According to Joe Girardi, while he misses the pieces that left the Yankees this offseason, he still likes the team he is taking to Spring Training in a few weeks. He seems to be reacting well to the Winn signing, almost better than most Yankees fans. I kid, I really do. Here’s an excerpt from what he said:
Girardi is enthusiastic about the team he is bringing to camp. He views the outfield mix of Granderson, Brett Gardner, Nick Swisher and Randy Winn as a versatile group, one that could create some competition in the spring — especially between Gardner and Winn.
“The thing is, everyone’s going to play,” Girardi said. “That’s the bottom line. I believe that sometimes guys need days off. We had the situation last year where everybody thought we had too many outfielders and [Xavier] Nady got hurt [in April]. I don’t think we can have too much depth. Having four guys gives us good depth, and that’s important, because you never know what’s going to happen.”
