The could move Andujar, but after that is the same weak ass crap.
Hicks is now leading off.

Saw this earlier on BA which I thought was interesting  
Strahan91 : 5/24/2022 6:52 pm : link
He's been red hot lately though

"Is Jasson Dominguez gonna be a ML regular? More?"

Josh Norris: I'll close today's chat with this: In the initial version of the Yankees re-rank, I had Dominguez a couple ticks lower than where he is now. By happenstance, I ran into a scout who had seen a lot of the Yankees this year and said that I might not be so quick to ding him that hard. The tools are still there, but the swing decisions were poor. In other words, he wasn't having problems recognizing pitches as he was swinging at pitchers' pitches more than he should. Now that the swing decisions have improved, so have Dominguez's results. Is he going to be a generational superstar as he was hyped? Doesn't seem likely, but there's still room there for a good major league career.

like he's swinging a lead pipe and has no idea what pitch it is until the ball is in the catcher's mitt.

What's worse is he has to fucking adjust his gloves like Bernie Williams after every pitch.

I'd be shocked if he turned into anything more than a poor man's Gerald Williams (RIP.)

Waldichuk has made the leap to AAA, I look for Wesneski and Waldichuk to bring some life to the team later this year.

I agree re: Florial, as well, sadly. I never thought he was the answer, either. Too bad we missed out on trading him when his value was better than what it is now. :/

It would be nice to see them to bring up an OF’er who was hot at the moment in AA or AAA. Unfortunately, no one really is doing all that great right now.

it's a long season. at least they won the game.

it would be unlike them, but does anyone think that they build up Gleyber and possibly trade him as part of a package for a legit CF and possibly a reliever?

Torres is playing well. He is so much better at 2nd base and while his power numbers are not 2018/19 his ABs are much better. IMHO, you do not trade him.
Hopefully, Stanton's calf was mild and only requires a few days.
I hope Miggy starts to hit - could help a lot near term and he could be part of a trade piece if he does hit. I realize you really do not want Judge out there full time, but I see little downside to him in CF, aside from wear and tear.
Amazing how a throw away stop gap pick-up- Trevino  
Stu11 : 5/25/2022 9:23 am : link
is gonna play such a huge role going forward. Marwin Gonzalez is going to play a big role for the time being too. Cash really needs to acquire a major league OF soon. like said, it doesn't have to be a star. Maybe a Tyler Naquin type. definitely a gutsy win last night with who was left playing by the end of that game.

I said last year he should give up switch hitting, because,
A) he can't hit left handed, and B)his mechanics are just terrible from the left side. His natural side is right handed, at least he looks a little better right handed.
Some on here pooh poohed that idea last year, talking about the short porch in RF...well if you can't hit lefthanded, what difference does the short porch make is my argument.
I am surprised they haven't broached that with him at this point? Others have given up switch hitting in the past.
Incidentally....it seems rumors of Jasson Dominguez's demise

were greatly exaggerated. Having a scorching May - .319/.413/.623 in 18 games. Now at .271/.333/.471 with 5 homers on the year, not bad after a terrible start.

Still a teenager.
Hopefully

DJ and Stanton are okay, they are going to Tampa for four games after this series ends. Stanton might wind up on the IL, with his injury history here, they might not want to take any chances. This organization tends to play it on the cautious side with injuries.

I saw that yesterday on the Yanks' website, he is only 19.
He might wind up as a corner outfielder, he has a thick body type. When people start throwing out names like Mantle and Trout, it is really not fair to a young man from another country also trying to learn a new culture, language, etc.
It's a lot more than just baseball...
yeah, the hype was ridiculous  
Greg from LI : 5/25/2022 11:32 am : link
But the talent is real. Not his fault that people were so over the top about him before he ever played a professional game. People also tend to forget that covid has cost him a lot of developmental time.

Still developing his contact skill - even during his hot streak he's striking out a lot. When he makes contact, though, he is destructive.

it's a long season. at least they won the game.

it would be unlike them, but does anyone think that they build up Gleyber and possibly trade him as part of a package for a legit CF and possibly a reliever?


I'd be more worried with how DJLM has stopped hitting since he signed that big contract.

This MIGHT be the dumbest post I have seen on a baseball discussion in a VERY long time.

The expectations were Wander-esque and he's just not the same level of prospect at this stage. I'm betting he'll get moved up to high A which will be very telling. If he can excel there like this past month there's reason to get the hype train rolling again but he needs to cut down on the k's.

Some copied a post from BA that other day in which they said a scout told them that they were being too negative on Dominguez and that the issue wasn't talent or pitch recognition- but pitch selection. In other words, once he figures out what pitches he SHOULD swing at, the results would improve.

Well, it looks like that's what's happening. Take a look at the splits between April and May.

What is interesting is that the K's are about the same, but the walks, hits, power, RBI, runs have all gone up.

JD's stats - ( New Window )
His numbers are significantly better batting lefty  
Strahan91 : 5/25/2022 2:47 pm : link
which makes me think it might benefit him to drop the switch hitting so he can focus solely on batting lefty. Wouldn't surprise me if that's a move the Yankees push him towards

I think the same size is too small to draft that conclusion. Between last year and this year he has something like 50 ABs. I think the Yanks will wait and see what happens over a couple full seasons and then look.
