Soto needs to goto left its plain and simple if resigned with judge in right. Jdom in cf which means, i just dont see how spencer stays. Ben rice can be 1st base slash dh with dj and stanton rotating. Fully expect Vivas or peraza to take over 2nd next yr
i believe if domingues and jones do become LF and CF move judge to 1B and that way you still have left right in the future also lots of prospect in infield that gonna play i believe like they said hal comment are post signing soto not spending a lot on other position and having young guy durbin peraza cabrera competing for second and third will you still have DJ for a few more years
He’s raking AAA so far definitely a September call up. If he keeps that up another month he has to be on major league team with Jones being expendable now that DJ is back. How is Durbin coming along from his injury?
I hope he makes it. Rizzo isn't doing so well now. Rizzo is such a good dude, and I feel dirty talking badly about him. That harmless head shot from Tatis really did some damage to his career. He was killing it last year. I'm rooting for him, but it's a business.
Rooting For Rice to be the heir at 1st Base,, Dominguez LF, Jones CF, Soto/Judge RF-DH Next year and With Stanton showing he has some production left a Team Trades for him in the Offseason 🙏🏽
@@rhysrevan Agree completely but Financially and For Future he will not fit, he makes 7mill and that is going up next year, and he is not a Part Time player needs to be a starter,so he would be blocking the Youth movement
Yankees have a few catchers that can't catch, Wells has improved a lot so he'll probably stick there. I think the future of 1B will be a battle between Rice and Ramirez. Once Stanton is off the team, Judge can be OF/DH even though he's a terrific fielder.
I hear what you both are saying, but the offensive upside is there putting in Jason over Rizzo into the lineup. Plus Rizzo isn’t even good defensively anymore so there won’t be a drop off there
I think people ignore how good Berti is..the guy hit like .280 last year and can steal bases...having him and Oswaldo at 3rd opens up DJL to play first...that is if you have confidence b DJL ....I would love to see Rice but pushing Rizzo out?...not the Yankees way...now trade for a guy..the Yankees way!
I absolutely love having Alex V. in left field. If that's what you're talking about. He's a major reason for the Yankees improvement this year. But he's on a one year rental. The Yankees owner already said he's cutting costs to the payroll. & Soto will hopefully & probably remain a Yankees. Not to mention the Yankees haven't moved back up Jason Dominguez from the minor leagues. Who was more than ready to return before he got hurt again.
Ryan, I like you but why do you always like never mentioned or like to mention Lalani? Why? Does he not remind you of the big unit Randy Johnson? Rice, Lalani, Hampton, Spencer and Vivas are our future.
Love how Rice is playing, but I see Judge moving to 1st, with Soto (hopefully), Dominguez, and Jones in the outfield. Start working Rice at 3rd. Yes, I’m greedy.
We are told that Rice is an excellent athlete. If he can play catcher and 1B, is it possible he can play 3B? That move would really help the franchise.
Ryan, Great work youngbuck! I personally LOVE Ben Rice and I am very excited to see what he does at AAA. Keep up the great work!
stories about guys overcoming are always great
Thank you. Great video and he was great last night. I am a fan!
It would be nice if an in home player is able to take over 1st base.Rizzo is really showing his age both offensively and defensively.
Thanks ! For the good news about Ben !
Hopefully he doesnt turn out to be like Bird. Over aged, flew under the radar, big lefty bat. We have heard of this before
Bird wasnt overaged in 2015
@@j.s3300 I think you're right but still reminds me of Bird the way he forced himself as a top prospect
Something about his swing reminds me of Jim Thome.
UPDATE !!! Today is his MLB DEBUT !!!!
If he replaces Rizzo, it wont be until 2025. Barring injury of course. A lefty swinging 1st baseman is a must at Yank Stadium.
Looks like they definitely have some depth at the catching position.If they all can play first base also it would be a great asset.
He definitely is the future 1b for now lol
Soto needs to goto left its plain and simple if resigned with judge in right.
Jdom in cf which means, i just dont see how spencer stays.

I would like to see the yanks save 5 or 7 years on judges body. They would be able to do this by putting judge at 1st
I’m 100% with you, if Rizzo slumps all the way to August I’d put Judge at first and call up The Martian to play center field
I agree. I think he would make a very good 1B and save miles of usage on his body.
Has he ever played first?
Next year we could Have Soto/Judge share RF DH, mostly Soto in RF since he is younger and that would save wear and tear on Judge as well
@@JoseMedina-oc2ndStanton will still be on the roster and the teams DH

All in all, he resembles a Tino Martinez type player who could be more than adequate playing first base.
Yankees have a few catchers that can't catch, Wells has improved a lot so he'll probably stick there. I think the future of 1B will be a battle between Rice and Ramirez. Once Stanton is off the team, Judge can be OF/DH even though he's a terrific fielder.
1B is the question. I don’t know if Rice is the answer but something has to be done.
CALL HIM UP NOW!
Need to station Judge at 1st next year. Start trying Rice and Rameirez at 3rd.
His bat speed is gone he hit week ground balls and infield pop ups. His velo is in the 80’s that’s not a slump
If Rizzo slumps all the way to August I’d put Judge at first and call up The Martian to play center field
Idk, he's one of the better OFers in baseball, especially right. But yea, Soto prob won't want to play 1B lol.
Judges defensive prowess is in the OF. THE D won't translate to 1st base. It's a different animal.
I hear what you both are saying, but the offensive upside is there putting in Jason over Rizzo into the lineup. Plus Rizzo isn’t even good defensively anymore so there won’t be a drop off there
I think verdugo will wait to see who Soto signs with 1st
Wearing the number 4 too….Lou Gehrig???
I think people ignore how good Berti is..the guy hit like .280 last year and can steal bases...having him and Oswaldo at 3rd opens up DJL to play first...that is if you have confidence b DJL ....I would love to see Rice but pushing Rizzo out?...not the Yankees way...now trade for a guy..the Yankees way!
I know there is no way Yankees will let Clay Holmes go and go to another team
Call him up already ffs! Rizzo is shitting the bed.
Yanks are clearly concerned about Rizzo.
No way ,we have a good left fielder now
I absolutely love having Alex V. in left field. If that's what you're talking about. He's a major reason for the Yankees improvement this year. But he's on a one year rental.

@firesideyankees Ryan Garcia Ben Rice could be the future first baseman for the Yankees with Anthony Rizzo time being a Yankees will be over soon
2:09
Who’s here after his 3 hr day??
He just hit 3 homer's in a game.
Keep in mind Ben was catching Tues night
Is this a shot at Rizzo 😂
Ryan, I like you but why do you always like never mentioned or like to mention Lalani? Why? Does he not remind you of the big unit Randy Johnson? Rice, Lalani, Hampton, Spencer and Vivas are our future.
KEEP HOLMES!
Bye Rizz.
Stop Rice is old for AA. Not a top prospect.
Love how Rice is playing, but I see Judge moving to 1st, with Soto (hopefully), Dominguez, and Jones in the outfield. Start working Rice at 3rd. Yes, I’m greedy.

Got to get rid of rally killer stanton too
Future is now , I've had enough of useless rizzo
