Gary Sanchez, the Yankees' top catching prospect, brings the most upside and power, but they may opt to give him even more seasoning in Triple-A. If he goes to the minors, Austin Romine or Carlos Corporan will be the backup.

Ronald Torreyes got some time with the Dodgers last season and is the favorite thanks to being on the 40-man roster. Pete Kozma has the most experience, however, from his time with the St. Louis Cardinals which could help him win the gig.

The "Adam Warren role" has become valuable with the ability to pitch short or long. Bryan Mitchell showed some positive signs in 2015 and could give length. Ivan Nova is also a possibility if he isn't the fifth starter or even Diego Moreno.

CC Sabathia is the favorite thanks to his contract. Ivan Nova translates better in the 'pen as a righty and would be the long reliever or even the swing man. Sabathia still must perform in spring to earn the spot or Nova could grab it.

There are three or four 'pen spots open in front of the three-headed-monster. Depth is needed ahead of them, and Branden Pinder, Nick Rumbelow and Chasen Shreve are on top. Jacob Lindgren, Nick Goody and Vinnie Pestano could also sneak in.
