5 years agoNew York Yankees manager Aaron Boone shut down suggestions of outfielder Aaron Judge (ribs) moving to first base. Judge has played in only 214 games over the past two seasons and entered spring training with a stress fracture in his rib this year, so a switch to first base may be a way to keep the power-hitting outfielder in the lineup. Even with Judge’s injury history, Boone has little incentive to move Judge though, as the 27-year-old is a top-15 defensive outfielder by outs above average. Since Judge’s excellent defense is likely the primary driver behind Boone’s response to a potential position change, the fantasy implication of this is that fantasy owners should not expect Judge to gain eligibility at first base in 2020.--Sam Chinitz
