WANG SHARP IN LAST SPRING FLING March 27, 2008 -- CLEARWATER, Fla. - His work on a slider and change-up complete, Chien-Ming Wang is ready to begin a season in which he will be the Opening Day starter Monday at Yankee Stadium against Toronto. "He had a decent spring," Joe Girardi said of his ace who gave up four runs and six hits in five innings yesterday in a 4-0 loss to the Phillies at Bright House Field. "Today was his best day." Like Ian Kennedy on Tuesday, Wang was hurt by misplays in the field. During a four-run second, second baseman Robinson Cano botched a double-play pivot by trying to bare hand the toss from Wilson Betemit, and Alex Rodriguez was charged with an error on a bad-hop ground ball. Following the four-run second, pitching coach Dave Eiland instructed Wang to start pitching inside more. "He told me the hitters were too comfortable and that I should make them move their legs," Wang said. "I felt better after that." Wang finished the spring with an inflated 8.04 ERA. http://tinyurl.com/257cod --
