The Yankees will take the field March 3 for the first spring game of their 2015 season.
The team is hoping to rebound from a disappointing 2014 season which saw it finish second in the AL East by a whopping 12 games. To do that, the Yankees will have to deal with a new crop of players, injury concerns and the departure of longtime shortstop and surefire Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, as well as the big dark cloud hanging over Alex Rodriguez.
There is room for optimism with this team though, and so long as they can stay healthy, the Yankees are candidates to surpass their modest PECOTA win projections (projected for an 80-82 record) for the 2015 season.
But, before the first spring game takes place and the media circus sets in, let’s take a look at who will make up the Yankees’ 25-man roster and what we might expect out of that group over the course of 162 games.
So, without further ado, I give you your 2015 New York Yankees.
