Good afternoon everyone, it’s time for another edition of the mailbag. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
Bluelaws asks: How big is the downside (defensively) if Andújar plays left instead of Gallo? Would Andújar’s hitting be enough to make up for the defensive downgrade?
The short answer: significant, and no.
The long answer: The Yankees briefly tried giving Miguel Andújar some reps in the outfield after the 2019 season, when Gio Urshela arrived onto the stage and Wally Pipp’d Andújar’s spot on the roster.
