Perhaps it will be much ado about nothing.<\/p>\n

Or maybe it will be somewhere in between Trent Grisham taking ground balls at first base semi-regularly over the past two seasons and Oswaldo Cabrera actually playing first base on occasion after making himself an option there.<\/p>\n

But when the Yankees re-signed Amed Rosario earlier this month<\/a>, Aaron Boone asked the right-handed-hitting utilityman if he had his first-base glove ready. Rosario has played a total of 7,718 innings in the field throughout his big league career across seven different positions \u2014 every one except catcher and first base.<\/p>\n
