NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: A contingent of Yankees fans disappointed in Aaron Hicks’ performance in the outfield so far this season have been clamoring to give Yankees prospect Estevian Florial a go at playing center field. Scouts familiar with Florial’s play contend he is not ready for the big leagues just yet and needs to develop his ability to put the ball in play before seeing regular time in the majors. The Yankees organization has high hopes for Florial, who was once considered a premier prospect, though his progress through the minors has been stalled due to injuries and the pandemic.
