Previously in this series, I have covered first base, second base, third base, and shortstop. Today, I will start with the outfield.
Starter: Brett Gardner
Brett Gardner is a valuable player because of his ability to both steal bases and get on base. He led the AL in steals in 2011 with 49 and in triples with 10 in 2013. His defensive skills are also quite good, providing the Yankees with a solid presence in left field.
Backup: Alfonso Soriano
Even though Alfonso Soriano will mostly play DH, he will also backup in left field. He experienced a string of good hitting after coming from the Chicago Cubs last season. He hit 34 homeruns last year, and is a good bet to get at least 20 this year. He also provided 18 stolen bases with a .255 average.
Next I will move to center field.
How do you think the Yankees will do this season? Tell me in the comments below.
