I've acquired a new habit this spring of opening up the current Yankees roster to tell who's who. A tough job, this time of year.
For example, it's the 8th inning of a blowout game, so guys coming to the plate for the Yankees are likely to be rather obscure. So #69 is at bat. Quick, who is that?
Neither ESPN nor Baseball Reference have this guy included. What, did he just get to Tampa?
Fortunately, YES popped up with his name:
Armando Alvarez. Oh yeah, him. Who?
Getting to be long in the tooth for a rookie; been in the minors since 2013. Swung like a girl (sorry, ladies) at one pitch but then managed a double. Still, he's going to have to hit quite a few more to avoid an 8th season in the minors.
