No one said he is "the savior"...but guaranteed he'll be in the lineup, whether you like it or not. And he should be. He has 18 HR's and 45 RBI in just 260 at bats and he hits well with runners in scoring position. Of course. Some fans let their "dislike" for players cloud their judgement. |

July 18, 2017-In a major deal before the July 31st MLB Trade Deadline, the Yankees would acquire veteran MLB INF Todd Frazier and Relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox in exchange for MLB Reliever Tyler Clippard along with 3 Minor League Players: Pitcher Ian Clarkin, Outfielders Blake Rutherford and Tito Polo. The Yankees will use veteran MLB INF Todd Frazier at 3B. Meanwhile Former Yankees Closer David Robertson and Reliever Tommy Kahnle will become part of the 2017 Yankees bullpen. The 3 Minor League players never had any success at the MLB level.

I was kidding about Stanton. The Yankees could put Judge at lead off. I am not sure that it would make a difference. At the end of the day the Yankees need to have at least one more solid bat. Yanks slide can be tied directly to Stanton’s absence. Coincidence? Maybe. Regardless, he’s supposed to be back “soon”, and he’ll be in the lineup. Hopefully he’ll pick up where he left off. With Soto-Judge hitting 1-2 he’d hit 3 or 4, depending on where Wells hits. From there Yanks can follow L/R in just about any order. Stanton did a very good job for the Yankees prior to getting hurt. His return will help the offense. But the Yankees still need another bat if they are going to hit their way to a WS. Assuming Stanton is back next week at the DH role....How about sitting Verdugo and letting Grisham play ? |

Guess it couldn't hurt to play Grisham, but how would the OF be configured? 1 of 3 would be playing out of position. |

Soto isn't going to be moved. Grisham might be decent in LF. He has all the skills but he would have to adjust to the angles. |

These rumors probably won't amount to much but imagine Cashman trading for a pitcher he let walk in free agency to he could spend a ton on Rodon.

Everyone knows I don't like Stanton and can't wait until the day he is out of Pinstripes. The guy is not a gamer. He doesn't play the field. He doesn't run. He doesn't hustle. He doesn't play hurt or gut it out. He is waste of the roster spot for a good depth player. He is a $30 million cheerleader who occasionally crushes a HR.

Tailon did a decent job here and was buddies with Cole and Trashman let him go.

The only way Spto moves in the lineup is if he makes that decision. Since he has only batted lead off twice in his career, I am going to guess he doesn't like the idea. Maybe the Yankees might want to take a flyer on Grisham batting lead off. Since he got into the lineup every day his batting average is a respectable 256 and his obp over 300. Noe exactly HOF numbers but good enough to deserve an audition. What a crazy thing to suggest ? |

I know it's a broken records but when he comes back and we have no depth on the bench and he is in a slump swinging at pitches in the dirt no one better be complaining because they love his occasional HR.

Seems you haven't been paying attention to what most (all?) here have been saying about Stanton for as long as I've been here, as well as on YES. |

I would rather have rookie up here playing for a spot and giving it his all then an injury prone loafing DH. When have you ever heard a team say we might not even send him on a rehab assignment because he doesn't need it because he doesn't do baseball activities? |

I'd "rather" many things...unfortunately I and others are forced to deal with reality. |

Kyle Scwharber has 19 home runs this year in 403 pa. Stanton has 18 in 281. I've cursed the deal that brought him to New York 10900 times but you gotta be fair. The guy was doing a good job for the Yankees. I wish he were more versatile, but you can't make ballplayers in the basement. You gotta use the ones you got. |
