He’s a lefty hitting .303 in AAA and has an .851 OPS. Plus he stole 3 bases today bringing his total to 21. Still only 24 and never really was given a legit shot. I sure don’t want to upset the Big Apple cart but damn, he sounds like he could be a pretty good ML ball player if giver a chance. The Astros have been an elite hitting club (when they’re not cheating) for years and they still brought up Alvarez and Tucker and they got even better.
Seems like the Yankees have 2 choices. Play him instead of Hicks or Gallo. Or keep him at Triple A and hope he improves his trade value. In my opinion, they should try to trade Hicks and all or some of his 10 million dollar a year contract. It's not like Hicks is hitting the cover off the ball and he only appears to be a .230-.240 hitter.
I agree, but that trade is a tough one to pull off, I think... But hey, maybe he excels somewhre else, like, The Angels. I think he might be a good fit there. Anyway, we have Andujar and Florial waiting to come up. We may be losing the window for Andujar to come up and become a full-time, big league player.... but I think he deserves his shot.
Probably one or both (Andujar, Florial)of them are going to get traded if the Yankees won't make them every day players in their line up. Maybe the A's or Reds might want one or both of them included in a trade package for one of their pitchers? That is, unless those teams want players that are making MLB minimum salary. Florial can't be making much, not sure about Andujar.
