So, at times this year, the Yankees will have a different look than we’ve seen for the past decade (or even more in some cases). What does that all mean? Well, their team’s players aren’t likely going to be as valuable top to bottom, as you have to factor in missed games for many of them.
But, let’s take a closer look at things.
