VOIT IS NOW A YANKEE FAN FAVORITE

Fans like winners. Luke Voit is doing what we need right now as a team.  Greg Bird is not. It's as simple as that.  The New York Post writes:

"Luke Voit failed to crush a home run Friday night and still his legend grew. The Yankees first baseman contributed with a quieter hit, a two-run single in the seventh inning of a 10-8 win at Yankee Stadium, but it evoked the same loud chants of “Luuuke!” across Yankee Stadium nonetheless...

Voit has delivered with the long ball — he has 10 in his last 24 games — but he showed Friday night he can contribute in other ways too, lining a single to left field in the seventh inning to give the Yankees a 9-4 lead...

Since taking over the starting job from Bird on Aug. 24, Voit is batting .337 with 22 RBIs and a 1.138 OPS. In 31 games overall as a Yankee, he has a slash line of .317/.389/.634." 

I think even Bird would now tell us... "Stick with what works".
