FINALLY A GREAT LINEUP! How Would I Have Done It?

FINALLY! Yankees manager Aaron Boone put out a great, GREAT lineup today. I would’ve changed it a little bit though.

Here’s the lineup:

I absolutely love it.. There’s no hole for Snell to aim at. HOWEVER… As I said I would have done it a bit different…

Like this:

1. 2B DJ LeMahieu
2. RF Aaron Judge
3. 1B Mike Ford
4. DH Giancarlo Stanton
5. 3B Gio Urshella
6. LF Mike Tauchman
7. C Gary Sanchez
8. SS Gleyber Torres
9. CF Aaron Hicks

You may say but putting Mike Ford in gives Snell a lefty-Lefty advantage BUT…. Ford hits lefties very well. It keeps Snell a bit off balance AND… Voit had a 0-4 day Yesterday and thus should get a day off.

I lower Hicks and Torres to take pressure completely off while giving Stanton all kinds of protection.

My 1-9 could not be better here.

I love Boone’s but he could’ve done a bit better.

I am just so happy Boone finally put out a real lineup. May the bum Gardner be be benched for life now!
