Miguel Andujar – New York Yankees 3B

Spring Training is in full swing and the Yankees seem to have their team set and it looks pretty good on paper. The offseason hopes of signing Harper or Machado never came to be, but honestly I think it was for the better. Machado signed with the Padres, who aren’t and won’t be a winning team, so it seems to be all about the money for him. With Harper, he still hasn’t even signed yet put things are starting to look like he will sign with the Giants, who aren’t all that good either. Anyway, the Yankees still have a pretty stacked roster, the question is can they take down the reigning champion Red Sox. With additions of DJ LaMahieu and Troy Tulowitski on offense as well as James Paxton and Adam Ottovino on the pitching end, they have improved. My only worry is the lack of lefties in the lineup, with the only ones in the starting lineup being Hicks and Gardner, but I honestly see Frazier starting over Garnder by seasons end. Another battle that will be fun to see play out in the starting lineup is Voit vs. Bird, and at the moment Voit has the edge, but apparently Bird has improved a lot. Miguel Andujar seems to look like he will be our 3rd basemen of the future and everything is lined up for him to succeed with the Yankees as Nolan Arenado has signed a hefty extension with the Rockies. There is several questions leading to the start of the season, but I believe the Yankees will succeed and it will be fun to see play out.
