RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

There was no outlook written for Justin Christian.

2009

Christian received a pair of callups from the Yankees in June and July, mostly working as a pinch-runner while getting the occasional start in the outfield to provide some speed. He'll turn 29 in April, so there's really not much upside here, even though he would offer some steals if there were ever a more regular opportunity for playing time.
