The Yankees have many different faces in their lineup this season. These include Brian McCann, Brian Roberts, Jacoby Ellsbury, Kelly Johnson, Carlos Beltran and Yangervis Solarte. The team was very active during the winter meetings and offseason to rebuild what once was a championship caliber team. Also, it would be a great finish to the captain’s last season in pinstripes.
The majority of you know who these knew acquisitions are except for one unfamiliar name, Yangervis Solarte. You should start getting used to this name because he has been playing great for the Yankees. Here are 5 things you did not know about the second baseman:
1. He is from Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela
2. He signed with the Twins in 2006
3. He is 26 years old
4. He won a spot on the opening day roster after hitting .429 in spring training, a pair of home runs and 9 RBIs
5. He is a switch hitter but throws with right arm.
