Yankees 2016 Free Agent Target: Daniel Murphy

The Yankees have struggled to find a good second baseman since Robinson Cano left. Should they pursue Daniel Murphy?

2015 Statistics: 130 G, .281/.322/.449, 14 HR, 73 RBI, 110 wRC+

2016 Age: 31

Position: Second baseman

Ever since Robinson Cano packed his bags and moved to Seattle, the Yankees have been trying to find a new second baseman. In 2014, they filled the position with Brian Roberts and Stephen Drew, and that went poorly for both players. For some reason, the Yankees brought Drew back again last year and he was the starting second baseman for most of the season, with appearances by Dustin Ackley and Rob Refsnyder as well.
