Hello, everyone, happy Friday! We have a short mailbag for you all this week, just three quick questions. I’m saving a bunch for the third annual Christmas Day mailbag. So keep submitting your questions to our weekly call or by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Chuck asks: The lack of left-handed bats is a significant concern. Are there any moves they can make? Are there examples of other winning teams that had no or minimal lefties in the lineup?
I think “significant concern” overplays the situation a bit. If the Yankees have a fully healthy lineup, they probably don’t need to worry about the lack of left-handed hitters.
