— Mets centerfielder Carlos Beltran, 32 SPORTS QUOTE:‘I FELTALITTLE WEIRD.’ after going 0-for-3 as a DH in his first spring training game TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2008

Briefs NHL ■ Rangers at Yankee Stadium a possibility Two years before the NHL’s first regular-season outdoor game in Buffalo this past New Year’s Day, Yankee Stadium was seriously discussed as possible locale for a Rangers- Islanders game. Those plans cratered when the Yankees brass was concerned that building a rink would damage the infield and that cranking up the 80-year-old ballpark’s plumbing in the icy months might damage the pipes. But with the Yankees vacating the hallowed premises by October at the latest, the Rangers and Islanders, the NHL and NBC, which would Anderson Hernandez bats against the Red Sox in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The 7,353-person attendance yesterday at Tradition Stadium was a record. (AP) televise the game, have re- vived the idea, and two peo- ple familiar with the discus- sions say that although noth- ing is definite, the Stadium is the likely site for an outdoor game because the window of Sox make guests of Mets opportunity is closing.

amNewYork’s top fantasy baseball players at nine positions

If you’re in a non-keeper league, you’ll have a shot at drafting from the cream of the fantasy baseball crop. We polled five amNewYork fantasy enthusiasts about their top three players at nine positions (except for the outfield, where we asked for six choices), assuming standard scoring categories. The weighted voting points are in parentheses; the top choices are pictured directly above their positions. (All photos: Getty)
