<P>
"I'm going to do something about it," Cabrera said. "I want to start Opening Day in New York."
</P><P>
Cabrera, 23, was disciplined for "violent and aggressive actions" during the fracas, according to Bob Watson, Major League Baseball's vice president of on-field operations.
</P><P>
The Rays claimed that Cabrera hit Rays infielder Evan Longoria in the back of the head during the fracas, which sparked when the Yankees' Shelley Duncan slid spikes-high into second baseman Akinori Iwamura. 
</P><P>
"That needed to end up in discipline," Rays manager Joe Maddon said Friday. "That is inappropriate to sneak up from behind somebody and hit them in the back of the head. Nobody is going to agree that is the right thing to do. I'm pleased they caught all of that in the video, and that is appropriate action."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7CB18DD2-EFEC-4C2E-B039-28631C95E7F7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
