The Yankees have two potential franchise shortstops on their team. The problem is they don’t yet know who will start on Opening Day.
We’ve already discussed New York’s left field situation, which is slowly taking shape. Shortstop is a different conundrum. There is a pretty good idea of who should get the job. It’s just a matter if they will.
The good news for manager Aaron Boone is that he really only needs to pick between three players. Yes, Cabrera could technically be the Opening Day shortstop, but that won’t be his everyday role.
