It almost seems like the story of Greg Bird on the Yankees is a novel that will not come to an end. The journey has been an irrefutable tragedy thus far. I imagine some fans, along with myself, are rooting for his emergence as the offensive force baseball analysts and former players once believed he was destined to become.
Before Yankee fans viewed in awe, the sudden offensive output from Baby Bombers, Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez in 2015, they first were introduced to the sweet left-handed stroke, by a then 22-year-old Greg Bird.
His disappointing statistics since then provoked general manager Brian Cashman to acquire Luke Voit from the Cardinals late last season.
