Yankees free agency should be about the little guys

We’re not going to talk too much about Jake Bauers, or Franchy Cordero, or Willie Calhoun, or Billy McKinney. We’ve talked about them plenty this year in a game-coverage capacity, and now that that’s not really a thing anymore, I think we can put the kibosh on it moving forward (aside from a Roster Report Card here and there).

I’m sure that most fans would agree that Yankees should probably do the same. It’s nothing against them personally, of course. There are a lot of things that sank this Yankees season, but if you have to point the finger at one singular thing, it’s hard for me to turn my eyes away from the 1,025 plate appearances taken this season by Bauers, Cordero, Calhoun, McKinney, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Aaron Hicks.
