Yankees: This is how Aaron Boone would present his renewed lineup on Opening Day 2022

The manager of the yankees, Aaron Booneit will not be easy for you to assemble your headline lineup for the start of the 2022 season. After the signing of Anthony Rizzo and the additions of Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Ben Rortvedt via trade with the Twins, for Gary Sánchez and Gio Urshela, it will cause severe alignment changes new yorker

The arrival of the new reinforcements to the Mulos will cause interesting disputes for the ownership of various positions on the field of play. Luke Voit will surely fight Rizzo for the first mat, while Gleyber Torres seems to be no longer an undisputed in the infield especially since Falefa is shaping up to take over the short stop, while LeMahieu would become the wild card in the field.

This is how the Yankees would take the field, at least at the start of the 2022 MLB campaign:

1. DJ LeMahieu
2. Aaron Judge
3. Anthony Rizzo/Luke Voit
4. Giancarlo Stanton
5. Josh Donaldson
6. Aaron Hicks
7. Isiah Kiner- Falefa
8. Glayber Torres / Joey Gallo
9. Kyle Higashioka / Ben Rortvedt

Cane mention that after the saturation of players, Boone could alternate them as follows: Voit and Torres start when the opposing starting pitcher throws left-handed, while Rizzo and Gallo would appear when the pitcher is right-handed.

In the case of DJ LeMahieu, the advantage he would have over the rest of his fellow infielders is that he can play every position and with great skill. Although it is outlined more to replace Donaldson in case of injury, or to cover either Falefa or Torres in case of low level of play or due to the manager’s strategy.
