Didi to have TJS

[a700hitter]

I doubt it. Machado wasn't a good defender at SS this past yr and while Gleyber has the tools to be a good SS, he wasn't one this season. My bet is we sign Machado to play 3b long term but he sees time at SS until Didi returns. I think the Yankees will use this injury to lock him up for 2020 at least

Kicked to the curb.

For me, this opens the door for B.Harper. The Yankees are going to need a left handed bat more than anything else. They will sign Harper for LF, play Torres at SS, and find a temporary player at 2b until Didi returns. The Yankees OF will consist of Harper, Hicks, and Judge, with Stanton at DH.

I can't figure out if the Yankees plan to keep Andujar at 3b, trade him, or move him to 1b?

I hope the Yankees can't/don't sign Harper and Machado. Harper will probably cost 300 million at a minimum and there will be competition for Harper as well as Machado.

I doubt Harper sees a $300 mil total contract (he’ll get close), but I definitely could see him raking in $30 mil plus per season in his first three seasons. I guarantee Harper gets a long deal structured with a high up front with an early opt out to make the AAV more palatable for the team while giving Harper another crack at FA before he turns 30. I can see a 10 year $260 mil contract with the first $105 mil coming in the first 3 seasons with an opt out. The final seven years and $155 mil is an insurance policy against injury or poor production

I never root for any player to become injured.

I scratched my head when Didi was acquired. Other than his speed, I saw no evidence that he could fill Jeter's shoes.

Since then, somewhat like watching Bogey develop, I have watched Didi grow as a player. Last year was possibly a career year. At least as far as I could see from watching him play about 20 games.

This year he slid.

Still, this guy looks like a premier type player.

I can't see the Yankees discarding him. He is worth too much when healthy.

I hope Macholo does not end up in the Bronx. I have enjoyed not watching him play.

Seeing that punk-ass puke in pinstripes will make me puke.

I hope the Yanks get Harper. He'll be your next Ellsury.
