The former Texas Ranger was inconsistent last season and looked uncomfortable in the infield.With two of MLB's top prospects on the roster, many fans expected Boone to give Oswald Peraza or Anthony Volpe a chance. Both players have been knocking on the door. Both rank in the top 100 MLB prospects, with Volpe coming in at no. 5.The offseason was filled with speculation that Peraza would start at shortstop. The 22-year-old Venezuelan impressed during the final stages of the 2022 season. Over an 18-game stretch, he finished with an impressive .306/.404/.429 slash line and a .833 OPS. Peraza also made his debut in the postseason against the Houston Astros.New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone opted for youth with his first lineup card of the seasonManager Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees walks off the mound during a pitching change against the Baltimore OriolesAaron Boone did give some of the organization's prospects an opportunity. Highly touted Dominican outfielder Jasson Dominguez is ranked as the no. 47 prospects in the league. Dominguez started the game over outfielder Everson Pereira.The 23-year-old switch-hitter catcher Anthony Seigler is another exciting prospect. The club has high hopes for him down the line.Mario Gomez🚂😁🌧️@marioagomez_1@BryanHoch Weber pitching now16@BryanHoch Weber pitching now🔥graham@gramnorth@BryanHoch Actually suprised Dominguez is starting over Pereira@BryanHoch Actually suprised Dominguez is starting over PereiraBoone decided to opt for experience on the mound with veteran pitcher Ryan Weber getting the start. The 32-year-old previously played for the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers.It is early in the season, but the New York Yankees will be looking to find a winning formula. The club has failed to reach the World Series since defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009. The pressure will be on Boone to deliver a championship to the Bronx.
