As spring training approaches its conclusion, several position battles are heating up across MLB, presenting opportunities for savvy fantasy baseball managers. In the AL East, the Boston Red Sox's second base competition sees David Hamilton performing well, potentially edging out Kristian Campbell despite Campbell's prospect status. The corner outfield for Boston looks set with Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela, though Masataka Yoshida’s health could shuffle roles.

With Giancarlo Stanton on the shelf, the Yankees are assessing their DH options, including Ben Rice and Dominic Smith, although they might utilize Trent Grisham's defensive prowess instead. The Blue Jays face a similar dilemma with Anthony Santander, who will juggle DH and left field duties, influencing the playing time of Joey Loperfido and Alan Roden. As for the AL Central, Cleveland’s Jhonkensy Noel and Will Brennan are in a tight race for right field, while Detroit is figuring out who's best suited to fill the gaps left by injuries.

In the AL West, Houston's right field spot is highly contested between rookies Cam Smith and Zach Dezenzo, with Smith's recent performance making headlines. The injury to Yoan Moncada also complicates the Angels' infield dynamics, indicating that this battle will be one to watch. As spring training wraps up, staying alert to these positional changes could lead to key picks in upcoming drafts.
