Second base was a problem position for the Yankees this past season. They struggled to find production early from Stephen Drew and Brendan Ryan, seemingly waited too long to jettison Drew in favor of better options, and didn’t get much consistent positive value from the position until very late in the year when Dustin Ackley and Rob Refsnyder got hot and took over as the new platoon. According to Jon Heyman’s latest report, that late season SSS boost may have influenced the Yankees’ plans for next season.
