Is Jake Bauers different?

Jake Bauers isn't anything we haven't seen before.He's just the latest in a long line of fringe corner outfielders who the Yankees have employed in recent years in an attempt to bridge the shortfall left by Brett Gardner's decline and departure from the Bronx stage, as well as Aaron Hicks' deep struggles since the start of 2021.

Yankees 2022 Roster Report Cards: Andrew Benintendi

One of my favorite Yogi-isms of all time is, "It's déjà vu all over again."Originally coined to refer to Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris's tendency to hit back-to-back dingers in the early 1960s, it's come to be used to refer to problems that just won't seem to let themselves be solved.
