Should the Yankees consider giving Estevan Florial another chance?

We have seen this movie before. Every time that Estevan Florial gets hot in Triple-A, a number of fans advocate for his call-up and for him to get an extended chance. When he gets to the majors, he almost always struggles, as his .579 OPS in The Show indicates.

However, it’s hard to call a grand total of 63 plate appearances across four seasons an “extended chance.” You can say what you will about how Florial has looked overmatched and how he can’t make contact. But the fact remains that Florial hasn’t really gotten a fair opportunity to struggle, work through his slump, and then resurface at the MLB level.
