(Obviously ain't going to be any of these)
One of the more fun parts of Spring Training is the juggling and assigning of numbers to new team members. The exercise is especially tricky for the Yankees, who have their large collection of retired numbers and a couple of numbers that are off limits until they are officially retired. It became even trickier this season with a greater influx of new players and a collection of returning players who decided they wanted to trade up for a better number this season. Does any of this have any bearing on how each player will perform this season? Absolutely not. Is it worth covering on the first day of camp when all guys are doing is putting stuff in their lockers and maybe tossing a ball around? I think so. Especially now that I was smart enough to not guess at the new numbers this year and open myself up to criticism for the lack of AB4AR t-shirts in the world. New number assignments after the jump.
