I'm just some schmuck on the internet, but here's my grades on each individual Yankees season. I'm taking both regular and post season into account to arrive at a final grade. Things such as salary, and expectations are also factored in.
Catchers
Austin Wells (24) - .229/.322/.395/.718, 13 HR, 55 RBI, 1 SB - Wells came into the season with modest expectations as a rookie. After a rough start, he seemed to find his footing come July and by August/early Sept he was one of our best hitters as he started getting more consistent playing time. He slumped as September wore on as his playing time became more irregular again and struggled pretty badly in the playoffs (.120 BA), though he did have a couple of big HRs. He showed he could really handle himself behind the plate with a real knack for framing pitches. Overall, I think he fared pretty well and looks like he should be a pretty solid C for the Yanks for a while. Grade: B
Jose Trevino (31) - .215/.288/.354/.642, 8 HR, 28 RBI, 1 SB - Trevvy got off to a fast start, batting in the .280's or higher into late May, but his production dwindled badly as the season wore on. Worse, behind the plate his limitations caused significant issues with opponents running on him culminating in an embarrassing performance where the Red Sox ran all over him. He played little and was a non-factor in the playoffs. His contract is up, so we've probably seen the last of Trevvy in pinstripes. Grade: C-
Carlos Narvaez (25) - .231/.333/.231/.564, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 SB - A marginal prospect, there's not much to go off of here as Carlos was only up for a few weeks and received sporadic playing time. Went 3-13 with 2 BB and 6 K. Does he get a look as Wells' backup or platoon partner in 2025? He does seem to have a decent eye as he's logged a strong .371 OBP in 762 minor league plate appearances. Grade: Incomplete

I’d take another year of Wells, but he’s not very good with the bat vs. LHP. He needs a strong platoon partner that can challenge him for the job and reduce his workload a bit. Is that Naervez? Maybe. I like him more than the Yanks seem to like him. I look for us to pick up a RHH catcher this winter…

Corner Infield
1B Anthony Rizzo (34) - .228/.301/.335/.637, 8 HR, 35 RBI, 0 SB - Rizzo provided very little in another injury plagued season. Even when he was in the lineup, his bat appeared washed. On top of that, his once excellent defensive skills were obviously eroded. Hit a respectable .267 in the playoffs, but didn't manage to drive in a single run in 30 ABs. His contract is up, so his days in pinstripes appear to be over. At least that's one bad contract off the books. Grade: D
1B/3B DJ LeMahieu (36) - .204/.269/.259/.527, 2 HR, 26 RBI, 0 SB - Another dreadful contract we're unfortunately stuck with for 2 more years. DJ battled injuries again, and was a blackhole offensively for 201 ABs before being shut down for good in early September. Split his time evenly between 1B and 3B. Not much to say, other than YUCK. Grade: F
1B/3B Oswaldo Cabrera (25) - .247/.296/.365/.661, 8 HR, 36 RBI, 4 SB - Saw most of his action at 3B, though he started seeing more at 1B late in the season. A useful swiss army knife, he played every position but CF in 2024. Offensively, he looks adequate for a utility role, but he doesn't hit enough to be a regular CIF. Was used very little in the playoffs going just 1-6 with a double and 3 BB. Grade: B
3B - Jazz Chisholm (26) - .273/.325/.500/.825, 11 HR, 23 RBI, 18 SB - Cashman's big deadline grab, Jazz injected power and speed into the lineup and acquitted himself quite well at 3B, a position he'd never played before and showed off a rocket of an arm. Has the hustle and an personality that appear tailor-made for the Bronx. Question is does he remain at the hot corner or does he move over to his more natural 2B position if the Yanks move on from Gleyber? Excellent season was marred a bit by playoff struggles (.159 BA). Grade: B+
1B Ben Rice (25) - .171/.264/.349/.613, 7 HR, 23 RBI, 0 SB - Marginal prospect was called upon after just a handful of games at AAA because of injuries. Got off to a surprisingly fast start culminating in a big 3 HR game against the Sawks in early July, but his numbers plummeted from there. Doesn't appear to have the skills to be an answer at 1B fulltime, but has shown a good eye in the minors with a .399 OBP in 1014 PA's, and had a good showing in Scranton last season. Given the limited expectations, it's hard to complain too much about what he contributed. Grade: C+
3B Jon Berti (34) - .273/.342/.318, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 5 SB - Another swiss army knife, season was limited by injury. Was reasonably effective when he played, but not much to go off of given he got into just 25 games all year. Grade: B
1B - J.D. Davis (31) - .105/.227/.158/.385, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0 SB - A midseason dumpster-dive as injuries mounted, Davis was a non-factor in 7 games, going 2-19 with 1 RBI, 3 BB, and 9 Ks before being released after a short stint. Grade: F
3B - Oswald Peraza (24) - .200/.273/.500/.773, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 0 SB - Former top-100 prospect in 2022/2023, Oswald was limited to just a short cup 'o coffee with the Yanks in 2024 and had an underwhelming season in Scranton. Can play multiple positions, so maybe he carves out a utility role eventually, but he's looking like another guy who received some accolades coming through the system that never really amounts to a whole lot. Grade: Incomplete
UT - Kevin Smith (28) - N/A, 2 Games, 0 PA - One time Blue Jays/A's prospect was an offseason dumpster dive who got into just 2 games with the Yanks as a pinch runner. I don't recall him even logging a plate appearance. Grade: Incomplete

