Examining an Age Old Question About the Yankees’ Offense

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Roster Analysis, Yankees on May 19, 2012 | 1 Comment »

(The following was originally published at SB*Nation’s Pinstripe Alley)   The Yankees’ offense is old. There’s no disputing that. In fact, if the unit’s average current age of 32.5 is maintained, it would rank as the oldest group of hitters in franchise history, just edging out the 2005 team.
