Adding, on the Yankees: it appears that Brian Cashman loads up on big, slow power hitters who are mediocre fielders. Year after year. Note this year's Twin Towers Plus, Judge-Stanton-Gallo, along with Sanchez, Torres, and Rizzo. They built themselves an "all short-porch" ballpark a decade ago, and they've stumbled ever since, yet they fit the same sort of teams to their park. Their pitching is never much, but it's not clear if that's the fault of the pitchers or that the pitchers work in a place designed for pop-fly home runs. Aaron Boone, in end-of-year talks, seems to be saying that "teams have passed us", even though the Yankees spend and spend.
Yankee hitters are not necessarily to be coveted.
