Ad-libbing without Giancarlo Stanton has become as much a part of a Yankee season as, say, Old-Timers’ Day.
Stanton was, actually pre-dating the deadline for Americans to pay their taxes. It marked the fifth straight season he has been put on the list with nine stints in all — the last eight of which have been for a leg malady.
Now, this only works if Volpe and LeMahieu work. Volpe has seemed to shake off his first MLB slump. In the past five games — three of which he led off for the first time in the majors — Volpe was hitting .313 with a .421 slugging percentage and .563 slugging percentage while going 4-for-4 in steals. Are we seeing the emergence of an instant difference-maker?. Can he stay healthy for a full season? Also, LeMahieu is striking out way more than at any time — his 29.
2. If Volpe can go effectively from the bottom to leadoff, the Yankee lineup lengthens at the top, especially if they ever get to full health with Stanton and. That is valuable when the bottom of the lineup feels as if it will be a work in progress from here through the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
