As many times as I've said I believe Gleyber is best suited to play 3B, it's a bit much to ask a player in his walk year to move to a position he's never played at this point in the season. You gotta be fair. If Cashman plans on playing Chisholm at 2nd he should move Torres. By "move", do you mean trade? |

I think it is unfair to force Torres to move to 3rd and equally unfairl to bench him. If I represented Torres, I'd perfer the chance to be a stretch run hero for another ccontender. |

Someone is going to have to play out of position ... might as well be the guy who is not likely to be here next season If Gleyber was really concerned about his Walk Year ... he shouldnt have have had the worst year of his career offensively. What does that say about his mental toughness That's a terrible attitude for a guy in his walk year. You would think Gleyber would want to do whats best for the team I'm so dissappointed in this guy who I supported for years while others bashed him |

Frankly, I'd like to see him moved...and go on to have an All-Star career with a contending team. |

If I could have turned Torres into Chisholm in ST I might have liked the move. The idea of adding a LH bat at 2nd does make sense for the Yankees. But this ain't ST. You just can't move a guy to a new position in August. It might screw with both Torres and Volpe as SS. There is timing and coordination in an infield. Very few guys can play more than one position at an elite (MLB) level. Those who do might be making it took too easy. Changing spots in the infield is a big deal. |

Gleyber owes the Yankees and the fans who stuck with him through all of his boneheadedness in hopes that he would finally get it together to earn a long term contract Instead he went out and sucked beyond what anyone could imagine and now he has the nerve to complain about moving positions? Who is going to want him? Gleyber should shut his mouth, hit like he is supposed to, play where he is asked to, and help the Yankees win a world series !!! That's the best thing Gleyber can do for himself and his teammates !! |

Whatever, if Torres is gonna pout about go ahead and play Chisholm at 3B. Stanton is back today, right?
C Wells
1B Rice
2B Torres
3B Chisholm
SS Volpe
LF Verdugo
CF Judge
RF Soto
DH Stanton
It forces Chisholm out of position, but doesn't necessarily have to be an everyday thing.
Verdugo has had 3 straight multi hit games but otherwise he's been total garbage. Over the entire year he's been trash vs. lefties and that's a career trend. At the very least, you can sit him vs. lefties. In those games, you can out Chisholm in LF (which is also a new position, but one that figures to be less of an adjustment). Play DJ or Cabrera at 3B those days.
And let's be real, we all know that Stanton will eventually end up back on the IL. There's also a chance he comes back and just sucks. I have no faith in him at this point. If and when that happens, you can DH Chisholm (or play him at 2B and DH Torres), or put Chisholm in CF/Judge to RF/Soto to DH.
It seems inevitable that at least one of Verdugo continuing to suck and/or Stanton getting hurt again will happen. Either scenario alleviates the need to play one of them at 3B. Granted, Dominguez could come back too so that could complicate it.
Honestly, I PRAY we get to actually be concerned about one of them learning 3B on the fly because if they're having to play one of them there that means they're getting strong enough offensive production health out of the OF that we're done playing Grisham out there. Because if he's still playing CF consistently then there's no need to put one of them at 3B when you can just play Chisholm in the OF. The putrid OF/DH production outside of Soto/Judge has to take care of itself to necessitate one of them at 3B which I'll take.

That's the best thing Gleyber can do for himself and his teammates !! Aaron Judge is the highest paid player on the Yankees and its Captain ! He should set the example and play 3rd. And for that matter, what does Cole do during the 130 games he doesn't pitch ? A little time in the infield might work out there too. Step up boys !!! |

Remember the game Mattingly played 3b? I can't recall if it was a Martin publicity stunt or if there was a real need. |

It was actually under Lou Piniella who had run out of position players by using a lot of pinch hitter early in the game. So in the middle of the game Mattingly was moved to third, and the first inning he was out there he started an around-the-horn double play! He also had a few other assists and I believe no errors. Just your everyday left-handed third baseman. |

If I represented Torres, I'd perfer the chance to be a stretch run hero for another ccontender. i've only seen one AB but do like chisholm and think he can bring "energy" to the team. on the other hand, the need was 3B and this doesn't solve it. makes little sense or fair to move either he or gleyber there in august. gleyber has stated his opposition to it and with his offensive struggles it will only complicate things. have to think they're planning to trade him. and as chisholm hasn't been a resounding success in CF and with stanton coming back and perhaps dominguez as well, not sure how he fits in the OF either unless they're thinking LF next season when verdugo is gone. seems like a square peg round hole thing. perhaps we'll get some clarity within the next 30 hrs. |

A bit of levity over a situation that may not even exist at some point later today or tomorrow… |
