Yankees outfield combined for a 1.1 WAR in 2023 - Worst in the MLB ... THey are projected to be #1 in 2024 with a 14 WAR projection Cortes, Rodón and Trevino – combined for 1.6 WAR in 2023. In 2022, they were worth 11 WAR. In 2024, they’re projected for 7.1 WAR.

The Yankees are a poorly constructed team right now. The only positions where they're above average defensively are first base and catcher (when Trevino catches). Judge will have the best CF arm in the game but overall he'll be average outside of RF. DJL is slated for his worst defensive position and Gleyber, Verdugo, and Soto are all well below average defensively. This team may give up the most unearned runs in the league.
Then there's the rotation. The only three you can count on in reality are Cole, Stroman and Schmidt. You should certainly hope that Rodon is at least a MLB quality pitcher based on his history, but you never know. Nestor may bounce back or he may be the bust of the year.

After his gold glove year, don't you think Volpe is better than average?

You conveniently forgot our GG Rookie SS ... Yankees Defense overall is Avg (which is fine) to slightly above average

His fielding pct. At third is better than league average and his range factor is about league average. While his Rtot was -1 there last year in 2022 it was 20, so I don’t think he’s exactly below average. Yes, it may his worst position, but he’s one hell of a glove man…

After his gold glove year, don't you think Volpe is better than average? Do you think ikf is average defensively after he won the gold glove at third ?

But they could score 1000 runs. No lead is going to be safe...regardless of which team has it. The 3 + hour game will be back in New York in 2024.

IKF lives somewhere else now… So ? It doesn't make my question any less relevant Okay. I think Gold Gloves to be mostly irrelevant because they don’t always go to the best fielder. I think IKF is a good to very good 3B, but his bat doesn’t play well for that position. He’s a below average SS, probably can become an average LF (but again, the bat), should seldom see CF (emergencies only). If I could see him locking down a full time position it might be as a 2B where the bat can play for many teams. His arm gets wasted a bit there, but that’s how it goes. Other than that, he’s a lifetime utility player for me…Question answered? I hope so. Tgat’s all I’ve got in the subject…

The metrics showed before he hit the majors that he was better suited for 2b .

You conveniently forgot our GG Rookie SS ... Yankees Defense overall is Avg (which is fine) to slightly above average I don't think Volpe deserved the GG. He honestly didn't wow anyone at shortstop. I'd call him average to slightly above. However, calling the defense overall "average to slightly above" is just laughable. Soto and Verdugo are both below average defenders and Judge is average in CF. DJL is below average at 3rd, Gleyber is below average at 2B, and Wells is below average behind the plate (assuming he gets 25-30% of the time back there).
