Solarte should get the other backup job along with Nunez. Yanks may find something good with Solarte. Give the kid a chance- and let him get a few early season at bats.
Not many people expected Mattingly or Cano to turn into the players they would eventually become - Of course I'm not saying Solarte is going to be an MVP-All Star type player like those two players, the point is, sometimes you just never know how well a young player will rise to the challenge of playing with top competition. There are certain players who actually raise their game when they get their chance in the big show. I wouldn't be surprised if the Yanks have a couple of lesser known youngsters down on the farm who could eventually surprise people. We can all agree many times hot-shot high draft picks turn into mediocre major leaguers - at best!
Well we have a very questionable infield, an injury prone center fielder & a 36 year old right fielder so this may be the year when several of our farm hands get a chance.
