The newly acquired second baseman Starlin Castro is showing plenty of pop in his bat this spring for the New York Yankees.

This past offseason, the Yankees acquired the former all-star Castro in exchange for pitcher Adam Warren and infielder Brendan Ryan.

In just 24 at-bats this spring, he has 10 hits, two home runs and eight RBI’s.

Of course these are just exhibition games, but it is not an easy adjustment shifting from National League to the American League. Therefore, it is good to see Castro getting off to a hot spring.

Since Robinson Cano’s departure after the 2013 season, the Yankees couldn’t find a successor to second base. Castro at just 25 years-old, can potentially serve as the Yankees second baseman for years to come.
