As a Sox fan, I spent a good deal of time asking myself "Who the fuck is this guy" (see Mookie Betts, Brock Holt, Christian Vazquez, Jackie Bradley Jr., and most of their pitching staff). If I were a yankees fan, I'd know the players a little better, since you're not fielding a team of rookies, but I suppose I'd spend more time asking "When is this guys contract finally up?" (See Teixeira, Beltran, Ichiro, McCann, Soriano, Headley, Sabathia, and Phelps, not even mentioning A-Rod who didn't play all this season)
