Things just haven’t gone Miguel Andujar’s way this year. He was set to take on a bigger role in the Yankee offense after finishing second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting, and he devoted the offseason to working on his highly criticized defense in preparation for a full season at the hot corner. Unfortunately, a labrum tear in his shoulder just three games into the season quickly sapped his chances at a repeat performance.
