Welcome back to the Yankees 2018 Talking Yanks Podcast Player, Profile and Projection.

Today's episode we are talking about Austin Romine, the backup catcher Gary Sanchez's

Leaf. He will be the backup catcher this year. Jake, thoughts on Romine. Try your

hardest to do your best if we see you on the field a lot. Like that's a bad thing.

Don't lose the game. When you're in there, you don't have to win the game. You

don't have to win the game. But don't lose the game for us because that's a

problem. Just be serviceable. Maybe get one hit. Keep the bad average decent. And

yeah, once a week, be a good catcher. Give Gary rest. If the fight happens, you

can do that again. That was fun. Yes, huge in fights. Bulldog, keep the club

house loose. The guys like them. Just don't ruin games when you're in the

games. I don't want this to be my bench player, Profile,

Projection. Thank you. But do you know how many games Romine played in last year?

Well, he Gary missed three weeks to four weeks. I would guess he played in 80

games. 80 games on the nose. Yeah. No, I'm glad he played. I watched every single

game last season, Jake. You did. And I also have the memory of an elephant. Is

that not kind of surprising? No, Austin Romine played in half the games. Again,

a catcher gets a lot of cheap late substitutions too. But we had no first

base. He played a couple. He had a handful of starts at first. He supposedly

loved in the dugout. He's 29. I thought he was a little younger than that. I mean,

former big time Yankees prospect that didn't happen. But we're glad you're

here. Yankees have one thing. Yankees had the best catching prospects ever.
