Other news:Yankees dilemma

Post by kyace »

When Judge returns he will have to DH due to flexor strain which means Stanton will have to play the field. Having watched the Yankees this year quite a bit, any of the current Molina brothers could out run him. The guy looks as if running in slow motion. Going to be quite the site to see him play the field.

Yes as far as movement but he still smokes the ball when making contact.

Maybe they will play him in right at home and then leftfields that are smaller on the road.

Watch him running all out to try to score. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-RHx0oUVRyQ

He's an astounding 23.9 in sprint speed (Pozo is the Cards slowest at 24.7). He's -20 in baserunning runs per Statcast and -18 in extra bases taken.

Plus he missed the first part of the year with elbow problems, I doubt if he has even thrown a baseball this year.

Just spitballing, but can he play 1b?

He can stand there and catch throws if online and he doesn’t have bend or stretch. Otherwise no
