Melky to Appeal Suspension

Melky Cabrera will most likely appeal his three-game suspension for his role in the brawl between the Yankees and Rays on Wednesday. The Rays are saying that Melky punched third baseman Evan Longoria. Cabrera denies it, "I didn't hit nobody," Cabrera said Saturday, speaking through a translator. "I don't know what it's coming from. I just come to play baseball." Cabrera also said he wants to play on opeining day.

There is also apparently video evidence of the punch (which I would love to see), so I doubt he will have his suspension overturned.
