It's not the end of the world with Aaron Judge. Now, we're going to all be skeptical until he comes back. Is he actually going to return in 10 days? And then when he comes back, what is he? Is he the same dominant slugger? Can he play right field? And if he can't play right field, how do you handle Jean-Carlo Stanton? Do you really need to throw him in right field? Who, Jean-Carlo? Yeah. I mean, do you want both of them in the lineup? I mean... That's the question. If the answer is no, then have Stanton as a powerful bat off the bench. Right. I would prefer Stanton in the lineup. That's just me. Would you not? I would, but I think until Aaron, so it's a two-part problem.

0:39.8

One, while Aaron Judge is out, it's easy.

0:42.3

John Carlos Stanton is just a DH.

0:43.8

You play belly and right.

0:44.8

You played Grishman Center.

0:46.3

You played Dominguez and left.

0:47.3

But when Aaron Judge comes back, if he can't throw.

0:52.6

And so he obviously can't play the outfield, you have two DHS, two big DHS that you're stuck with.

0:59.5

Right.

1:00.6

I think it might just be an odd man out thing.

1:03.3

So you would basically have Jean Carlo as this awesome weapon off the bench.

1:07.6

Right.

1:08.0

So Anthony Volpe, late in games, 100%.

1:10.4

Here comes John Carlos Stitt. 100%. Here comes Giancarlo Stan.

1:11.9

100%. Top lefty against Ryan McMahon.

1:14.2

Here comes Jean Carlin.

1:15.2

Especially in the regular, just for the regular season.

1:17.0

Yeah. By the way, it's an option. And it's a really cool weapon to have off one's bench.

1:22.8

I am not as opposed to trying Jean Carlo stand in right field. And I'll tell you why.

1:45.3

There is this misconception about Jean Carlo that if he goes to right field, he's going to get hurt. Well, Sean, you're a Yankee fan-Yanky historian. How many times has Jean-Carlo Stanton gotten hurt playing the field? He hasn't, however. That's what was the question? No, no, no, no. No, the clue. No, no, no. Because this is a loaded question.

1:49.0

He always has these muscle strains, pulls.

1:55.5

How do you know that some of those muscle strains and pulls haven't been affected by previously running down balls in the outfield? You're right, especially because last year, his hamstring strain, when he was slowly jogging around third base, definitely did not happen when he was slowly jogging around third base. And that also didn't play the outfield last year. And that's the other issue. We are now two years of Jean-Carrlo Stanton being slower than ever. And this team's biggest issue has been defense. That's why Jason Dominguez doesn't play every day.