Grade: Incomplete Nice job Donnie, IMO you are pretty spot on. I'm a pretty big Wells fan so I paid closer attention to his ABs more than other players. Not entirely sure why he slumped so badly at the end of the season. Seemed like his BA dropped about 40 pts in his last 100 ABs or so and as you say he struggled in the playoffs. There seem to be two theories, 1. fatigue because of increased playing time and 2. the league adjusted to him. I'm anxious to see how he does next season. Higgy is a FA and might make a good backup. He's 35 years old but is pretty good defensively and seems to have a knack for getting a timely hit from time to time. Good job, look forward to reading the rest of your reviews. |

I'm actually a bit worried that Cash is going to bring Rizzo back on a "cheap" contract. He seems to make that mistake with aging players too often.

Middle Infield
2B Gleyber Torres (27) - .257/.330/.378/.709, 15 HR, 63 RBI, 4 SB - Got off to a horrible start to the season and it looked certain they Yanks would move on after the season until he started to come on after being moved to the leadoff spot over the last few weeks of the season. Was further effective leading off in the playoffs. Was still prone to frustrating miscues in the field including a big one that contributed to the Yanks meltdown in game 1 of the WS. Overall, it was not a great season offensively for him, his .709 OPS was the second worst of his career. Does the respectable offense he provides at 2B outweigh the defensive issues enough to bring him back? Personally, I feel it's best for both player and organization to move on, but that's obviously not my call. Grade: C
SS Anthony Volpe (23) - .243/.293/.364/.657, 12 HR, 60 RBI, 28 SB - Saw a modest increase in BA from his rookie season, but both slugging and OPS dipped as he fell from 21 HR to 12. Provides a good SB threat with good speed and a good not great glove at SS. Though his BA did rise, I'm not sure I personally saw the progress at the plate I'd hoped for as he was still prone to horrific ABs and disappeared for long stretches. Did have a strong postseason (.286/.407/.408/.815) coming up big in some key spots (including a grand slam in game 4 to stave off elimination) which helps his overall grade. Is that the progress we hoped for? Either way, he's still young so there's time. Grade: B-

Anyway once again perhaps 1/2 point to generous with the grades, but otherwise pretty spot on. I still want to move Volpe to second. But he and Torres are not a good tandem in the center. Too many double play balls turn into single outs. Who to blame? I suspect Volpe’s feeds to be poor… |

I also agree about the DP tandem, though I saw way more poor feeds from Torres than Volpe. What about moving Jazz to second base and getting a third baseman? |

Please tell me they're gonna release DJ and just eat the money. I think they'll at least wait and see what DJ look like in spring training. Maybe an offseason of rest and rehab does him good? He MIGHT make a decent platoon piece to rest Jazz and partner up with Rice at first base. He’s sure not going to get much slower on the bases, because he almost fast walks them now. I could see him having a few fumes left in the tank, but I don’t want him holding back a young player…A lot depends on our winter moves… |
