Earlier, we took a too-early look at the Yanks’ position battles. The Yankees have now played a dozen games this exhibition season, and since each player has more playing time under his belt, the picture is becoming a bit clearer.
Second Base
Gleyber Torres: After playing second base in seven of the Yanks’ first 12 games, Torres has one error in 19 total chances. However, he’s batting just .158. Torres will probably begin the season at Triple-A, even if he were performing better at the plate, because of MLB’s service time rules. Odds of making the opening day roster: 10-1.
