1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Want to pull as all. All right, how's it going? Everybody?

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I know a lot of you tuned out

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: from baseball after the Yankees lost the World Series, and

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna blame you. Obviously, you've probably heard about

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Juan Soto leaving via free agency, and so I kind

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: of wanted to take a quick snapshot of where the Yankees'

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: lineup is as of right now. So my lineup order

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: may differ from yours, but in general, I think all

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: of the component pieces are gonna be the same. It's

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: just how you want to arrange them. Let's take a

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: look at the depth chart first before we get started

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: and just kind of see where we're at. So as

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: you can see, Dominguez probably gonna have a lane to

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: start this year. Right now, I've got him in left field,

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger picked up via trade from the Cubs. He's

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: in center, Aaron Judge sliding back over to right field,

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: where he is an elite defender. Jazz Chisholm. There was

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: another report this morning he is gonna move back to

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: second base, most likely, which opens up a spot at

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: third base. Right now, I've got Piraza in there as

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: my third baseman. Dj Lemayhew also an option. He's on

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: the bench for me right now. Oswaldo Cabrera also an option.

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Anthony Volpi of course at shortstop,

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmith the new first baseman, and John Carlos Stanton

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: the DH with Austin Wells behind the dish right now,

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: no set backup catcher. I've got Ben Rice as my

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: second string catcher because he can actually back up at

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: two positions, both catcher and first base. And he's got

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: a good left handed swing, and I think he will

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: hit if he gets more at bats. And right now,

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the Yankees don't have a clear cut favorite for the

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: backup catcher position. They just acquired Alex Jackson as well,

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: but he's kind of a journeyman type, not on the

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: forty man roster. So I want to go through the

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: lineup and just kind of see where we're at. This

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: is how I would lay things out. You may feel differently.

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Leading off, I've got mister Jason Dominguez the marton. I

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: really think he's gonna have a strong rookie campaign. He

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: is the yankees number one prospect. Of course, a lot

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: has been made over the five point one million dollars

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: signing bonus. Yankees gave him pretty much their entire bonus.

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Pool made his debut at twenty years old, four home

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: runs in his first seven big league games. Then he

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: tore his UCL required Tommy John surgery eight eighty ops

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: coming back this year in the minor leagues. Struggled a

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: little bit when he got back to the major leagues.

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: But I am very confident in Jason Dominguez's ability. And

48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: again we'll go through all of these and then we'll

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: take a look at the lineup in order where it

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: will be a little bit easier to visualize. So batting second,

51
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: I've got Aaron Judge moving back into the number two spot.

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Three twenty two average last year, fifty eight home runs,

53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: just another unbelievable season. Two time MVP. He's got three

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: fifty home run seasons in his career. He's a six

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: time All Star, four times Silver Slugger, and of course

56
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: he is the Yankees captain. He's got seven years remaining

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: on that record contract that he signed. Now he's gonna

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: lose a lot of RBI opportunities this year because Juan

59
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: Soto will not be hitting in front of him. That's

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of why I want Jason Dominguez at the top

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: of the order because he seems like he could be

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: a high on base percentage guy. His OBP was very

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: good in the minor leagues. We've seen him be very patient.

64
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: I think if he can develop into a pretty good

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: on base machine, it could help, you know, replace a

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: little bit of that that void that we're gonna have

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: of base runners on in front of Aaron Judge. Now

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: in the number three spot. You know, I want to

69
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: go lefty, righty, lefty, righty as much as possible, so

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I've got Cody Bellinger in the number three spot. Now,

71
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Belly didn't have an amazing year last year statistically, and

72
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Ai definitely captured his perpetual stoned look. But two sixty

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: six average last year, eighteen home runs, seventy eight RBIs

74
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: year before that he was fantastic seven three or seven average,

75
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: twenty six home runs, comeback Player of the Year, He's

76
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: been an MVP. He is battle tested, twenty nine years old,

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: still playing for an even bigger contract. He is owed

78
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: fifty seven million dollars, but he hasn't opt out after

79
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: this year, which he may use if he has a

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: good year, and that slides mister John Carlow back into

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the number four spot. Ideally, I don't really want him

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: in the number four spot. I'd prefer somebody who makes

83
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more contact. But since you're staggering lefty, righty, lefty,

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: righty at this point, it makes sense to have Big

85
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: G in their number four. Obviously, the ALCS MVP Nuclear

86
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: Stanton twenty seventeen MVP with fifty nine home runs, still

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: some of the best bat speed and best power in

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: the game, seven home runs in the playoffs. He's had

89
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: leg issues since twenty nineteen. He misses a lot of time.

