Volpe is very much in the running to make the opening day roster yet Dominguez who is hitting better and facing the same pitching is not ready in a position we are dying to fill with “premium” talent
The Yankees aren’t going to rush a kid that’s mainly played in the low minors in his few years of pro ball. Imagine if he starts this year at AA and continues to rake, that they’ll keep moving him up.
Wandy is Wandy. Career year last year, expect a regression. He'll probably settle in and be his serviceable self in certain lanes. The offseason talk of him being in the mix for closer was always nonsense.
Regression to what? Over the last 3 years, he's thrown 134 innings with a 3.07 ERA (135 ERA+). Since coming to the Yankees, it's 99 innings with a 2.82 ERA (145 ERA+), split into a 146 ERA+ in 2021 and 144 in 2022.
He was never going to be the closer because he's the only lefty, but he's been a very good reliever for several years now. Why are we expecting anything but that?

Volpe's probably started like 3 times as many games so nah they really haven't faced the same pitching

Dominguez has played like 20 games at AA
Twenty more should be enough then. If he keeps hammering it, he ought to be in AAA very soon.
Ozzie and Waldo make me a little nervous offensively, and because of that I think the opening day lineup could be a toss up
I’m kind of not worried about Waldo. Dude’s gonna hit.
I hope you’re right. Love to root for the kid
5 perfect innings from Clarke lol
This loss was disgraceful 5-0 after 5! Pitiful
Cuncel da season
Nice start from Schmidt.
Jasson Dominguez
.455
Is Wandy ok?

What do we need to know?
David Ortiz did steroids
Dominguez should be the starting in center field. 🙃
And apparently the Yanks are blind to the truth
A lot of fans too. They think he needs more seasoning. Wouldn’t matter if he was hitting .455/.520/1.045…
