Who is going to start in RF for the Yankees?

"Forget five pitchers fighting for two rotation jobs."

No problem. I have forgotten the names of the five pitchers fighting for two rotation jobs. That was easy.


"The right-field competition between Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks has turned into the hottest battle in Yankees camp that may not be decided much before the April 2 opener."

 Exciting.


"Should Hicks, 27, win the job, Judge, 25 next month, isn’t going to stick around as a bench player. That would open a fourth outfielder spot. Even as good as Dustin Fowler has looked in spring training, it’s highly unlikely the 22-year-old who never has played above Double-A would be the choice. Ditto Clint Frazier, who played 30 games at Triple-A last year. Mason Williams, who hasn’t appeared in a spring game because of a strained left patella, could fill the role if he gets healthy enough. He was limited to 43 minor league games and 12 major league tilts last year because of shoulder surgery."

Judge will get his chance soon enough.