90
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: He really can't run anymore. He's still got three years

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: left on his contract at sixty six million total. You're

92
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: never gonna hear me complain about this contract again. I

93
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: know I've given him a hard time over the last

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: couple of years because of how much time he's missed,

95
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: but the fact that he hits every time he's in

96
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the postseason and he carried us to the World Series.

97
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: Next up, I've got Austin Wells your sat I drink

98
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: you on milkshake. Ranked second in AL Catching War to

99
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: Cal Raley of the Mariners. Now, his overall stats were

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: not amazing two twenty nine average, three twenty two on

101
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: base percentage, although you do like an on base percent

102
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: that's almost one hundred points higher than the average. Thirteen

103
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: home runs. But he had a stretch there from June

104
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: first through August thirty first, where he hit two eighty

105
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: eight eleven home runs, nine hundred ops, three seventy eight

106
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: on base percentage, and thirty seven ribies. He struggled a

107
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: little bit down the stretch, but I like his swing.

108
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I like some of the adjustments he made late in

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs in October. He obviously hit a big home

110
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: run in the World Series. I think that Austin Wells

111
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: is going to take that next step forward offensively this year.

112
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Two sixty two seventy twenty home runs I think is

113
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: perfectly reasonable for Austin Wells. All right, since we're going

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: lefty righty again next the new guy, Paul Goldschmith. Ohoh,

115
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Google is required. Paul Goldschmidt is a professional, just a

116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: total professional. Had a little bit of a down first

117
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: half last year, with bounce back in the second half

118
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: with an OPS almost at eight hundred. He's played one

119
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus games in nine straight full seasons,

120
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty when there was only sixty games,

121
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: he played in fifty eight of them. He was the

122
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: MVP in twenty twenty two. And as I mentioned in

123
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: a recent podcast, I have a few friends that are

124
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Cardinal fans, and so I kind of pinged them and said, hey,

125
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: tell me about Paul Goldschmidt. Right, I saw the bad

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: numbers in the first half look better in the second half,

127
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: and they said, basically, he's a ballplayer, right, he was

128
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: working on some swing mechanics. Would not shock them if

129
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: he bounced back with the Yankees this year. Now, he

130
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: is a little bit long in the tooth, gonna be

131
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old this year, so I wouldn't count

132
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: on another MVP season. But if he hits two sixty,

133
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: two seventy, maybe two eighty with twenty bombs and plays

134
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: every day at first base and picks it over there

135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: he does have four gold gloves, I think that will

136
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: be a nice, nice pickup for the Yankees and an

137
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: improvement over what Anthony Rizzo gave you. You're like Jazz.

138
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Next on our list is Jazz as Chishum, twenty six

139
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: years old, twenty four home runs, forty stolen bases in

140
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four two seventy three average, eleven home runs,

141
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: eighteen stolen bases, one hundred and thirty oh ps in

142
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: forty six games with the New York Yankees. He was

143
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: an All Star with Miami in twenty twenty two, and

144
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: he can play either second base or third base. He

145
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: can also play the outfield. He played center with Miami,

146
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: but the thought is that the Yankees are going to

147
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: move him back to second base this year, which will

148
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: open up third base for someone who will talk about

149
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more in just a second, but I

150
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: think that will give the Yankees a strong team up

151
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: the middle. When you got Wells behind the dish, you

152
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: got Volpi and Chisholm up the middle, and then you

153
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: got Bellinger in center field. That's a pretty strong defense

154
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: straight up the middle, which is what you want in baseball. Now,

155
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about that shortstop to play Volpe. Yeah, Volpi's

156
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: my shortstop. Obviously, He's my number eight hitter. He began

157
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: the season as the leadof hitter last year. He actually

158
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: did a really nice job for the first couple of

159
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: months before really struggling. I saw a post on Reddit

160
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: that pretty much sums him up perfectly. And I'm paraphrasing now,

161
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: but it said something like he'll be unbelievable for two

162
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: or three weeks and then stink for four weeks. And

163
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly the feeling I get with Anthony Volpi. Twenty

164
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: eight stolen bases last year, one of the better base

165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: runners in baseball ninety seventh percentile according to Baseball Savant.

