For a team with as many great offensive weapons as the 2018 Yankees, it sure has been difficult at times to watch the lineups that Aaron Boone had to put out day after day. There were key stretches in August where Triple-A fill-ins Shane Robinson and Kyle Higashioka were getting regular lineup time and career infielder Neil Walker was a regular starter in right field. Not surprisingly, August may have been the Yankees’ worst month of the season.
While it should be noted that it is exceedingly uncommon for a team to field a fully healthy lineup at any given time, the Yankees almost never had that ability this year.
