New York Yankees: Freddy Galvis Fits As A Candidate To Fill Shortstop Vacancy

Unfortunately for the New York Yankees, starting shortstop Didi Gregorius will be out for six weeks after suffering a shoulder strain at the World Baseball Classic.

With a return date slated for early-to-mid May, manager Joe Girardi needs to find a replacement and while he has depth in his own system, none seem all that appealing.

Starlin Castro would be a defensive nightmare, Ruben Tejada has turned into a journeyman shortstop with one solid season back in 2012 and while Ronald Torreyes packs a quality glove, he has never truly received consistent major league at-bats to justify a starting role.
