Did the Yankees find their next Gio Urshela in new signing Matt Duffy?

The Yankees made a low-key move over the weekend, signing former Tampa Bay Rays infielder, Matt Duffy. Duffy, who played in 46 games in 2019, logged a .252 batting average with one home run over 147 at-bats.

The defensive player is not a slugger by any means, but he does hit for contact and has a solid OBS (.343 last season). He also draws a respectable number of walks and doesn’t strike out too frequently. The last time he played over 130 games was in 2018 when he hit .294 and played predominantly at third base.
