In any case, the Yankees don't need a superstar. They need a high contact, high average and OBP hitter at the top of the lineup who plays gold glove caber defense.
If only that type of player was available, and could be trusted to handle the bright lights of NYC! Oh, wait...Quote:

You clearly have a boner for HR and that is your ludicrous stat to qualify a great hitter. You know that makes Stanton, Gary and judge all first rate superstars Gary just had a bad year and defense doesn’t matter
I gave you a significant list of guys who did not hit tons and who were top 20 hitters of all time You choose to ignore realism and logic.
No one is shocked by that
In 1987, Molitor hit safely in 39 straight games, the seventh-longest streak of all time. Injuries limited him to 118 games that season, but he still led the AL in runs scored (114) and doubles (41) while hitting .353.
A seven-time All-Star, Molitor retired following the 1998 campaign, when he stole his 500th career base to become only the fifth player with at least 3,000 hits and 500 stolen bases. He finished his career with a .306 batting average, 3,319 hits, 605 doubles, 1,782 runs scored and 504 steals. Molitor was a first-ballot Hall of Fame selection.
DJ won another silver slugger award.
