Yankees Notes: Chavez, Rotation, Damon

Four Yankees prospects -- Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances, Gary Sanchez, and Mason Williams -- made Baseball America's top 100 prospects list today.  The quartet also cracked top 100 lists from Keith Law and Kevin Goldstein this month.  The latest on the club:

• Yankees manager Joe Girardi accidentally talked about Eric Chavez as if he was on the Yankees' roster, in a discussion with reporters today.  GM Brian Cashman said the team was not closer to signing the third baseman, though ESPNNewYork's Andrew Marchand still expects a deal.  Sunday night, Chavez pegged his chances of returning to the Yankees at 50-50.  Joel Sherman of the New York Post heard that through Monday, the Yankees had not talked to Chavez's agents in several days.  He senses that the Yankees will stick to an offer in the $1MM range.
• Yahoo's Jeff Passan analyzes the struggles of the team's rotation additions of the last 15 years, and wonders if Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda can "flip history the bird" as C.C. Sabathia has.
• Sherman looks at why the Yankees chose Raul Ibanez over Johnny Damon.
