TAMPA — To those Yankees fans who complain that they want to see Rob Refsnyder play right now?

No worries. Just head to Scranton.

A relatively tranquil Yankees camp generated some buzz Thursday thanks to reserve middle infielder Brendan Ryan going down with a right calf injury. Since both starting shortstop Didi Gregorius and starting second baseman Stephen Drew a) hit lefty and b) can handle shortstop, why not replace Ryan with the 24-year-old, righty-hitting second baseman Refsnyder, the Yankees’ fifth-round selection in the 2012 amateur draft?

The answer is because, at the moment, the cons outweigh the pros for such a move.

“He’s close. He’s exciting. He’s got great makeup. The bat’s ready. We could use him and he could help us,” general manager Brian Cashman said of Refsnyder, before the Yankees defeated the Pirates, 6-2, at George M. Steinbrenner Field. “But is he a finished product? The answer is no.

“Anybody who’s watched these games down here could see that there’s some growth, still. That will happen, and he would benefit. That doesn’t mean he’s not ready. But would he benefit from more time? The answer we feel right now, is yes.

“If [Gregorio] Petit wasn’t available the way he was, then we’d go with [Refsnyder]. But [Petit] is low-cost. It’s real important to finish [Refsnyder] off.”

“Any of us would be lying to say we wouldn’t want to be at the big leagues,” said Refsnyder, whom the Yankees reassigned to minor league camp after acquiring Petit in a trade with Houston. “I have a great opportunity playing every day in the Yankees’ organization at different levels. I’m in a great situation.”

Refsnyder started at second base Thursday and went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. In his first full Grapefruit League, he has a terrific .357/.460/.548 slash line over 24 games. He also has committed six errors — hence the talk of “finishing off” the original outfielder who converted to second base in 2013.

“I think for him, it’s a guy that’s made a position change, really,” manager Joe Girardi said. “It’s more beneficial for him to play every day. I think that’s how we envision him.”

The South Korea native has played 230 professional games at second base and, in his estimation, “two” games at second base, ever, before the Yankees popped him from the University of Arizona. That’s a total of approximately 232 games at the keystone.

“I think they did the math,” Refsnyder said, referring to Yankees officials. “The average major leaguer plays 300-plus games in the minor leagues, plus they’ve played the infield their whole life.”

If the Yankees had gone with Refsnyder and the now-injured Jose Pirela at second base, as was their winter plan for a couple of days or so, then you probably would be feeling a combination of excitement and anxiety over Refsnyder’s immediate future. He sure looks like he is ready offensively, as he owns a career minor league slash line of .297/.389./.444. And he sure looks like there’s more work to be done with the glove.

“I really didn’t feel great offensively all spring,” Refsnyder said. “Defensively, I was trying to get into a rhythm. It was a good experience. I learned a lot. I definitely grew.”

Instead, the Yankees spent $5 million to secure Drew, whose hitting the past couple of weeks has allayed fears his gruesome 2014 (.162/.237/.299) portended a trend rather than an aberration. After contributing a pair of singles in three at-bats Thursday, Drew’s spring-training slash line is up to .260/.315/.440.

“Last year was hard to explain to you guys. I could sit here and go two hours with you,” Drew told reporters. Getting a full spring training, he said, has made a huge difference after he didn’t resolve his free agency until last May.

If Drew turns back into a pumpkin, or if there’s an injury somewhere, then by all means call up Refsnyder and let him fly like a peacock, just like Mark Wahlberg in “The Other Guys.” For now, though, give the young man his reps at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

“He just has to get games under his belt,” Cashman said. “How do you drop a guy in at second base, in New York?”

You don’t, unless you’re desperate. Though the Yankees might encounter desperation sooner than later in this 2015 season, they aren’t there yet.
