Here’s a rundown of the key things to look for during Yankees’ spring training:
Best position battle
GM Brian Cashman says first base is Luke Voit’s to lose but is fully aware Greg Bird could unseat Voit with a strong and healthy spring training. Despite the injuries, it’s still easy to be seduced by Bird’s swing in Yankee Stadium.
Most intriguing minor leaguer
Center fielder Estevan Florial will be in camp for a second straight year, and he is the Yankees’ top prospect. However, injuries limited him to 75 games at Tampa (Single-A) last year and the 21-year-old hasn’t played above Single-A, where he fanned 87 times in 294 at-bats last season.
