When the Yankees play their first Grapefruit League game Friday, the competition for the second and third base jobs will begin in earnest. It seems like Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar will spend most of the season at those positions, but who knows? Strange things happen. Maybe Tyler Wade blows everyone away in camp or Danny Espinosa forces the issue. We’ll see.
Andujar got his feet wet with the Yankees last season and Torres likely would have as well had he not torn his non-throwing elbow ligament on an awkward slide into home plate. Gleyber had Tommy John surgery in June, rehabbed the injury, and is now a full go in Spring Training.
