TAMPA — Oswaldo Cabrera might be the Yankees' primary backup shortstop. He might be the primary backup at first base — and third base — if DJ LeMahieu's foot injury leaks into the season. He can play second if need be. He surely will find time at some point in the outfield, where he primarily played last season. Yankees shortstop Oswaldo Cabrera throws to first base during a fourth inning double play in a spring training. AP The Yankees sure seem to need Cabrera's glove, which makes signs of his bat coming to life all the more encouraging for the team. Cabrera, who did not hit well last season and has not hit well for much of the Grapefruit League season, smacked his first home run and double

Right now, the competition is steep with Jose Trevino trying to cement a spot on the Opening Day roster with Austin Wells and Ben Rortvedt lurking.
