While some Yankees fans would love nothing more than to see Gleyber Torres at second base and Miguel Andujar at third base come opening day, it’s not going to happen.
First of all, much like the Cubs did with Kris Bryant in 2015, Torres will most certainly spend the first two weeks of the regular season in the minors to delay his service time. Although I’m not a fan of this practice, I understand two weeks equals one extra, low-cost contractural year. So be it.
Then there’s Andujar, who may very well be big league ready with the stick but still lacks consistency with his glove and throwing accuracy from across the diamond.
