Yankees Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes have commanded the most attention this spring, as usual, due to their high-profile battle for the No. 5 spot in the rotation, but the club's "other" pitchers vying for that spot as well as bullpen roles have given the Yankees a lot to feel good about one way or the other.

If the team decides to go against its long-term plan of committing to one of its young stars as a starter this year, it knows Alfredo Aceves, Sergio Mitre and Chad Gaudin have each gotten off to solid starts this spring.

If the Yankees stick to the more long-term friendly plan of grooming a potential stud starter, they at least know they have a potential star setup man in Dave Robertson.

While talk of a Chamberlain-Hughes setup combination is tantalizing, Robertson...

Alfredo Aceves has more to worry about than the competition for the No. 5 starter spot in the Yankees' rotation. "My family, my car. I don't know. I don't want a lot of things in my head," the soft-spoken Aceves said Saturday with a laugh. It's easy to joke when your spring has been this dominant.
