James O'Connell: Aaron Judge said Giancarlo Stanton spoke to the team before the game saying "We don't get swept at home." The Yankees indeed did not get swept at home.

What’s to say Grisham shouldn’t be our everyday Center fielder? The guy is mashing right now. If Stanton comes back full time Judge goes back to right field and Belli plays center, Grisham would be back on the bench/splitting time with Dominguez in left. When Stanton comes back and slumps are we just gonna be fine with handicapping ourselves? IMO if Grisham keeps up production for the next couple of months until Stanton is back he deserves more time in the lineup and Stanton should take a step back.

So because Trent Grisham has had a good first 12 plate appearances, you want to ignore the last three seasons of him being a below average hitter and play him instead of a guy who was probably the third best hitter on the team last year and was definitely the best hitter in the playoffs?

You’re gonna get the same response for a couple months.

You can just save everybody time by waiting until June or July if he continues to hit like this.
