Cambo and Burns are talking about there is a possibility of bringing him in on a one year contract

I guess that would be the only thing. My wife is a Yankees fan and I watched quite a bit of their games and he was a non-factor all season.

Extreme splits. .981 OPS vs lefties. .680 vs righties.

That's why he works great with Pavin Smith in a platoon. Pavin .817 OPS vs righties. You end up getting around an .835 OPS out of first, which is well above average production

The lineup flexibility is great too because Goldy is a plus defender still at first

I was hoping that Locklear would look better than mediocre.

He is out for half the season and probably needs to spend the rest of it in the minors and play in the fall league next year.

Agree. I thought we got a steal but even before the injury, was underwhelmed

Hopeful that Ivan Melendez can be MLB ready by next September, if not sooner

If Pavin is part of the every day lineup, that is not a good thing. Fork over the $ for Pete Alonso and be done w/it - need right handed power

I could see Goldschmidt coming back if it's a reasonable deal, but he's strictly a stop-gap platoon player now.

Resigning McCann is more important, but fixing the outfield and the pitching staff are the top priorities.
