Roster Spots Finalizing

Though some things still need to be worked out (DL'ing players, etc.), the Yankees roster is now pretty much set. Wil Nieves has beaten out Todd Pratt for the backup catcher's spot. Sean Henn has earned a spot as a 2nd lefthander in the bullpen. There's been no official announcement, but it appears Brian Bruney and Darrell Rasner are on the roster as well.
Ron Villone has been asked to take a minor league assignment at Scranton.
