With spring training just around the bend, the New York Yankees are preparing for a position battle in left field. Aaron Hicks, Oswaldo Cabrera, Rafael Ortega, and Willie Calhoun all project to have an opportunity to steal the job, but Cabrera has the upper hand.
The 23-year-old is coming off a solid rookie season, playing 44 games and enjoying 171 plate appearances. He hit .247 with a .312 OBP, six homers, and 19 RBIs with a 111 wRC+. However, he tallied 13 defensive runs saved across multiple positions, including nine in the outfield.
