New York Yankees: Don’t worry about injuries, the B team is better?

Error 0:

Everyone in baseball knows that the New York Yankees have tremendous depth. Last year the Yankees had an unprecedented number of injuries; 38 to be exact, to 30 different players. So what did the Yankees do? They relied on the B team, players from the farm system and second-string players. The result was 103 wins, second in all of baseball while suffering constant injuries to the everyday players. If you recalled many times last year we were saying; we don’t need those injured coming back, these guys are doing great.

When measuring player performance, most look at a player’s batting average, which is deceiving, to see the measure of actual achievement, you need to look at OPS.
