Luke Voit is the starting first baseman for the New York Yankees.
Period. End of discussion. Make no bones about it. Final answer, Regis. The man isn’t going anywhere.
Mike Ford, meanwhile, is a different story. He has his merits as a hitter, but won’t ever be much more than depth in the Yankees organization. He also turns 29 in July, so he’d ideally be on a team where he can get more consistent at-bats and make the most of his prime years.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t to say the Yankees should trade Ford at their first opportunity.
