I'd expect some regression from Sanchez, a 40% HR/FB rate is asinine. He might hit 40 home runs at some point, but I don't think it's happening just yet. 25-30 seems like a good bet, he has legit power.

ZiPS is a little more pessimistic than the other projections, but a 112 wRC+ would still make him one of the top offensive catchers in baseball.

Yeah 40 seems like a stretch for this year.

I'm so happy they now have multiple games on Sunday now. Yanks/Rays 1 PM on Sunday

Me too, great way to end the weekend. Baseball's always been a traditional family sport. Traditional and family is Sunday to me.

Aaron Hicks and Aaron Judge are neck and neck for the RF job in NY, my money is on Hicks, for the simple fact that Judge has 3 options left, Hicks has none. I don't see them carrying both, but I could be wrong.

I see Didi Gregorius is out for the 1st month of the season with the Yankees. His absence probably won't matter all that much overall but it's an injury this early in the season for a Yankees team I have as a darkhorse.

Why wouldn't they take both? Hicks can be the 4th OF and switch with all OF's.

Yankees option Rob Refsnyder to AAA Scranton, meaning Pete Kozma will back up Ronald Torreyes at SS while Didi is out. Luis Severino expected to be named the #4 SP today.

I'm a little surprised too, but this is year of finding things out and they need to find out if this kid is legit or not.

He had a really good Spring Training so I hope this continues. Pretty sure they have no issue sending him to the minors if he gets off to a slow start
