Observations from Yankees spring training on Monday: Rice is cooking Ben Rice flashed a nice glove at first base, robbing Enmanuel Valdez of a base hit with a diving catch to his right in the third inning. Not again Jake Bird, who struggled badly after being acquired at last year’s trade deadline from Colorado, gave up two more runs to the Pirates. Caught my eye Giancarlo Stanton smashed a 424-foot homer to left-center. The shot was measured at 109 mph and was his first of the spring. But can he open a bag of Doritos? Tuesday’s schedule Luis Gil gets the start against the Phillies at 1:05 p.m.
