Just a couple months ago I don’t think anyone could have possibly imagined Luke Voit would have a huge role to play in the Yankees impending postseason run. After the team acquired him and international slot money for Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos it seemed like the Yanks were more interested in bringing back the money than Voit, who was stuck at Triple-A Memphis.
It’s clear now that Voit was much more than just a throw-in to the deal and that all he needed was an opportunity to play every day to prove he’s a legitimate big league hitter.
