Why the Yankees' outfield logjam isn't all bad

When I look at the Yankees' roster for 2018, the first thought that comes to mind is “HOT DANG, GIANCARLO STANTON IS A YANKEE.” The second thought is “man, that's a lot of outfielders for one available spot.” With Stanton and Aaron Judge (a.k.a Thunderous Beef-Men #1 and #2) manning the corners, center field is the only open position for the four remaining candidates, namely Aaron Hicks, Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Clint Frazier. I'll take “What is a logjam?” for $500, Alex.

Of course, it's not a given that the Yankees will roll into camp next spring with six outfielders on the 25-man.
