New Yardbarker Story: Is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. the answer for Yankees' first base woes?
The New York Yankees find themselves in a challenging position at first base, where the recent loss of underperforming Anthony Rizzo has left a void.
Hi, everyone!
Sorry for getting this out so late on the East Coast. I had travel and lots of family time today.
But I’m excited to share my latest piece on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.! I broke down his value on offense and defense and tied that with the latest noise surrounding him and the Yankees.
Is Vlad Jr. a fit for the Bronx?
Read the column and find out!
Thanks!
The Yankees are definitely going to have to add a first baseman with Rizzo down, but I don't see a world where Toronto ships Vladito in-division. Plus, as you pointed out, he's a defensive liability and I wouldn't want to choose to have either him or Giancarlo in the field.
