The New York Yankees have had the fortune of being able to roll out the premiere shortstop in baseball for the better part of the last two decades. At age 39, soon to be 40; Derek Jeter is no longer a guy that the organization can play every single day. In the interest of trying to keep Jeter healthy and fresh as the season lags on into the dog days of summer , the importance of having a steady backup who can relieve the aging icon a few days a week is important. The value of defense and the importance of steady fielding up the middle is at an all-time high as the Yankees have begun to employ the defensive shift more than ever. Enter 32-year old veteran shortstop, Brendan Ryan, who is currently rehabbing a neck injury with the Thunder and is expected to rejoin the big league club shortly.
