The arrival of Freddy Galvis could lead to Devon Travis and Lourdes Gurriel trying their hand at outfield this spring. Also: Hays to rise again in BAL, Swihart's prospects in BOS, Tulowitzki's rebound potential in NYY and where Font might slot in TAM.
With a hole at short in PIT, Erik Gonzalez appears to have inside track. Plus interim search for saves in CHC; Reds' rotation takes shape; a platoon at 2B is expected in MIL; and STL hasn't settled on a closer.
We're not talking about the post-game spread after the relievers do their thing, but the roles and skills imbalances on current rosters as spring training approaches.
The slow free agent market still keeps us from looking too closely at position battles. But names like newly-acquired Domingo Santana in SEA have playing time upside that may not be apparent in their current ADPs.
