Designated Spittaz: The Yankees Are Interested in Luis Arraez

[@siediousswift8088]

I think making it to the World Series really blinded allot folks to how many runners were left on base this year. I remember that was an issue all year and even in the postseason. This team needs hitters that hit for average more than they do home runs.

[@LowLeyeF311]

we need a balanced lineup.. a few sluggers a couple speedsters and a lotta hittaz

[@fire_watch7735]

I’d take a 27year old .300 avg.++, 200 hits, and a perennial batting title contender every year any day of the week. Fike these analytics clowns🤡 Strikeouts kill rallies and don’t tell me walks are the same as hits, hits put pressure on defences and move runners from station to station. Old time baseball where average mattered, stolen bases, fundamentals and defence over strictly WAR and OBP was way better. Exactly, Gallo, Dunn, etc. are not the same as guys that can actually hit the ball and put it in to play.

[@LuisDiaz-lb5mc]

Remember when the Yankees had Wade Boggs a slow, contact and left handed hitter?

[@BigLouNYSportz]

@@LuisDiaz-lb5mc I loved Boggs like the other, but it’s different times..I’m not bashing Arreaz but why has he bounced around?? Why is no one trying to pay the man??

[@bradpotter3197]

Yea, what’s your point the dude at least played defense…..

[@bradpotter3197]

@@BigLouNYSportzterrible defensive player.

[@BigLouNYSportz]

@@bradpotter3197 Agreed bro..but our fellow folks in here are only seeing what his slow tail provides with getting on base..If we were gonna turn around and be interested in this guy, then we should have kept Gleybs 🤷🏾‍♂️

3:38 I'm on it Francis. I'm also a rookie. But I vote for Uncle Dom

[@marcosc7375]

Chuck Knoblauch was a typical leadoff hitter we had. His defense was awful. But his hitting was clutch as can be. And he averaged 10 homers a season…ironically he had his highest average of homers while with the Yankees. But again he was brought here at the time for his steady left handed lead off hitting. So yes bring me Arraez.

[@jaredfreeley8283]

He was a righty

[@marcosc7375]

@ you are right I messed up on that part. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

[@terryedwards5629]

Lux gone get arreoz now

[@Carlostheyankeefan]

I thought Francis has a turban lol

[@melany_7melania]

I'm I the only here to say give peraza a fair shot? Instead of looking outside the organization ?

[@TRivera13]

@@melany_7melania He would have to bat .600 in Spring Training just to get a look from the Front Office.

[@BigLouNYSportz]

We go all off season with run prevention in mind. We let Gleyb’s go for it just to bring back the same lackluster Defense and slow base running? Kind of contradicting, no?

[@TRivera13]

Leadoff hitter with Bellinger and Judge behind him. He doesn't need to be a great baserunner if he's jogging. The defense at 2nd leaves a lot to be desired. But putting him at 3rd? Yanks could live with that.

[@BigLouNYSportz]

@ you say putting him at 3rd? Last year they were trying to hide him at 1B or DH in order to diminish or lessen the blow with his field play..Listen, he would be better than what we have now. So I’d be good with it. I’m simply saying that we can’t go in a direction and state that we would like to get more athletic and make the moves we have made (depicting run prevention) to contradict that with Arreaz was all I was saying

[@TRivera13]

@BigLouNYSportz With their abundance of Shortstops the Padres didn't need to put Arraez anywhere but 1st. The Yanks still need another bat, and a bonafied leadoff hitter. Arraez fills both of those needs. I'm content with letting the kids in the system compete in Spring Training. But not convinced they would get a fair look from the Front Office unless one of them is scorching hot.

[@BigLouNYSportz]

@@TRivera13 All good B..Hopefully the Sasaki decision in a couple weeks clears things up

[@LowLeyeF311]

even Aaron judge and Freddie freeman need to train and practice , maybe some coaching can help judge in the post

[@pabblo101]

Thank god Gavin Lux isn't an option, career .252 hitter is trash.

[@thealternative9580]

His defense is poor at 2b.

[@annoyingrat3710]

Forget BA is king, singles are so much better than walks… if Arraez hits a single, 6 of the other 8 players score from second… they couldn’t if a walk was drawn

[@jaredfreeley8283]

Bellinger is not as much power as Soto geez
