For the New York Yankees, a shortened season of just 60 games will have several consequences, both good and bad. The bad is that they won’t be able to have any long stretches of poor play if they are to get to the postseason. The Yankees are still World Series favorites, but each game during the season will take on more importance. The greatest impact on players will be those that will sit on the bench with the expanded 30 man roster.
The bench will most likely include Mike Ford, Clint Frazier, Mike Tauchman, catcher Kyle Higashioka, and the “utility” players, Miguel Andujar, and Tyler Wade.
