All of a sudden, the final six weeks of this lost season feel more important for the Yankees as top prospects look to prove themselves with consistent playing time.
It’s a sudden wave of excitement for a fan base that’s been watching a lifeless product for much of this summer. The kids can learn on the fly, gather invaluable experience and possibly provide a spark — like Aaron Judge and Gary Sánchez did when they were called up in August of 2016. That team also missed the playoffs, but the injection of some young talent down the stretch allowed the Yankees to finish strong, an early indication of what was to come in 2017.
Here are four more veterans that will be affected by the presence of Pereira and Peraza, as well as manager Aaron Boone. LeMahieu has been better on offense in the second half, so he’ll slide over to first base, helping to fill in for Anthony Rizzo. Expect Jake Bauers to get some starts over there as well, although Bauers has descended intoLooking ahead to next year, either LeMahieu starts at third base or is demoted to a utility role, filling in at first, second and third.
