TAMPA \u2014 Jameson Taillon called putting on a Yankees uniform for the first time Thursday \u201cspecial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you say it, everyone in baseball \u2014 every sports fan \u2014 knows what the Yankees pinstrip<\/a>es mean,\u201d Taillon said Friday. \u201cSo [Thursday], putting it on, even just sitting at my locker, I took a picture in my pants just at my locker. I thought it was so cool. I didn\u2019t know how it was going to feel until you actually get here and you\u2019re a part of this and you start feeling like a part of the team and organization. \u2026 I mean, it\u2019s the Yankees. What else can you say?\u201d<\/p>\n

More important for the Yankees, Taillon felt just as good throwing, as he comes back from a second Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for most of 2019 and all of last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy command\u2019s been good and the stuff has been good,\u2019\u2019 Taillon said. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m ready for another step here soon. We\u2019ll see how it translates.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expects to face hitters soon and, following what Taillon called an \u201cintense 35-pitch bullpen\u201d Thursday, he was able to long-toss Friday and said he \u201cfelt great.\u201d<\/p>\n

There figures to be plenty of competition for the fifth starter\u2019s spot this spring and Aaron Boone said Friday that Deivi Garcia will remain a starter instead of going to the bullpen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want him starting,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Garcia, 21, said he spent the offseason trying to \u201csimplify\u201d and \u201csharpen\u201d all four of his pitches.<\/p>\n

Others in the pen could provide length, including Jonathan Loaisiga.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll build him up,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Loaisiga. \u201cHe\u2019s got versatility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yankees could have some arms that could start open the season in the pen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess that\u2019s possible,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Darren O\u2019Day and Adam Ottavino are both right-handed, but have wildly different app<\/a>roaches and stuff. On a team \u2014 and in a bullpen \u2014 that features plenty of hard-throwers, O\u2019Day, who throws sidearm, is certainly different, which pitching coach Matt Blake hopes is a positive development for the staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if we explicitly said we need to vary our looks [in the pen],\u201d Blake said. \u201cBut I do think there\u2019s value in having different looks throughout the bullpen, so you\u2019re not running seven of the same guys out there and the other team gets adjusted to that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Before agreeing to a deal with Brett Gardner on Friday, the Yankees had just one player \u2014 Aroldis Chapman \u2014 who had been on a World Series<\/a>-winning team. When asked about the relative lack of title experience, Boone said, \u201cWe feel like we have a lot of strong personalities that lead in a number of different ways and we still may add to that mix.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Gardner back in the fold, they have.<\/p>\n

Boone also added, \u201cI feel good about the guys emerging as leaders in our room\u201d and pointed to Aaron Judge, DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit as examples.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
