That IKF segment raised my BP by 20mm Hg at least. Probably the most unforgivable move by Cashman in my memory (even terrible contracts like Jacoby are more forgivable - its only money and we didn't benefit another team by taking their dead money so they could spend it on a probable future HOF for a 1 yr contract that would have perfectly fit our needs). This was a fantastic video as a Yankees fan. I wouldn't have minded more focus on Volpe and Peraza at the end to take the bitter taste out of my mouth, but thought it was an overall great video. Have watched quite a few of your videos over the last few days; I like your style and chosen topics and you have grown a lot from the earlier videos. Keep up the great work; 2023 is going to be an awesome baseball year. I can just feel it. Hope you have some interesting WBC themed content coming up.

[@nomorefielders]

I may do a follow up way down in the future kinda like the “how is their business doing now?” segments you see in Shark Tank. But thank you so much! You actually hit the nail on the head with the next video being on the World Baseball Classic. I appreciate all the support.

[@bmac4]

Just as a minor note, an acronym is when you combine a sequence of letters that stand for something into a sound, like CERN which people often pronounce "Serrn" rather than "Cee Ee Arr En", or UNICEF which people pronounce "Yuu-nih-seff" rather than spelling it out. IKF in this case would be an initialism because you spell his name out rather than saying "Ihkfuh" or something. Anyways, great video! Just commenting for the algorithm gods.

[@codycrossman5791]

So, I'm from California and have family in New England. Definitely not a Yankee fan but I was a ball player and always loved and respected Jeter (for his intangibles more than anything) but I'm actually typing this just to say how much I love that you used that Organized Konfusion joint for the video. They were even better at their shit than Jeter was at his. So dope! ✌️

This reminds me of the Mets current situation at third base, since there was a massive hole when David Wright got hurt/retired (ironically, also after the 2014 season) GREAT stuff on this one. I'll ignore the mistakes, I make enough in my videos as it is.

[@nomorefielders]

Jeter and same conversation Lok

[@bristowski]

This was a great script. My best feedback would be not to be so "on" with the delivery. A lot of the sentences ended with an upward inflection that sounded a bit unnatural. This wasn't present in the quick phone call shots. Just some constructive criticism!

[@jodo4661]

You can replace Jeter’s defense but not his offense

[@DeVoidAS]

I think Historian was blinded by recency bias with Didi's defense as a Yankee, since he's been downright awful at SS since the injury. But considering his DRS numbers ranged from above avg to good (besides 2016) and TZ being just outright good before the injury and even just my memory of him as a good SS having watched Yankee games religiously during that time, I think this video really undermined his performance defensively at SS when he was a really solid one during that time. Ik OAA is another factor too, but it wasn't really all that popular back in those times and the other two Def metrics show that he's good, so that's why I'm disregarding it. Also, Gleyber wasn't a full-time SS till 2020. He only deputised/auditioned for that spot in 2019 since Didi was out. Most of the time he was at 2B

[@nomorefielders]

Honestly, defensive metrics are still a work in progress. There’s so much variability and factors that there really can’t be a defining metric, but that doesn’t mean that each individual one doesn’t have value. Also Gleyber played 77 games at short while playing 65 at second in 2019. I know that it’s barely reaching the minimum to qualify him as a shortstop, but I decided it was a good enough sample to validate the numbers.

[@DeVoidAS]

@@nomorefielders Yea that's fair. It just felt a lil off hearing that he basically took the reigns that early since I remember them making him play there just as a deputy till Didi came back. He also barely played there, if I remember correctly, after Didi came back so I felt like that was sth that was needed. Love the vid though, seeing Didi's highlights crushing the Twins definitely put a large smile on my face 🤣 and the whole timeline after Jeter was really interesting and engaging to watch and reminisce.

People piss and moan about jeters defense (so playing an incredible volume of shortstop during the height of major league offense just when they develop a method of estimating defense means youre the worst shortstop in history, according to people whove never played shortstop professionally) but nuñez was a bit of a butcher the year after. He did hit a bomb in the alcs that year though, he was a decent hitter for a utility piece
