76, I'm mostly aligned with the tiers you posted above on the OF competition. Regarding contract status though, Almonte is out of options and I believe Perez has one option left. I read somewhere (can't find link now) that the Yankees asked for and received a 4th option year on Perez. For guys who's minor league service time includes a certain number or years in short-season leagues, they are eligible for a 4th option year. Given all of this, EY Jr may have a leg up on Cunningham and Perez for a 5th OF spot if he can prove his ability to play CF.
