Andujar with a HR in first game back

Yea his bat looked quick. Good sign.

Is the plan for him to DH and start Urshela at 3B?

I'd think so. He's not a good defensive 3B

Yeah him, Torres and DJ as a defensive infield would be shaky IMO

DJ is pretty good defensively. The others, not so much

DJ is a Gold Glove 2B
Torres is actually better (average) at SS

Andujar is horrid

 

[85SugarVol]

Play Tauchman in LF and let Stanton DH?

Better defensive alignments for sure.
Leaves Andujar without a daily spot.

Thoughts?

The best Yankees’ lineup includes Mike Tauchman in left field

I did see the numbers in Torres regarding being better at SS. Really interesting stuff. It’s possible, like to see how he does with a full season under his belt.

SS is his natural position. I think he can be league average or maybe slightly above, put up 0-2 DRS. I’d be pretty happy with that.

Jeter was a “Gold Glove” SS...

DJ is better at 2B than Jeter ever was at SS

Oh I know, just pointing out Gold Glove doesn't mean one is a good defender necessarily lol

 

[YankeeVol]

Well f***

 

[YankeeVol]

How much will the Yankees miss Luis Severino? Not as much as you think

 

[85SugarVol]

Severino has been worthless the past couple years now

Domingo German better be prepared to re-enter the fold in great shape and ready to contribute as soon as he’s eligible.

Could really use his 2019 first half performance in the second half of 2020 this year.

Would go a long way in making up for Severino’s absence.

Boone: Judge's timetable coming into focus

 

[85SugarVol]

Great News here on Montgomery. Him operating at 94 mph will make his curveball and changeup play that much better.

“Furthermore, Montgomery is returning from his own Tommy John surgery and has not pitched a full season since 2017. He hit 94 mph in Monday's spring debut, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, which is good news.”

Notes: Monty's heater; Judge, 'Martian' updates

Oh and btw - in that same article an analyst says that Jasson Dominguez could easily rate 65’s across the board on his tools.

Guess the hope is Happ gets back to his 2018 form. Would it be....

Cole
Tanaka
Happ
Loaisiga
Bettis/Montgomery/García
