Let’s talk about the infield again! If there was one weakness on a 103-win Yankees team, it was infield defense. By all the metrics we have, Gio Urshela was merely fine; Gleyber Torres wasn’t, especially at second base; Didi Gregorius took a step back; and Luke Voit was a DH. Only DJ LeMahieu had a really standout year defensively, and that’s one of the reasons the Yankees signed him anyway.
As we look toward 2020, it’s fair to question the infield defense again. Torres seems destined to be the Opening Day shortstop, LeMahieu at second, and Voit at first.
