this defensive alignment i'm okay with i understand Yankees stadium LF is tough to play in but Dominguez has the speed and athletic ability to handle the position. and i like the Yankees challenging the kid to get better there. if not then you can always put Bellinger out there but right now it's Dominguez opportunity to grab the position and roll with it he can do it.

[@mrking1785]

Why not put him in a position he’s comfortable in and gain confidence.

[@CMac3]

@@mrking1785b/c that would b the logical thing to do. Yankees like to make things difficult 👍

[@newsflash7718]

Dominguez just needs reps in LF. Let him play it every day, and I bet he ends up pretty good at it.

[@Angelo_Productions]

Yankees need a real 2B/3B

[@kashhill1953]

We literally have one😂

[@briancc9990]

Who is jazz 😂??

[@briancc9990]

Jazz going 30/30

[@StrongholdLament]

Jazz sucks at 2B. He belongs in the OF. He wasn’t even that bad at 3B either.

[@elishevajones6730]

Yankees need to fix their defensive approach! Need to focus on the little details of defensive baseball.

[@Grandmaster_1776]

Not a thing under Boone

[@jesussantos5267]

I wish the Yankees would trade for King

[@hugovalentincounseling]

My approach would be to coach the Martian without being overly critical and he will definitely learn and mature. On the other hand, if the coaching staff starts being too negative about his defense, the hitting will suffer and we will have another failed-sure-thing in our hands...

[@AL__EX]

not sold on Oswaldo as the everyday 3B. solid backup for sure, but the offensive numbers are subpar imo.

[@doniezzi6474]

He may do better given a chance to pay regularly at one position

[@MrNaturalSez]

82-80... again. All Rise!

[@toomuchsalt13]

Dude on the right mumbles a lot 😂

[@cuzzicfc]

Dj is playing 3B

[@mikeh1727]

Yankees hitting may be a bit worse this year but we should have better pitching and much better defense. Judge moving from CF back to RF will be huge. He was adequate in center but he’s elite in RF. I love Torres but he was a defensive liability so losing him is a defensive upgrade. Rizzo has been an amazing defensively over his career but was much worse last year. Goldy should be a defensive upgrade. Moving Jazz back to 2B should also help.

[@JustinJackson-gh7br]

When did the Yankees get Paul Goldschmidt

[@bigpictureguys8415]

I get it’s fun but there’s no reason to get too into this alignment right now. They’re going to make moves at the deadline. They clearly think they’re good enough in a weak AL to be in a great spot come deadline then reevaluate

[@RuckUpButtercup_1]

The Yankees NEED TO GET A 3RD OR 2ND BASEMAN! Oswaldo Peraza should NOT be any everyday starter on this team!

[@Christian-m1y1y]

Yanks love playing guys out of position.

[@urbangorilla33]

Square pegs in round holes.

[@MrNaturalSez]

Eight designated hitters in the lineup and seven have to play a position in the field.

[@urbangorilla33]

@@MrNaturalSez Goldschmidt (4 GG), Volpe (1 GG), Bellinger (1 GG), Judge and Wells are all plus defenders, Jazz and Oswaldo are both solid as well.

[@StrongholdLament]

@@urbangorilla33jazz is pretty bad at 2B. Worried he’s gonna get hurt playing there

[@AntonioUrbano]

Didn’t see Dominguez that much last year, but if he’s a natural CF, why not start him there and move Cody to LF?

[@steffen2165]

Because Cody is really good in center and Dominguez is young enough to play there. He’s played left before as well

[@mrking1785]

@@steffen2165Cody is really good everywhere in the OF.

[@fridaysatjons1097]

This team is a joke.

[@GHKim-bo9mf]

Unfortunately, 2025 World Series will have the Dodgers SWEEP the Yankees 😢😮
