I hope he can drive in more than he lets in… |

Does this mean Kaybli will revive the old Uncle Ben's Converted Rice logo when he hits a home run? |

Does this mean Kaybli will revive the old Uncle Ben's Converted Rice logo when he hits a home run? I’ll work on it when I get home in the afternoon. 😂 Glad Rice is getting a chance! |

This is the correct move imo. A live bat at 1B is better than our other alternative in DJLM.

I'm excited to see what this kid can do! Hopefully, he can learn how to play 1B from Rizzo's example. I do have mixed emotions though, Rizzo may be my favorite Yankee, so I am not looking forward to him being replaced.

It wouldn't have been my choice, but I hope he does well.

It wouldn't have been my choice, but I hope he does well. I'm pulling for him for sure. I hope it works out better than the short-lived Chris Gittens enthusiasm of 2021. |

You just hope they have one more good run left in them. |

In with the new, out with the old farts! Jeep, I am sure you remember as I do when a popular veteran first baseman who was becoming injury-prone, Moose Skowron, was replaced by a young guy from the system named Joe Pepitone. I didn't like it at the time because Moose was one of my absolute favorites, but the move had to be made. Still I was happy for Moose when he had a great World Series for the Dodgers against us in 1963. Not happy about the series, which drove me crazy, but happy for him. |

Some fans are under the impression that "Moose" was a big guy, which explained his nickname. Nope...5'11" / 195. Nicknamed "Moose" when he was a kid because members of his family believed he resembled Il Douchebag...Benito Mussolini. |
