Positions Up For Grabs

It is early in the spring. But in Yankee camp this year there are some positions to be won.

The big fight is for centerfield and give the early lead to Brett Gardner. He has had a good first few games with the bat and is playing a solid game in the field. He is out of the Yankee system and is someone you can root for. Gardner is in a battle with Melky Cabrera and Nick Swisher for the job. But Swisher is more of a Conner guy with Texiera back up at first.

In right Xavier Nady and Swisher are up for that job which could wind up in a platoon. In 1996 there was a lot of platoon players and in worked out well. Maybe that is the way to go on a team with a lot of superstars. It is early and just the first week of exhibition games...just an idea, Joe.
