WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Center fielder Aaron Hicks often seems to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the Yankees.
Give the man some respect.
His defense and throwing arm in center field are elite.
Offensively, while the switch-hitter isn't hitting for much of an average, Hicks has a solid .796 OPS because he gets on base a lot.
Also, Hicks has pop from both sides of the plate and hits his share of homers.
If the Yankees didn't have so many established and young stars in their best-in-baseball, slugger-filled lineup, Hicks probably would get more pub for what he brings.
