The New York Yankees prepare for the 2017 season, worries about Aaron Judge’s transfer to center field due to the addition of All-Star outfielder Juan Soto.

Among those voicing apprehension is Yankees legend Bernie Williams, who emphasized the demanding nature of the center field position compared to right field.

Former Yankees hitting coach Sean Casey, play-by-play announcer Michael Kay, and retired Gold Glove center fielder Lorenzo Cain have echoed similar concerns about Judge’s suitability for the role. 

Despite the skepticism, Judge appears poised to take on the challenge, jokingly attributing the switch to his tendency to sustain injuries while playing in right field.

Judge’s injury history, particularly a torn ligament in his right toe sustained last June, raises legitimate concerns about his durability in a more demanding position like center field. He acknowledges that the injury will require ongoing maintenance throughout his career, underscoring the physical toll of playing in the outfield.

Bernie Williams, who himself patrolled center field for the Yankees with distinction, emphasized the differences between the two positions, noting the increased demands of territory coverage and defensive responsibilities in center. These intricacies highlight the challenges Judge may face as he adapts to his new role.

However, despite the existence of these concerns, the New York Yankees maintain a sense of optimism regarding their outlook for the upcoming season.

Currently listed as fourth among betting favorites to win the World Series by DraftKings Sportsbook, the team’s success may hinge on Judge’s ability to stay healthy and perform effectively in center field.

However, the specter of another injury sidelining Judge looms large, casting doubt on the team’s championship aspirations. With the season approaching, all eyes will be on Aaron Judge as he embarks on this new chapter of his career, hoping to silence doubters and help lead the Yankees to glory.
