Andujar to be Yankee 3b

[jacksonianmarch]

News from Olney. Yanks are going to give 3b to Andujar and let 2019 be his proving ground. If he flounders defensively, then they’ll have Arenado and Rendon on the market next year to turn to if needed

The best way to go, they need to let him grow as a player, if not there's always 1B. His bat is for real, so let's see if he can become an adequate fielder

LOLOLOLOL

 

Just like how Machado and Harper are "on the market" for them this year. Hal ain't paying those guys to play 3b you goober.

I hope he can at least become a below average defender at third. Presently he's gotta be the worst in baseball.

-15.5 dWAR isn't great. 2nd worst was -7.5 for Solarte.

 

IMO, he'll be fine. Just gotta take your lumps for the first few years.

Andujar's issue isn't quickness, hands or arm strength. His weakness is between his ears and in his arm accuracy. He has an absolute cannon, but he seems to misfire on routine plays. He also has been known to charge balls he shouldn't or sit back on balls he should charge. The latter parts will come with experience. If he cannot get his accuracy down, though, he wont last there.
