He won't play first. defensive liability at 3B, Drury, Torres, Trade, in front of him. I think he is 4th in line. He will get a few spot starts at DH and 3B Maybe the Yankees (I sure hope not) might have another Jesus Montero in Andujar. A great minor league hitter who can’t field Link to post Share on other sites

My guess he will be used as a trade chip for an SP Much like Montero got us Pineda. Link to post Share on other sites

Drury has been pretty solid so far, but his batting average has been rapidly dropping. He also has a couple of errors already at 3B. If he starts to stink it up then they can send him down and call up Andujar. Torres is seen as their future 2B so he's notonly ahead of Andujar for 3B. It will definitely be a bit before Andujar becomes relevant if at all. Could be traded at the deadline and start for another team but thats a while away. They signed Neil Walker who is more versatile. Lind didn't do that great in ST either. I don’t know .. but I have to believe no way Brandon Drury will be sent to the minors Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose that could change eventually, but I think they currently view him as almost untouchable. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd 'hold the line" for Cole too. Not trading him for Cole is FAR from assuming he is untouchable. As a yankee fan I didn't want Cole. Not for my #5 starter. Montgomery is better.

And Andujar clearly has a position, which is where he's starting at today. Advanced scouts say his defense is ready now and he'll be an average defender. No comparison to Jesus Montero.

Dude can hit. Did you really want Cole? Did I? Absolutely. But regardless of what I think, my point is the facts known to us directly contradict your opinion. And saying it’s “VERY obvious” that he’s “very touchable” despite the fact that Cashman wasn’t willing to part with him for a pitcher he has been trying to acquire since college really flies in the face of reason. But having established that this is only your opinion, I can just say that I respectfully disagree with you. Link to post Share on other sites
