Serious question. Hopefully for discussion, not trolling or hot takes.

I’ll just look at the main guys.

Judge- when healthy he’s on, hasn’t really gotten worse or better imo. He’s been on a slight slump, but I think he ends the season with a .900+ ops

Gary- 2017 Gary isn’t the real Gary. And that’s okay. He was never a guy who was going to hit for average but his power would make him a great hitter. He’s had huge ups and downs, but I think he’s a .230-.260 hitter with 30+ HRs. Which it seems he may meet this year.

Clint- I blame the FO on this one. He was always good, but was never allowed to grow as a major leaguer, and now it seems like that on top of the new ball completely fucked with him. I also think he puts a lot of pressure on himself to be a star, he just seems like one of those guys.

Andujar- injuries, his hitting style, and the new ball. He had an injury that apparently ends people’s careers. He’s also not an OBP guy so if he’s not hitting, he really can’t do anything else. On top of that he’s playing out of position and isn’t good in his main position anyways.

Gleyber- he was never supposed to be a power guy, so that 2019 season Imo isn’t who he is as a hitter. He’s a mid to low 20s HRs at best, while hitting for contact. He was also out of shape last year and with the new ball, he hasn’t caught a break really(he’s to blame for it a little). I also think the Yankees want him to show off his power, but he’s just not that guy. We’ve all seen him swing out of his shoes, guys like DJ (pure contact guys) don’t do that often. Gleyber imo needs to approach his ABs with a contact first mindset. He was supposed to be a .280+ hitter.

Idk I have faith in Gleyber. And they really need to prioritize Frazier if they want him to get out of the slump. He’s not a sub .200 hitter. The guy was rated higher than judge in the minors. The skill is there, but they need to give him ABs over Andujar and Gardy.
