Who are the Yankees’ most likely fish out of water?

In the closing innings of the 14-inning showdown with the Los Angeles Angels Monday night, Peter Bourjos entered the game as designated hitter before playing second base due to an injury to Zack Cozart. This was significant not only because the Angels lost their DH for the evening, resulting in the game ending with a pitcher striking out a pitcher who was pinch-hitting for another pitcher, but because Peter Bourjos is a center fielder. He’d never played second base in his professional career before that day — although you wouldn’t know it from his performance in the field.
