Description: The Yankees are bracing for bad news on C Francisco Cervelli's injured left foot, which could be broken. 'Usually when they can't tell you there is nothing wrong, there is usually something wrong,' GM Brian Cashman said. 'When it takes this long, it usually means there is something wrong.' SOURCE: New York Post
Insight: THis news opens the door for Jesus Montero to open the season with the Yankees, which would absolutely increase his value in 2011.

Description: Yankees C Francisco Cervelli left Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Astros at Steinbrenner Field with a bruised left foot. Cervelli fouled a ball off the arch in the second inning, stayed in the game to run after walking, and caught the top of the third before being removed. SOURCE: New York Post
Insight: This injury could allow Jesus Montero to pass Cervelli on the catching depth chart, giving him a better chance to stick with the Yankees out of Spring Training. If you are interested in Montero, continue to monitor this situation right up until your draft.

Description: The Yankees are impressed with the improvements C Francisco Cervelli made in the off-season. SOURCE: New York Post
Insight: A healthy Russell Martin and an improved Cervelli would help the Yankees deal away one fo their catching prospects to upgrade their starting rotation. If Cervelli sticks with the Yankees he would have value in AL-only leagues.
