Boone will send him back down when Rizzo is ready to return.

[@jackiechanza8230]

@@frankgraham1996 I really hope not. I love rizzo, but he clearly isn’t the same player as he once was. It’s time to move on at let Rice take the role as our starting 1B. It’s also not Aaron’s decision to make, it’s Cashmans. Boone certainly has a say, but it would ultimately be cashmans verdict.

[@JaredHettler]

This kid just stole the 1st basemen job. He is the real deal. Very good approach at the plate. Has power but doesn't try to abuse it. Stays within himself and has a short, quick, compact swing. Hits it where its pitched. Really excited to see him long term

[@CaliDBan]

@@quinnvolk GO AWAY.

[@JaredHettler]

​@@quinnvolk Boone makes some really questionable decisions for sure. But I'd like to think that this kid has been undeniable. I can't imagine Rizzo who was struggling to hit .220 will just waltz back into being the everyday 1st baseman.

[@snerdterguson]

Good Lord, the kids started all but two games he was on the active roster for. He's hitting under .150 against lefties and you're acting like that's the worst thing ever. If Rice suddenly has a bad week, you'll be here complaining about how Boone keeps playing him.

[@robotbro7187]

will have to see if he can hit lefties, hes always struggled vs them even in the minors

[@vmi4172]

Aaron Boonehead Is absolutely gonna platoon him

[@claudiodavis-acosta8315]

​@robotbro7187 That is absolutely false. Where do you get this information. Did you watch the game and did you hear what O'NEIL had to say about his ability to hit lefties. Plus did he not have one of his three home runs against a lefty?

[@snerdterguson]

This is absolutely true. He has historically struggled against lefties. And this season he was batting .143 against lefties coming into the game. The fact one of his homers came off a lefty doesn't negate his entire history. It isn't like he said he never could hit lefties in the future. He said we will have to see if he can.

[@unclonedcapone7138]

Just remember the Yankees analytic nerds( cough cough Fischman) thought he needed to be platooned with J.D. Davis.

[@snuke37]

To be fair, he likely will end up in a platoon. Despite an amazing start, adjustments will be made by opposing pitchers as the scouting reports change. He will have to adapt as the league does. You can't expect him to not go through some regression going forward.

[@snerdterguson]

I mean, he was batting .143 against lefties and historically he hasn't hit them well in the minors. While JD Davis was essentially a cost free acquisition who hits mid .260s against lefties in his career. It was a sensible pickup. I'm not sure why people are complaining about it like he's hogged at bats. Rice has been on the active roster for 19 games and started 17 of them.

[@MontanaFree]

[@slickdog78]

You'd be a good fit for the Yankees front office cause you wanna run this team into the ground just as much as they do. Rizzo is fine. (.223, 8HR, 26 RBI) Either way, there are others who need to go first. Grisham and Smith for starters. I would get rid of LeMahieu and even Torres before Rizzo.
