Yankees report cards: Grading Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, entire roster at break

The Yankees have so much to be excited about heading into the second half, which begins Friday night at Yankee Stadium with a Subway Series against the Mets.

Most importantly, they’ve done a lot of winning under rookie manager Aaron Boone, as their 62-33 record has them 29 games over .500. They’ve topped that just three times in history … in 1939, 1953 and 1998, all World Series championship years.

The biggest keys to the success has been the Yankees’ power – they’re on a pace to set a new MLB single-season record for homers – and their very deep bullpen, which has an MLB low 2.
