TAMPA — You can make it about just one inning. Or that it still will only be March 18. Or about the miles left to go.

This has been a boring Yankees spring camp — boring being great for an expected contender since it means no new injuries, an absence of controversy and mainly a veteran core getting ready for the test ahead. This is where “running it back” with essentially the same roster as ended last year has resonance, evoking the been-there, done-that ambiance with this group.
