The most exciting part about this Yankees season has arguably been the replacement Yankees and how they have admirably filled in for injured star after injured star. It seems like every day we’re out here spreading the gospel of Gio Urshela the Happiest Fella or the Sockman or #KillaCam. And with good reason – they’ve all been killing it and the Yankees wouldn’t be the best team in baseball without them.
Unfortunately, whenever a bunch of fill-ins do well, we inevitably wonder about the luck factor. Are guys getting lucky, or have they made sustainable changes that have helped them?
