The Yankees have a Miguel Andujar conundrum

Remember Miguel Andujar? The Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2018 missed almost the entire year due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and that somehow gets lost among the fantastic season the Yankees had in 2019.

He only played 12 games of (bad) baseball: he batted .128/.143/.128 over 49 plate appearances, with negative ratings with the bat (-9.1) the glove (-3.2) and on the basepaths (-0.6). He accumulated a -1.0 WAR.

Andujar, however, has many things working in his favor. He has youth on his side, being only 24 years old, and he has a natural hitting ability that measures up with almost any third baseman in the American League.
