Saturday afternoon’s victory against the White Sox featured a number of talking points worthy of discussion. For example, Miguel Andujar swatted a home run, adding to his Rookie of the Year resume. And the bullpen continued its high-wire act, nearly throwing away the game in the process. Lost in all of this, however, exists a point far more interesting, one with implications that speak to the organization as a whole. Neil Walker started a game in right field, not out of curiosity, but by necessity.
Following the game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone explained that he thought the outing went well.
