Here are several positions that will be hotly contested in Florida and Arizona this spring. Please note that I omitted closer competitions, as those battles could fill an entire article on their own.

Position Players
Baltimore Orioles RF: Dylan Beavers vs. Tyler O’Neill
Although Beavers wasn’t dominant in a late-season trial with the Orioles, he did just enough (.775 OPS) to be considered for an Opening Day lineup spot. The 24-year-old has a respectable mix of power and speed, and his premium plate patience is his main calling card. Meanwhile, O’Neill, one of baseball’s most inconsistent and injury-prone players, is coming off a disappointing season in which he logged three injured list stints and hit .199 in 54 games. But O’Neill still has two seasons remaining on a significant contract and is just one year removed from producing 31 homers and an .847 OPS in his lone season with the Red Sox.
