I am not all in on Andujar, obviously.  That said, the Yanks have two needs in the line-up, a left-handed hitter to help protect a right-heavy batting order (Murphy fits well here) and hitters to get on base at the top of the order (Andujar and Torres fit well here) so that they when the big hitters are at bat, multiple runs can be generated versus a string of solo HR's.  The Yanks offensively were too reliant on the HR in 2018 to generate runs.

How about this batting order for 2019 based assuming no other major trades besides acquiring Murphy in Free Agency.

1) Torres SS (R) .271
2) Murphy 2B (L) .299
3) Judge RF (R) .278
4) Stanton Dan Hurley (R) .266
5) Sanchez C (R) .186
6) Hicks CF (S) .248
7) Voit 1B (R) .322
8) Andujar 3B (R) .297
9) Fraser LF (R) .265

Now, let's say there is a major overhaul of the line-up with Manchado signed, Andujar and Sanchez traded. Its highly unlilkely; but, ist fun and could yeild interesting results.

1) Torres SS (R) .271
2) Murphy 2B (L) .299
3) Machado 3B (R) .297
4) Judge RF (R) .278
5) Stanton Dan Hurley (R) .266
6) Rizzo 1B (L) .283
7) Realmuto C (R) .277
8) Hicks CF (S) .248
9) Fraser LF (R) .265
