Mel's Replacement Next Year?
From The News:
Leiter has fit in quickly. He worked out with strength and conditioning coach Jeff Mangold yesterday - "I've known him for years," Leiter said - and took advantage of the Yanks' scouting videos. He said it was "pretty cool" how his new teammates embraced him right away, noting that Gary Sheffield gave him a helpful word about tipping his cut fastball. Sheffield told Leiter to make sure he came over the top with his delivery, rather than throwing from the side, since that allowed Sheffield to see the ball sooner when he was facing Leiter.
That Sheff, he really does have some eye!
