Yankees 2016 Potential Free Agent Target: Ben Zobrist

It's somewhat difficult to believe that two-time All-Star Ben Zobrist has been in the major leagues for a decade now. Sure, he turned 34 last May, but his rise to prominence directly coincided with the Tampa Bay Rays' turnaround from cellar-dwellers to annual contenders in 2008. He wasn't even originally signed by Tampa--the Astros drafted him in the sixth round of the 2004 Draft and flipped him to Tampa shortly before the 2006 trade deadline in a deal for Aubrey Huff.
