Spring Training storylines in Yankee camp after the jump.

So The Horse has his most injury-plagued season ever, gets another new offseason workout program, tries some of the Kobe Bryant plasma treatment special on his knee, comes to camp, Tim Brown from Yahoo! writes a story about the impassioned speech he gave to the team prior to their ST opener, I write a piece based off that story yesterday telling people not to forget about A-Rod just yet, and he comes out and goes 3-3 with a monster opposite-field HR off of Roy Halladay on the first pitch he sees.

Is that how it works?  That sound about right?
