Reports say drury and bird should be ready in next week or 2. Bird should join the team and be worked back in as our first baseman maybe platooning with austin till he knocks the rust off. The bigger question is drury. What the hell do you think the yanks do with him?? Hard to see andujar going back as well as he's played. Going to be very interesting. German opened a lot of eyes yesterday with his repertoire of pitches and with the 6 or 7 starts at least he has left has a chance to make a claim on a rotation spot. Also, Sheffield was promoted the other day to triple A and by the all star break he will be in a position to be called up in case of an injury or just poor performance. The yankees are just freaking loaded with talent anywhere and everywhere you look.
As far as I'm concerned both GT & Andujar have earned their jobs through regular play. Gregorius is at short, Toe is the utility guy. Bird at first rounds out a damn good infield. Drury & or Walker could be traded, hope they can keep Austin room permitting. German did one hell of a job and has at least earned another start.If he is successful it would add to in season competition in the starters ranks. Regardless of recent results, the Staff has been somewhat shaky and the offense has bailed them out. When Betances is in their things are not stable he needs to be shaped up or shipped out. The overall roster has gone through plus cah
Yeah, that would be a real shame too...he's done everything that's been asked of him while being a helluva utility man...and well liked by the other guys.
