All right, it's July 16th. It's the All Star break. We're one half of baseball

completed. So we're going to do some first half grades. We've got the whole crew here. It's me, Jake, Adam, John, Max, Rob. I read you guys in order of my screen. So there we go. We'll introduce everyone as we go. How this is going to work is we're going to talk about a player.

We're going to give them a grade out of 10 and then we'll accumulate the average talking Yanks grade. That's the official talking Yanks stamp of approval. Great.

Should I do the intro song for even this episode? Jake? Okay, we're doing it. Let's talk Yanks.

Talk Yanks. Oh, John boy. John boy. Jake.

What's up, everybody? I guess we'll go around the room. We got let's go Adam first. Adam's been on the show before. What's up, guys? Coming to you live from spring lake, New Jersey. Some of you.

Nice. I'm a new jersey for the summer as well. Hell yeah. All right. Adam, favorite past player, favorite current player and

braid of the first half so far. What do you got?

Favorite past player was probably Jorge Posada. Big catcher back in the day.

So I was always gravitated to him. Favorite current player is Gary Sanchez. El Gary. Got to love Teddy Bear gear.

And my grade for the first half of the season will go B plus. All right. We're going to skip Jake. Go to John. He writes our daily recap.

StockinX.com. So guys, John aka Johnny Pinschripes. Follow me on Twitter. I am reporting live from the city itself, New York, Lower Manhattan.

I think you're our only local. I think we're all transplants. Well, I'm actually not originally from Florida, but transplanted here now.

Well, I got families families originally from up here. Favorite past Yankee, easily direct jitter, favorite current judge and I'll give a B plus as well. I think that's right.

All right. Next max got breaking news and roster moves rights on talking to you. How you doing, Max?

So first time long time, Jim. So favorite past time, Yanke. Yeah. So go oldest, current and grade on the season. John, did you give you a grade for the season?

It would be plus. I did. He was. He was. Max. What do you got?

I was a Gianby kid. Always loves somebody who can skirt the facial hair rules just because of the sheer amount of HGH running through their system.

I think I'm full on flavor. I'm team glaibs. Wow. Quick. Yeah. Yeah. I'm bought in. All right.

25 and I'm going to give it a. Okay. Wow. There you go. That's the highest grade yet. Jake didn't get to grade Rob. You're up next. Rob writes. He does some stats. He did it. Does Tanaka actually better on Tuesday, which not a good result.

You're not. No, not better on Tuesday. My name's Rob. I'm from Fayetteville, Arkansas. I used to live in the Chicago area. Family ties to New York. See, favorite past Yankee.

Obviously a rod. Favorite player ever. And currently probably D. D. Grogorius. Just I like the way he plays the game has fun with it and everything like that.
