Every year, without fail, there will be some players on the roster that you have completely forgotten about. You might even forget some that played a decent chunk of games. It was only in 2017 that Garrett Cooper played for the Yankees. That is a completely different person than Garrett Jones, who was on the team in 2015.
In the past 10 years, players like Donovan Solano, Scott Sizemore, Thomas Neal, Darnell McDonald, Chris Dickerson, and Greg Golson make up just a sampling of the position players who have had short stints with the team.
