The New York Yankees desperately need a new utility man after letting Tyler Wade and Rougned Odor walk this offseason without much resistance.
General manager Brian Cashman must have a plan in mind to replace both players, who valiantly stepped in and supplemented injuries this past season in both the outfield and infield. Wade featured in 103 games, earning a .268 average with five RBIs and 17 stolen bases, a career-high.
Odor, on the other hand, played in 102 games, posting a .202 average with 15 homers and 39 RBIs. The Yankees actually received decent slugging production out of Odor, but his lack of contact-hitting and near 30% strikeout rate is simply unsustainable in a lineup that features too many big bats.
