THE JUDGE IS READY AND SO ARE WE!

Today's the day, the first Spring training game, 1:05pm, Yankees vs. Red Sox and it just feels right. We have been waiting for this! I am getting so psyched about this team and what they can do this season.  Sure, there will be lows, but I see plenty of highs in our future as we move forward.  One of the main guys I can't wait to see again is Aaron Judge.

YES Network has this great piece about Aaron and I hope you all read it. It's HERE... but here's excerpt. In a nutshell... he's healthy and he's ready to go... and a lot of this coming from the mouth of Boone, who has that front row seat.


"'He's as healthy as he's been probably since he's been in the big leagues,' Boone told reporters...'He's so much further ahead of the game from where he was last year,' Boone said. 'A lot of his winter (last year) was poured into the rehab of the shoulder.' 

Judge, 26, batted .278 with 27 home runs and 67 RBIs last season. In the postseason, he hit .421 with three home runs in five games."


And look, that's a good thing. We want this guy leading this team.  We all believe that CC Sabathia is the leader and "captain" of the clubhouse, but CC leaves after this year.  And with that, we ready need to turn to someone new. My prediction? It will be Judge.  He's got everything you want in a Captain... plus he leads by example.

Good piece YES...

LET'S GO YANKEES!

Be Read. Get Known.
