    SoSH Challenge: Predict the New Yankee Hitting Coach

    I'm pretty sure I saw Matt Holliday at Friday night's game. I was watching the Cubs feed in a bar, so I could be wrong. BTW, if they bring Randolph on board, his primary focus should be Gleyber's defense.

    Only God Can Judge Judge

    I am insanely bored today, Crow, so I actually watched both the Yankees and Jays broadcast of that inning this afternoon. The crazy thing that I saw is that on the Jays feed, they showed Judge on deck and he was making hand signals to someone either on the bench or down the line. The Jay's...

    NY roster 2023

    It looks like Jake Bauers is getting a promotion. Hopefully this doesn't mean that they are expecting Judge to be out for very long. I heard somewhere that the Yankees have made changes to Bauers' swing. It would be nice if he resurrects his career and can add some offense...

    Anthony Volpe And What Can He VolBe?

    I like Volpe in the 9 spot. I don't think he will steal bases in great volume, but that is a great place to have a guy who can steal situationally. DJ at his best hits for a high average and puts the ball in play a lot, so it is also good to have speed in front of him just to avoid some DPs, to...

    2023 Yankees Spring Training News & Notes

    The easier solution would be if Stanton could play more OF. That would open the DH spot for other players. It might even help DJ stay healthy to get a couple of DH days a week. If somehow the Yankees swing a deal for Kepler, you need some kind of righthanded compliment for him if not a...

    2023 Yankees Spring Training News & Notes

    I think that between Rizzo's back issues, Lemahieu"s recent injury history, and Donaldson's AARP status, there will be plenty of ABs for a Donaldson/DJ/Rizzo/Torres rotation in the infield. There's a good chance that Donaldson will show some positive regression this season and they are stuck...

    2023 Yankees Spring Training News & Notes

    I was thinking about Florial recently. I'm not sure why he lost his prospect luster so quickly. I know he strikes out a lot, and the Yankees obviously have seen something about him that they don't like for the major league roster. IMO, he would be an obvious choice to give Bader days off so...

    Yankees Spring Training News & Notes

    Unless something really weird happens, Higgy is Cole's catcher. The Yankees didn't make the moves they did and more noticeably didn't without Cole's preference in mind. Since the Yankees have gone in a defense-first direction at the position, I would not be a bit surprised if the starts come...

    Joey Gallo Is A Yankee

    All of those HRs came up short of the wall in fair territory, so you also have to figure several HRs that hooked foul in front of a deeper right field pole. I think Joey is going to like hitting in the Bronx.

    'Invisible' Ellsbury

    I researched the insurance/release issues a few years ago. Here's an old article about how insurance actually works: https://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/understanding-the-business-of-baseball-insurance-on-player-contracts.html/. More than likely, Ellsbury's insurance ran out at the end of...

    Let's Make The Evil Empire Evil Again: NYY's Pursuit Of Manny Machado

    The knock on Andujar coming into the 2018 season is that he wasn't ready defensively and needed more developmental time. The major leagues, particularly in a major market during a pennant chase, isn't the place to change bad habits or reconstruct a throwing motion. I would like to see the...
