When we're down 2 runs with men on and Headley/Carter coming up.

ready for when we're up 3-2 after 7

just abysmal. Too bad since they are both hitting positions. I am surprised that Austin or someone else hasn't replaced Carter yet. I know the fans are tired of him striking out but it appears the organization isn't,yet. I can live with Headley batting 8th or 9th if Carter wasn't there.

Just wait for Bird and Torres. This lineup is going to be the bomb

...in 2018.

Would you start having Judge take reps at 1st base next spring?
Or even Frazier at AAA this year?

Bird is hurt because he fouled a ball off his knee.
Earlier this year it was foul off his ankle?
Can this man play without hitting the DL every 3 months?

If Judge was at 1st you could bring up Frazier next year with Fowler and Sell Gardner(now one is taking Els)
meaning Hicks Frazier Fowler outfield with Judge at 1st
Or he can play RF too and it would be Fowler Hicks and Judge and you could DH Frazier.
Either way it would not hurt the Yankees to Get Judge and Frazier some reps at 1st next year in ST.

Andujar and Mateo are both on the 40 man roster.

watch Pineda pitch.

Way to go!

back from the West Coast.

like he has nada..

fooled on a line drive to the warning track.

They were careful with Holiday, knowing they could get Castro to chase. And of course he does

can it get much slower?

time to flip him and Didi in the order.

Carter golden glove there.

turns into a leadoff runner on second base. What in the fuck. It's time to stop playing Carter. Seriously. No more of this bullshit.

little league plays?

Can't wait til he's a distant memory.

and WTF is Sanchez calling for a change up on a .177 hitter..

Get your votes in for Chris Carter for the All Star team?

Defended Carter tooth and nail and Basically trashed Tyler Austin as an option..

Carter is here to stay for atleast a few more weeks :(

Cash wasn't thrilled with that idea to say the least

carter cannot field..

How would you guys feel about Els in right field and Judge at first? I know its virtually a lock to not actially happen but...

I like it .

on Bird's return?

Makes Torres news easier to swallow

I like Judge at 1B in the future maybe. But to me the answer is trading both Gardy And Ellsbury and eating most of Ells money. In the offseason.

I think Judge stays put, but it wouldn't surprise me to see one of our OF prospects get a first basemen's glove sometime soon.

Seeing a specialist in charlotte tomorrow I believe.

He's feeling pain only when he "plays baseball hard"
Otherwise he doesn't feel it.

Sounds like he's the next Nick Johnson. Sad.

Putting little red in left?

Judge is so big they can throw the ball near the right side of the infield and get the out...

Yeah left is good, if he flops then Rutherford might be the guy.

Hopefully Mateo in CF, if not it could be Fowler if Ells and Gardy are dealt.. i would like to see Frazier get CF reps but he looks cemented into LF

At this point I would try Hicks Gardner and Judge at 1st in practice.

LF at home requires a CF. I think some of us forget just how important Gardner is out there. If Frazier isn't a CF I don't much like him for LF.

He can run super fast, has a cannon arm. Sure he won't be Gardy in LF..

But he will handle it, even in YS. And unlike Gardy and other LFs who profile toward Cf, Frazier can hit 35 HRs and steal 30 bags easily at the plate for starters. He's also almost ready just needs seasoning and maturity. His timeline to the bigs and Torres have now become very very similar with the injury. Tho it is perhaps possible we see Frazier in September

Either the wall, himself or another OF. I like his bat and I wonder if he should be a 1st baseman.

Or how about trading Gardner to the Mets for Bruce. At least we clear out an OF spot for some crown jewels

Mets love Bruce and want to resign him now apparently

and the Mets would want more.

he will likely be another over paid stiff. You might catch lightning in a bottle for brief periods but overall meh

.

I love Cashman but it's time to throw Carter away and just play Austin..

in a second if we cut him. They need his power .

is in the Baltimore minors and could be had in a trade. Just an option?

isn't something you do unless you know it will work based on information you have. If Austin was ready to take the 1B job, he'd be up.

.

and hit a wedge to RF over the fence.

3-2
