Rivera will have limited work this spring

Peter Abraham is reporting that Mariano Rivera will not pitch until at least Wednesday. From there, he will only pitch 8-10 innings of spring ball.

Not bad for three years and $45 million.

Rivera usually has periods of the season where he struggles. However, he is older and had a down year overall, yet still got a huge pay raise. Hopefully he will return to his old form, even though we probably won't know coming out of Spring Training.
