Now that the 2014 spring training is fully underway, The New York Yankees can officially begin their quest to return to the top of the American League East standings and the playoffs.
This camp is certainly going to have a different feel than many of the previous visits to George M. Steinbrenner Field.
This is the first camp since 1995 that Mariano Rivera won’t be an active part of.
This is also the last camp that captain Derek Jeter will ever be a part of.
Camp also begins with an unfamiliar feeling of not making the playoffs the previous season.
Despite all that, and a lot of new faces around the ballpark, the key decisions have already been made heading into the season.
What remains is a to-do list that features filling a couple of positions and just getting ready physically and mentally for the 162-game marathon that is right around the corner.
