Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told the New York Daily News on Wednesday that catching prospect Austin Romine — initially believed to be in the mix for the 2013 starting job — will likely head to Triple-A to begin the season. Cashman pointed to Romine’s back injury, which limited him to 40 total games last year, as a factor in his thinking. “I expect Romine to go to Triple-A,” Cashman said. “I don’t expect him to be our everyday catcher out of the gate. He always has the possibility of taking it, but realistically, if I were in prediction mode, I’d say Triple-A. But he has a chance to alter that.”
