EVERY LINEUP DECISION MATTERS & THE YANKEES ARE SCREWING IT UP!

It's bad enough that the Yankees can't construct a roster that makes sense let alone one that can be competitive and win. It gets worse when after Brian Cashman gives Aaron Boone a messy roster that he can't objectively evaluate it. He just tinkers with it like he's a scientist or something.

And a really foolish scientist at that. This isn't a franchise that is built or knows how to built to win anymore. Those days are gone. When you look at the lineup and see Baboonie shuffling between Anthony Volpe and Jose Caballero you know insanity has taken over. Logic and deductive reasoning do not exist. Baboonie doesn't even hesitate to put a .190 offensive and defensive liability at shortstop instead of the better all around player that is Caballero. The idea is to put the best players available on the field at all times, and that in no world means Volpe. He doesn't make the Yankees better, so he has no reason to even have a big league job anymore. He could literally be sent back down to Triple-A and rot.....but we see his mug in the dugout every game. 

But that's not all, folks! Now the Yankees have Jasson Dominguez playing right field down in Triple A. Yup, the stupid science experiment continues. The Yankees need someone in right field with Aaron Judge out and their brilliant idea is to move the guy that sucks defensively in left field to right field and hope and pray he is a million times better? The guy who has never played right field in the big leagues is going to fill in effectively. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Why? All in the goal of versatility. It's not about what's best and actually makes sense it's about versatility.

"We invested so much because we switched Jasson to left field before last year to help with the transition so we wanted him to really focus on that," Boone said HERE. "But to be able to have the versatility, I think, is important. Spencer has done a good job of getting some real reps in both corner spots as well as continuing to have center field in play. I think it just adds to their overall value a little bit."

I will admit, I am not a big fan of Spencer Jones but it's stupid to put Dominguez, who is defensively flawed already and plug him into a new role that he has no real experience and expect him to do better than the guy who actually CAN play right field. All for versatility. I guess it only matters that the player can stand in his spot on the field and not actually do the job well. 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The Yankees don't understand fundamentals or baseball at all. They just look at algorithms and hope it magically works. This is what they do....and this is why we haven't won a championship since 2009. 

This is a disaster waiting to happen AND just really freaking stupid.
