I'm not a fan of injury and I can't stand when top paid players are out for a long time... but meanwhile the young guys... guys that just want a shot, are up and contributing big time. Why can't I stand it? I'll tell you why... because when that top player comes back... that young kid, whether he's batting .800 or not, takes a back seat because the top paid player is well... top paid, and needs to be out there so the team can justify why they pay him so damn much.
Giancarlo Stanton has been out forever. But now he's expected to come back... by September. Lucky us.
Larry Brown Sports writes:
"Brian Cashman said Thursday that the team expects the former MVP to be able to return in September...In his absence (plus those of many of their other stars), the Yankees have still managed to go an AL-best 81-41 and lead their division by a full ten games. Stanton will obviously have an eye towards getting right before the playoffs, especially in light of the trash talk that he had for his former team. "
You remember this... right?
A shot at the Marlins.Giancarlo Stanton said that his biggest difference in New York was “playing in games that mattered past May 7.”— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) February 18, 2019
Anyway... and you know what will happen. They'll need to make a personnel change and someone will need to move. Let's hope Stanton's presence doesn't disrupt all the Yankees have accomplished!
The player Stanton will replace is Mike Ford. Have you looked at his stats? I'm thrilled he will be replaced by an MVP quality player.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why Frazier is not playing DH 3 days a week and the OF 1 day a week and end the Ford expierment.
ReplyDeleteSure are some dumb moves being made , Dull , Hernandez and Lyons .Like let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
People busting on Adams and yet it is his first real a tion against MLB player with any extended time.
Lail was DFA'd for Dull who has pitched terrible and he is a veteran and Lail was so excited to be a Yankee.We need those guys.
Hey if you won't call up Frazier call up Higgy and he and Romine can catch while Sanchez can DH since Romine and Higgy has been more productive the last month.
If the Yankees are clicking , Boone will rest the ones that are clicking just wait and see.
