New York Yankees fans couldn’t possibly stomach watching Jay Bruce continue to log starting reps up until Luke Voit’s eventual return in mid-May.
Bruce, who’s primarily an outfielder and has been playing first base, isn’t exactly a sure-handed defender at his new position, and his bat as been dreadful to start the year.
