New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi is not sure who the starting pitcher will be for the team Sunday, July 13. Newly acquired SP Jeff Francis may seem like a logical option, but he has not had a lot of work lately. "He's a guy that's probably in the 30 to 40 pitch range right now," Girardi said, noting that Francis hadn't arrived yet. "We'll talk to him when he gets here and see what he's been doing the last few days."

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi was not aware of SS Derek Jeter's plans to retire after the 2014 season. "I think we were all a little bit taken by it," Girardi said. "You are never sure how someone is going to do it, but I had no inkling that is what he was thinking, so I was little taken aback by it. ... In the [Facebook] article he had written about how it is more difficult to get ready, and when it becomes more than a job than just playing, then it is something [he has] to think about.
