The five previous parts in this series were first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and left field. Today I will continue to move across the outfield.
Starter: Jacoby Ellsbury
Recently acquired from the Boston Red Sox, Jacoby Ellsbury was one of the biggest transactions of last offseason. He has had some injuries throughout his career, limiting him to 74 games in 2012. His best year came in 2011, with a .321 batting average, 32 homeruns, and 39 steals. None of his other seasons have been close to that, but at least he has shown promise.
Backup: Brett Gardner
As mentioned in a previous post, Brett Gardner brings good speed and fielding to the Yankees' outfield. He has also had good OBP numbers in the past.
I will finish the outfield next time with right field.
