Former Yankees No. 1 prospect quickly running out of time to make roster

The Yankees have several difficult decisions to make this off-season, especially with spring training less than two weeks away. Figuring out who will start at the shortstop position, ironing out some back-end bullpen options, and the coveted left-field job are all in question, but one former top prospect is desperately trying to stick with the team after years of inconsistent play.

If you haven’t figured out who that player might be just yet, it is none other than Estavan Florial, the Yankees’ former No. 1 prospect who has fallen from grace due to a number of injuries and an elevated strikeout rate at the minor-league level.
