David Bednar, the Yankees' closer and impending free agent, is preparing for his first full season in pinstripes and is focused on winning championships. Despite being demoted to Triple-A by the Pirates last April, Bednar bounced back and found himself saving games in his first postseason appearance. He has been praised for his steady presence in the team and clubhouse by Aaron Boone, who believes he sets the right example for the team. Bednar's performance and desire to win a World Baseball Classic championship is also a priority.
