    ...don't look now, not Judge, not Stanton, but instead a 21 year kid is now leading the Yankees in slugging. (,554).

    The other rookie infielder, Miguel Andújaar, is having an excellent season as well (Slugging 0.497).

    ...yup...but I hope both of those youngsters don't get too caught in the HR mentality and eventually learn to take some of the pitches out of the zone that they swing at and be content with taking more walks to increase their OBP...especially Andujar.

    They have solidified the Yankee infield by competing for and winning their jobs when given the chance. Still making some bonehead plays but that will disappear in time. I'm fine with Judge except for the strikeouts other than that he's shown to be excellent in other aspects of his game. No comment on the Miami import.
