With the signing of Brett Gardner, the New York Yankees have very good outfield depth going into the season. Clint Frazier and Gardy can play left field, Aaron Hicks is the starting center fielder, and Aaron Judge is one of the game’s premier right fielders.
In addition, designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is more than capable of playing the field every once in a while, and Yankees’ skipper Aaron Boone recently indicated that he wants to give the slugger some time out there to keep his legs fresh and prepared.
However, if you hadn’t noticed, there is a noteworthy name missing in that outfield depth chart: Mike Tauchman.
