Chad Curtis, LF
|
Curtis was acquired from the Indians last season as an
extra outfielder. But when centerfielder Bernie Williams
went down with a knee injury this June, the Yanks looked to
Curtis to fill in. Curtis was so impressive at the plate
that he remained a
semiregular after Williams came off the DL. In addition to
becoming a more patient and productive hitter, Curtis is
aggressive on the basepaths and can cover a lot of ground
in the outfield. If you're lucky, you might get to see him
do one of his patented
bellyflops after firing the ball toward the
plate.
