The Yankees have a decision to make in left field

Much as they did last season, the Yankees entered 2019 with what seemed to be a surplus of outfielders: Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks, Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman, Clint Frazier, Tyler Wade, and — at least in theory — Jacoby Ellsbury. Yet just like last year, half of those players ended up on the injured list, turning the apparent logjam into a scramble to find healthy bodies. That scramble led the team to pick up journeyman Cameron Maybin, who has been the anti-Shane Robinson thus far, hitting to a 125 wRC+ and playing terrific defense through 12 games in pinstripes.
