Anything can happen between now and when the New York Yankees break from spring training at the end of March, but barring injuries, it doesn’t appear as if the 25-man roster will be too difficult to project.
The team’s star-studded cast makes a vast majority of the 25-man roster easy to predict. In fact, there are really only two places where there are no guarantees. The final infield spot should end up being a battle between Eduardo Nunez and Scott Sizemore, and the final spot in the bullpen could seemingly be won by a bevy of pitchers.
There are certainly favorites in each battle, though, and the Yankees will likely head into camp with a roster extraordinarily similar to this one—if not identical.
