15-day disabled list
LHP Andy Pettitte
RHP Jeff Karstens

Note Pettite's presence on the DL to start.  He can come off a week from tomorrow (April 5).  Note also the lack of a designated long reliever, which is a very good thing to me considering how badly Igawa, Rasner, and Karstens--hereafter known by their collective acronym IRK--finished the Spring.  Also, there is no reason Ohlendorf can't go up to three innings if fresh.  What will be interesting to see is who goes down to Scranton once Pettite returns.  For now, Albaladejo seems the logical choice.  Yet the first five games without Pettite serve as sort of an extended audition period for Bruney, Ohlendorf, and Albaladejo to show their stuff.  I think Bruney and Ohlendorf were more consistent this Spring and should be ahead of Albaladejo, but if the kid comes in a couple times and blows people away, it might make Girardi and Eiland's choice much tougher.  Note also the first base situation, with no sure backup glove like Mientkiewicz was last year.  That's a problem, as Mike from The Sommer Frieze and Pete Abraham have pointed out more consistently than I.

The Yankees certainly have some questions, but other top-flight teams do as well, making the AL a fairly wide open race among the top teams in my opinion.
