Yankees don't miss Gary Sanchez.

We continue to hear it. The Yankees miss Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. Both are out with injuries. The Yankees definitely miss Aaron Judge but not Gary Sanchez. In fact, it's not even close between Gary Sanchez and his replacement Austin Romine. This is strictly based on 2018 performance.

Sanchez has 279 plate appearances (PA), Romine 196. So lazy analysis based on home runs and RBI should be tempered. Data from baseball-reference.com
