For in-between Yankees, Matt Holliday better fit than Edwin Encarnacion

Matt Holliday makes perfect sense for the New York Yankees. He is an in-between free-agent acquisition for an in-between team.

Will he be good in 2017? Who knows? Will the Yankees be good in 2017? No one knows that, either. But if Holliday is solid, it could be a big lift for this bridge year as the Yankees try to reload and rebuild toward 2019, which is when the Yankees' next "uber" (trademark, Brian Cashman) team might be ready to add Bryce Harper and/or Manny Machado and others.
