Without sports, Twitter has been filled with hypothetical questions. People want to rank everything from animals to athletes to fast food restaurants. With that in mind, I pose the question: which member of the Core 5 would you add to this Yankees roster

Parameters: First, I’m sick of Bernie Williams being omitted from the Core 4, so I’m changing the name to the Core 5 and adding him. The situation is that the Yankees have won the 2020 A.L. East division title and are heading to the playoffs. You can choose to add any of the following players in their prime to the roster:

  • Derek Jeter
  • Mariano Rivera
  • Andy Petitte
  • Bernie Williams
  • Jorge Posada

The case for Posada

There really is no case here. If anything, replacing Gary Sanchez with Jorge would be a downgrade, not an upgrade.
