Message: [QUOTE="RoofBeam, post: 4413469, member: 4108"] If they sign Judge, who may turn out to have an unfortunate aversion to October, it is not clear the Yankees will be able to field a championship-caliber team while retaining other unfortunate contracts, Stanton's among them. I think there is a big enough sample size to determine that Judge and Stanton don't work together in the same lineup in a reliable way and their combined production, especially against excellent pitchers in big games, would not justify their cost.... unless some of the younger, much cheaper players really have a major impact and this would require that Steinbrenner and Cashman, assuming he is retained, change their strategy about committing to youth (when not absolutely forced to by circumstances). I love Judge but I think it would be best for the team to let him walk if they can't get rid of Stanton's contract along with either Hicks' or Donaldson's. [/QUOTE]
