In the astronomy of Yankee baseball,
29 players have heard IR’s call –
Star-watchers have seen the holes –
But “next man up” has filled their roles
And has burned as bright,
If not brighter than more-famous light.
But now,
What’s the stellar map-decision
When stars reclaim astral position
(As some grumble “If I had that option…”)
For the run during postseason?
The fact is, the roster’s only 25,
And in postseason, pitchers thrive,
So player space is at a premium
And choosing players will take a medium
Well-versed in ego-physics
And game-by-game analytics.
The question – it begs discussion:
What’s the line-up for postseason?
