One of the players that has performed well out of the gate to start spring training is the stopgap shortstop, Troy Tulowitzki. Spring training numbers aren’t a reliable indicator of what a player will wind up doing over the year, but in Tulo’s case seeing him healthy enough to put together some solid contact is the only indicator the Yankees really need to see at this point.
This will be an interesting year for Tulowitzki’s career path. After sitting out all of last season due to injury, he has a chance to reestablish himself in a short-term starting spot while Didi Gregorius recovers from Tommy John surgery.
