Coming into this spring, most of the Yankees’ roster spots were pretty much decided. The only real “competitions” were going to be for the last spot in the bullpen and the last spot on the bench. Keep in mind that I’m not counting the fifth starter competition here because I’m fairly certain all three candidates will be on the roster no matter what. Anyway, the popular belief is that that last bench spot will eventually go to a guy who can back up third base.
