I can't count how many times Bernie has said the following: I will do whatever the New York Yankees ask me to do to try and help us win. So if Joe Torre and our coaching staff feel that work on the corners is something that will provide more flexibility and more playing-time possibilities for him, then I'm sure they'll discuss that with him.
convince expressed level
I can't convince him to pitch; he has to want to pitch. There's nothing for us to do on our end. We expressed our level of interest.
