Why Trading for Tulo Is a Mistake

         Many Yankee fans want to see Troy Tulowitzki starting at shortstop Opening Day for 2015. But doing that would be a big mistake and waste of prospects. With how often Tulowitzki is injured it makes no sense to add yet another injury prone player to the infield. It would be perfectly fine to have Didi Gregorious at shortstop considering he is young, has a lot of potential, and is a defensive wiz. But having risking having Tulowitzki at shortstop is just a heart attack waiting to happen, he has averaged only 88 games in the last three seasons. Now is it worth it to have only a little over half a season worth of production, for giving up the best prospects we have like Luis Serevino and Aaron Judge? I don't think it is, even if he is going to give the best numbers in the league for that half season it would be better to be average for a whole season than great for half.
