Derek Dietrich will fit in nicely as a New York Yankee. He has the energy and he has the talent. And he's not the only one that fits. Jay Bruce looks good right now. Oh happy day. That means one thing... some concern for what happens next with Mike Tauchman... a guy that's given the Yankees everything, but of course, new flavors and new energy sometimes take the forefront. Yes... it's only spring training, but things look really good, especially for a guy like Dietrich who I am personally rooting for!
"Both Bruce and Dietrich have a ton of left-handed power and both have impressed during the first week of Grapefruit League play.
Here are the very small sample size of numbers for all three contenders through Friday:Bruce: 3-for-4 with a double in two games.
Dietrich: 1-for-3 with a homer in two games.
Tauchman: 2-for-7 with a homer and two errors in three games.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman already feels that Bruce and Dietrich are making early roster pushes.
“They were brought in to get a legitimate shot to try to find a way to make this roster, and it’s a strong roster,” Cashman said on Friday."
Look, it's early and anything can happen, but stuff like this is what true competition is made of. Bring it!
