CLEARWATER, Fla. -- At the moment, Miguel Andujar may be the best hitter in the Grapefruit League, and his sights remain set upon convincing the Yankees that he should be their Opening Day third baseman.
Andujar homered in each of his first two at-bats on Thursday against the Phillies at Spectrum Field, slugging first-pitch shots off Nick Pivetta in the second inning and Pedro Beato in the third inning.
Andujar's solo smash "It's a matter of going out there with a plan, paying attention and seeing how they're pitching you, and trying to make the adjustments and implement that in your next at-bat," Andujar said earlier this week through an interpreter.
