Former Arizona star Refsnyder likely on Yanks' roster

Arizona’s 2012 College World Series MVP Robert Refsnyder will learn this week if he makes the New York Yankees’ opening day roster. The second baseman was hitting .313 in 20 spring training games through Saturday. The Yankees moved their other backup second baseman, Jose Pirela, to the outfield last week, which was the best indication Refsnyder will make the roster behind starter Stephen Drew.
