@@maestromecanico597 it definitely would be a stretch but if we are talking about pipp let’s hope for a Gehrig. I know we are not but wow wouldn’t that be a story
I think you have to keep DJ rolling in case Ben Rice doesn't pan out. Plus, technically, it will be Oswaldo Cabrera as the platoon. He will play when DJ plays first.
A shame cuz Rizzo is a seasoned champ caliber player. The minute rookie Rice gets into a string of misplays and/or shit at bats the NY masses will be all over him. I’m loyal to an extent but I value greatness where it is. I don’t set unrealistic standards for any individual Yankee player.
It is about time for the Yankees to get key pieces from the Minors instead of wasting millions of dollars. We, Yankees fans, want these young guys to have a chance to build themselves in the MLB. Ben Rice is the right step to move forward with. The future is looking bright for the Yankees. Money cannot buy championships. 🤝
@firesideyankees Alex Wilson and Ryan Garcia I wasn’t expecting that but I knew it was going to happen anyway Ben Rice is now the Yankees first baseman that’s good start!Yankees need to rectify the infield situation 2nd base Gleyber Torres has been a problem the errors and 3rd baseman is the problem little production DJ LaMehieu has really regressing and Oswaldo Cabrera has been rendered ineffective! 4:07
It's wild that nobody is willing to give DJ some time to improve. He's played only 15 games and is coming back from injury. Judge sucked for the first 6 weeks of the season and nobody cared. Now I'm not saying judge and dj are the same type of player but give him a little time. Most players need 100 AB before they get in their flow of things
While I don’t disagree..based on the “eye” test he seems way more lumbering than before and his bat speed and ability to hit just about everything is not only diminished this year but last year..he just doesn’t look like the same player..hopefully I’m wrong and your are right.
I don’t even know if I believe the rizzo injury Who knows if this was planned to bring the kid up I mean rizzo breaking his damn arm in that fall? It’s insane
