Dust off your cleats and break-in your gloves, because today we’re kicking off New York Yankees Spring Training!

So why not celebrate by cooking up a few early predictions on this year’s Spring Training outcome to get the ball rolling?

Keep in mind that these predictions all imply a healthy roster. Even though it’s easy to guess certain players with a high chance to land on the DL, injuries usually pop-up from time-to-time, so let’s not play Baseball God.

The Yankees have an interesting array of battles for backup catcher, bullpen spots, and the 25th man on the roster. Today we’ll examine the values that players like Gary Sanchez, James Pazos, Branden Pinder, Yulieski Gourriel, and more all bring to the Yankees coming straight out of Spring Training for the beginning of the 2016 season.

Let us know what you think about the predictions in the comment section below!
