When the Yankees signed DJ LeMahieu to a two-year deal prior to the 2019 season, I complained. At the time, the team was looking at LeMahieu to be their utility infielder and much of their planning hinged on Troy Tulowitzki being good alive healthy. The reason I hated this move was because prior to his tenure in New York, LeMahieu played 94 percent of his games at second base. That doesn’t really scream “utility infielder,” and I was upset that they didn’t sign someone like Marwin Gonzalez instead, who actually had plenty of experience all around the diamond.
