Agree. I think he demonstrated this year that he is no longer a "prospect with huge upside potential." More like a journeyman outfielder. Still, given the injury bug we saw this year, I say we keep him around for reasonable money.

Heh, I said this without knowing that he needed Tommy John surgery and will be out for 8-10 months. Also, I think we both erred in that I see he is already has a long extension. According to Wikipedia, "On January 11, 2019, Hicks signed a one-year, $6 million contract to remain with the Yankees. On February 25, Hicks signed a seven-year, $70 million contract extension, replacing the one-year deal. The deal includes a $12.5 million club option for 2026, a $1 million buyout and a $2 million signing bonus." So, we are stuck with him barring a trade.
