WHEN BADER COMES UP, ONE WILL GO DOWN & YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE IT


Last week we reported that Harrison Bader would be up Friday for the Red Sox series.  Then it turned out he was staying with the Somerset Patriots for 2 more games.  We wrote and updated THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET BADER. It happens.  Now comes word that he may with back with the big team Tuesday. But who he is replacing may not make you happy. Rotoballer writes:

" Harrison Bader (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list on Tuesday....The Yankees have sent down Oswaldo Cabrera to open up a roster spot for Bader. The 29-year-old is batting .267 with six homers and six steals in 26 games, making for an interesting power/speed combination. "

I've watched the fans on social media over the past few weeks almost appear to turn on Bader. Mostly for his lack of field presence and often being hurt.  I get it, but when on, this guy can do damage. 

In contrast, fans have a soft spot for Cabrera, a hungry young player with a dream to follow.  I get that as well... but right now the Yankees have to try and figure out how to get out of the funk they're in, and to be honest, guys like hitting coach Dillon Lawson are not helping matters.

Anyway... that's your Bader update, do with it what you will.
