Ji-Man's a Yankee

I was surprised by this - I thought the Angels signed him.

I predict he hits .270/.360/.430 with 10 HR for the Yankees in 350 PA.

Short right field porch so he automatically becomes Reggie Jackson. He's a backup plan to Greg Bird and Tyler Austin.

How does he scratch .270 when that was barely his OBP the entire time he was an Angel.

He had a great opportunity when Cron went down with the injury....didn't do much to put himself in the mix.....when you're 26, opportunities aren't endless...

I was joking, although you realize that he's only had 129 PA in the majors?

I do think he has the potential to reach those numbers I mention. Like most players, he needs consistent playing time to reach his potential. I don't think he'll be a regular, but he could be a decent platoon player for a few years.

Because Angels.

I don't think we will miss him at all.  That being said, I wish him the best.

Peanuts are pretty filthy by the time they work through this organization.
