“Well it’s not what you want” – Joe Girardi
(For those who don’t get it, he’s basically said this after every loss, injury, etc)

They’ll miss his,1-14 start at the plate.

thegreatcerealfamine
Yea those are the kind of totals to base a whole season on!
MB923
Lmao. Yeah just like the Nats will miss Turner’s 2-18 or the Cubs will miss Bryant’s 1-19 if they got injured.
SamFuldsFive
Congrats, you got the joke.

A very poor one if it was.

Well going back to end of last August, Gary Johnny Bench Sanchez has hit .205/.287/.489 with a 93 wRC+. His offense hasn’t been around for a lot longer than those last 14 or so at bats.
MB923
I’m not exactly sure how “end of last August” is defined, but from September 1st of last year through today’s exact date as of this post (4/8), he actually has a wRC+ of 117. which ranks 4th in all of baseball among qualified Catchers. That wRC+ of 117 ranks far ahead of Xander “Honus Wagner” Bogaerts wRC+ of 99.

Was a little off on the exact numbers, but wasn’t too far off. That is 33-35 games. Far bigger sample of him being a mediocre player than him being the megastud player he was for 20 or so games in the summer.
MB923
Ahhh. I see the problem. You’re link has every one of his AB (which is at Catcher and DH, a much better sample I will credit you for) whereas the one I had listed Catchers only, which I assume excluded his games in September where he was a DH.

He surely won’t be the same “mega stud” player he was last season, but the Yankees are still counting on him to be a well-above-average catcher. I fully expect him to be a top-5, or worst case, a top-10 catcher on a yearly basis (assuming he stays healthy), but by no means do I think he’s on the same level as guys like Posey or Lucroy yet, especially because of the fact that he’s largely unproven in terms of how well he will be able to sustain his success. Either way, losing him for any period of time hurts the Yankees.

Man I drafted him smh of course this would happend, also Nelson Cruz smh I’m a jinx

And there goes half the USA’s MVP prediction for the AL
MB923
I’m pretty sure he’s making a joke. There’s no way the MVP race will be Trout and Sanchez. Maybe Trout and Miggy or Trout and Betts once again.
MB923
Completely agree redsfan48
Priggs89
Last time I checked, Mike Trout was still in the AL. If half the USA predicted Sanchez would win the AL MVP, this country is a lot dumber than I thought.

After November, are you really surprised?
halofan20
Ditto
kvick11
Yeah, I can’t believe people are dumb enough to vote for Hillary.
callmemabry
The Yankees could really use a guy like Brian McCann right now.
ugenz
That’s the trouble with young catchers. You never know if they have what it takes to stick the ball. I mean stick around,
timyanks
writing that sanchez won’t be able to replicate those numbers is like saying you’ll never write an article as good as this one. sarcasm noted.
