What Do the Yanks do with their OF?

[ericd7633]

What should the Yankees do in their outfield when they arguably have three of the top 5 OF's in the AL and that doesn't include Ellsbury who's scheduled to be back soon, if not today?

It's going to be tough to bench somebody who's performing at an All-Star level. And Holliday has been serviceable enough at the DH spot, that I can't see some type of platoon system either.

Can Holliday play 1B? lol.

I think it just goes back to musical chairs, Girardi will rotate the 3, with Judge the one constant

I kinda like it, Ells and Gardner have worn down the last 2 seasons, stealing them some rest in the event they are in a pennant race could be a good thing

Hicks has taken grounders at first, wouldn't mind if he could play it a little

I don't wanna mess with Holliday
He stays healthy and productive strictly as the DH

I'd say trade Ellsbury, but it would probably take another year of sustained success for him to have any real trade value. I would just stick with Holliday at DH given his injury history and age.

trade ellsbury and his contract for what?

the guys 33, cant run like he used to, is owed a lot of money, and cant seem to stay healthy.

I think Holliday is the DH and that is never changing.

LOL...He's been sick

But the Yanks did give him a good 5 seasons of sucking, cant say they pulled the plug too soon

Perfect example of NL baseball

Fraudkees have 3 of the top 5 outfielders?

this should be good

"Brett Gardner - one of the AL's best"

And I thought Boston was crazy

You disagree

Specifically talking about this year... yep you could argue they in fact do.

I don't see where they need to do anything given how fragile Ellsbury is, they should just stay the course and keep rotating.

Matt Holliday has started 5 games at 1B this season.

Sure, you can argue about almost anything

You would lose this one though

Obviously Judge is performing as a top 5 AL outfielder. If you can name 5 more without mentioning Gardner and Hicks I'm all ears.

One thing you can't argue is that they're currently in first place, and that's all that matters.

That's true. I can't see Ellsbury staying healthy the rest of the season.
