Tyler Wade has impressed so far this Spring Training. He’s done enough to warrant a roster spot on opening day according to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone. It looks like he’s going to be platooning alongside newly acquired Neil Walker, but regardless, he’s going to get more of an opportunity to prove himself than he did last season.
According to Mike Mazzeo of the New York Daily News, Boone feels that both Wade and Walker will see substantial time early on this season.
“I wouldn’t necessarily anoint either one of them (the starter),” Boone said.
