Personal fave Eduardo Nunez was mentioned as a sleeper by Kevin Goldstein at ESPN today. “He’ll certainly never displace Jeter or Cano in the middle of the Yankees’ infield,” said KG, “but he could be a valuable utility player as early as this year, as one could argue he’s a better bench option than Ramiro Pena.” I’ll believe it when I see it.
