I will settle for some good at bats. I don’t expect him to come back and be the monster he was earlier in the year but just his presence changes things.

Ben Rice is hitting .231. Grisham is hitting .248. Jazz is hitting .246. Caballero is hitting .223. They can't hit. The only thing helping them, stat-wise, is they have over 90 homeruns combined.

And that proves that all but 2 are worse than league average. We are also talking about the $294,741,300 Yankees payroll. For that money, fans should expect a lot more players being above league average.

Keep in mind the Yankees are second in the majors in team OBP. They do still get on base a lot even though their averages look like crap (.252 as a team, 10th in the league)

Lead the majors in slugging and home runs, but are definitely too reliant on home runs to win. Don't manufacture enough runs, don't steal, although shockingly 15th in the league in steals.

That's not how it works. 8 guys have an OPS+ over 100 which means they are better than league avg.

Grisham is 10th in WPA (net increase in win expectancy at the plate) and 5th in Clutch (how much better he's been in higher leverage situations vs low leverage).

Jazz Chisolm was an All Star -- .817 OPS, 19 HR, 51 RBI, and 46 runs in 343 PA.

Giancarlo Stanton has come back hitting .270/.343/.532 with 10 HR in 140 PA.

Yes, this isn't the juggernaut Yankees of decades past, but it's a solid a team.

Finally got the twins back…unbelievably hard to get fine 9’s in this card. Love this card, and still believe these are waaay undervalued

I guess it’s a good thing “we” don’t have any say in it

Didn't a DH win the NL MVP award last year unanimously?
