In the third installment of our exploration of current market value, we turn to Mr. Paul O’Neill. At this point in his life, O’Neill walks a tightrope between providing analysis on the hitting side and playing the role of YES class clown. In a lot of ways, he fills the Keith Hernandez role better than Keith does – or at least, is less cringeworthy while doing so.
Before we get started here, I’d like to remind everyone this is a hypothetical thought exercise. I am not actually advocating for the Yankees to sign current 55-year old Paul O’Neill to play baseball.
