Despite being just two weeks away from Opening Day, the outlook of the Yankees’ bench is not yet entirely clear. At the moment, there are maybe one or two guarantees on the Yankees’ bench right now, meaning the organization still has several decisions to make with regard to who will fill out the final spots on the roster.
Perhaps the only certainty on the Yankees’ bench comes in the form of Austin Romine. The 29-year-old is all but guaranteed to begin his third consecutive year in the Yankees’ backup role, and with good reason. He’s had more experience with the pitching staff than any other player in the organization, and he seems comfortable being in this position.
