Coming off a disappointing finish to the 2012 season, there certainly isn’t a lack of discussion points for the New York Yankees at spring training. 

From Curtis Granderson’s broken arm to the undetermined catching position, there are a heap of questions that remain unanswered for Joe Girardi’s club just weeks before the 2013 season begins.

Or will Father Time catch up with Derek Jeter and friends, shifting them towards the bottom-feeders of the American League?

Here are a handful of current talking points that may ultimately decide New York’s fate in 2013.