166
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I do hope that he can be that guy that

167
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: we had for the first couple of months of the

168
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: season and doesn't regress him too a defensive first short style,

169
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: although well maybe defensive first, but you don't want him

170
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: to be defense only. You want more offense. He did

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: have some good at bats in the playoffs, and he

172
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: hit that home run the Grand Slam in the World Series,

173
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: which maybe will give him a little bit of added confidence.

174
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: I've been saying he needs a little bit more time off.

175
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: He always plays better after you give him a few

176
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: days off. He plays hard. He's always diving and things

177
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: like that and stealing bags, and I just feel like

178
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: if you give him, you know, one or two days

179
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: off a month, I think he'll be a lot more

180
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: healthy in the long run, all Right, rounding out my lineup,

181
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and this is why the Yankees need one more baut

182
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look at Oswald Piazza. That's a

183
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: special play right there. As I mentioned now, he is

184
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: our third baseman for the time being, unless you go

185
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: with DJ Lemayhew, which no serious team would do given

186
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: what DJ's shown over the last couple of years. He'll

187
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: be twenty five this year, so he's not really a

188
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: prospect anymore. He still has elite defensive abilities. He's played

189
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: in seventy four major league games. He hasn't had a

190
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: ton of at bats, about two hundred and fifty at

191
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: bats or so. I don't have the number right in

192
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: front of me, but two sixteen average, four home runs,

193
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: six to twelve OPS and a seven to sixty eight

194
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: career minor league OPS, so he doesn't tear the cover

195
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: off the ball. He definitely has some offensive room to grow.

196
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: He's got some pop, We've seen it. He's got speed,

197
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: and defensively he's elite, got an amazing arm over there,

198
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: very very quick hands. I think he'll do fantastic at

199
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: third base. Defensively, the issue is going to be will

200
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: he hit and will the Yankees give him a chance

201
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: to hit. I don't know, ideally, you like a left

202
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: handed hitting, you know, third baseman who can fill in.

203
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: You know, where's Robin Ventura? Can he still play? You know,

204
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: someone of that ilk, a sweet swinging lefty. I'm kind

205
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: of bummed that they traded Trey Sweeney. They didn't really

206
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: get much for him. He's become a pretty good defensive

207
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: shortstop with the Tigers. I feel like he could have

208
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: been the third baseman in waiting for the Yankees if

209
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: you wanted him. Maybe the Tigers will make a deal.

210
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but anyway, that's the way my lineup's

211
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: looking right now. Let's go ahead and take a look

212
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: at the overview here so we can visualize this a

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: little bit better. Dominguez leading off in left field, switch

214
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: hitter Judge batting second. He is in right field, he is,

215
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: of course, a right handed hitter. Bellinger in centerfield as

216
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: a lefty John Carlos Dan in the cleanup spot, a

217
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: righty Wells behind the dish, a lefty Goldschmidt first base,

218
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: a right batting seventh, Jazz Chisholm lefty batting eighth, Anthony

219
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Volpi at shortstop and batting ninth, oswald Perrazza. It goes lefty, righty, lefty, righty, lefty, righty, lefty, righty,

220
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: and then another righty against a right handed pitcher. That's

221
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: pretty good against a left handed pitcher. Dominga is not

222
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: as strong from the right side, so maybe you don't

223
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: bat him lead off against left He's maybe a switch

224
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, Volpie up there for the time being, or

225
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: maybe put Dimingez up there and let him sink or swim.

226
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see. But I like the lineup other

227
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: than Perraza. There's been some talk about Oswaldo Cabrera playing

228
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: third base. You know, he is a switch hitter, so

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: that would, you know, give you a little bit more

230
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: flexibility there. But the Yankees like him as a utility guy,

231
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: and I don't see them giving him a starting job,

232
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: even though he showed some great moments last year. Ideally

233
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: one more bat. I'm just not sure who's out there.

234
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: There's been some talk about Ryan McMahon. The Rockies have

235
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: shown no interest in dealing him. You know, I just

236
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: don't think that there's a lot of guys out there

237
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: who can who can come in and play third base

238
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: and be an effective left handed bat. You know, maybe

239
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: there's a prospect out there somewhere that I'm overlooking. But

240
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: now that's Brian Cashman's job. I'll just react to it

241
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: when it happens. Hey, while I've got you here, be
