With questions surrounding Aaron Hicks’ Tommy John surgery and who will be his replacement, Giancarlo Stanton finds himself even more critical to retaining a healthy status. There is no doubt that Stanton will never play center field, but he must be able to play left field and possibly even right field every now and then for the Yankees.
Stanton will see himself mainly as the DH for the Yanks in 2020, but he must be prepared for whatever comes his way.
The Yankees already have several names that can man the outfield next season with Aaron Judge, Mike Tauchman and Clint Frazier, who are either under contract or will be entering arbitration.
