Non-Roster Invitees
Published 1/15/2008 by James at YanksBlog.com
MLB.com has an article up detailing the 26 non-roster players that the team is inviting to Spring Training . That brings the total number of players scheduled to report to 66. Melancon and McCutchen, huh? Let's hope they turn a few heads since they are not on the fast track to the Bronx this year. The same thing goes for Gardner and Horne, except those guys will probably be called up at some point during the season. Finally, Montero is something of a surprise to me. I guess that just says a lot about how much they think of this kid.

The Yankees invited 26 players to Spring Training.
Chad Jennings has a great rundown of each player in his blog and he handicaps the chances of each one making the team.
For my part, I view things this way. The Yankees are going to enter camp with about 21 spots settled. Look at this potential roster: Posada, Molina, Duncan, Betemit, Giambi, Cano, Jeter, A-Rod, Damon, Matsui, Cabrera, Abreu, Wang, Pettitte, Mussina, Hughes, Kennedy, Joba, Rivera, Farnsworth, Hawkins.
That leaves you with 3 pitchers and another hitter who can make the club. ...
