Aaron Hicks has all of a sudden become yet another middle-of-the-order bat who can potentially reach up to 30 home runs. No one thought Didi Gregorius had that kind of power, but should he have a relatively injury-free season in the near future, that number is most definitely within reach. And like with Gregorius, Hicks was brought in through one of Cashman’s trade steals. The center fielder came to the Bronx for catcher J.R. Murphy. Where is Murphy now? He is the Diamondbacks backup catcher hitting .207. Plus, he is not even J.R. anymore – he has since expanded it out to John Ryan.
