He has had an impact the way that O'Neil did. Obviously different players, but such a pro. No complaining, plays whatever position he is told to play and plays it well. And I had no idea just how good of a hitter he was. Reading about him in fantasy baseball is quite different than watching him play.
the Andujar injury was the best thing that could've happened to the team.
If they keep on swinging for homers instead of basehits, then they will never win.
I would not say the best thing. Andujar is a player and a good one. I will say that what DJL has one is forced his way into the conversation as far as the future of both Andujar and Voit is concerned. If he has another solid year next year, he will force the Yankees hand as far as an extension goes. That means that one of Andujar or Voit will be on the way out. Or both and Frazier can play a lot and Stanton can DH a good amount of games.
Hicks may need Tommy John and is a walking injury waiting to happen. Signing him long term was dumb. He can't stay on the field.
Absolutely not. His contract is a bargain. At the time, he was off of 3.9 WAR in 88 games and 4.7 WAR in 137 games seasons. He was performing as pretty much a top 5 player in his position.
Doesn't matter if he can't stay on the field. Since he's been a Yankee he's had two oblique injuries, a back injury and now an elbow injury. Those are just off the top of my head. He's missed significant time with each of them.
We need to win one of those four games. We should win games 4 and 5 at the stadium with those guys not being on the mound.
Believe what you want, but not good enough to be a Yankee? Absolutely asinine. Take a look at his numbers from a historical prospective. Now tell me how many infielders have had the same impact. Want to trade him? Fine. But not good enough to be a a Yankee? I invite you to take a look at history.
he is not good enough for our roster anymore. He is the worst defender in baseball by far.
