There was a point I woulda put money on him being a 3000 hit lock

HOF talent that just didn’t do it long enough
Agreed. I thought he would kick around long enough to get to 3K. But he finished without even getting to 2K. He’s not close.

I think he homered in every AB this last postseason

health is the issue, not 9 games in 3 years bad, but the guy is definitely an assassin when he stays healthy

still a terrible deal that’s handcuffed the organization financially and clogging up the DH spot
He did hit some homers in the playoffs, but that is making you forget what a no-show he has been since day 1. He hit 59 homers in 159 games for the Marlins in 2017. He’s hit 45 in 199 games since. Guy is falling apart physically. The last 3-4 years of this deal might just look like Pedroia’s.

Muscle heads aren’t cut out for a grueling 162 game season

Judge the same, too many muscle pulls, tight this or that

they should both be put on ice till October

Remember when Stanton came over and you were trying to figure out the whole “Mt Crushmore” or “Slam Central Station” thing? The over/under on combined HR’s from Stanton and Judge was over 100(they combined to hit 111 in 2017). They’ve combined to hit 108 in the 3 YEARS since.

I think you are on the right track with keeping them on ice until October. Yankees need 2 DH slots for that lineup.

Lol

I like it. They need zero from those guys in the Reg season, but both talented enough to make a huge October difference

I propose their seasons starting Sept 15 in order to get some ABs

prob get hurt in those 2 weeks

It's OK, Cano will miss more games because of suspensions than Pedroia will because of injuries.
