Mid-season note to fans of other teams on their ex-players playing in NY. Not trolling, just an opinion on me loving or not loving them.
Matt Carpenter, Cards - Already posted in the Cardinals thread that I LOVE this guy. How can a Yankee fan not love him, He's been an unexpected super-find after looking to be washed up and done with everyone passing on him.
Anthony Rizzo, Cubs - Duh, love him. Batting average is low but plays great 1st base and been huge in the clutch with 22 HR and 57 RBI. I don't follow the NL but get now why my Cub fan farmer buddy in Iowa loves him.
Joey Gallo, Rangers - Woof. Feel bad for him. He's just sucked at the plate since coming to NY. Outstanding outfield play but you can't carry a designated fielder. Will be pretty surprised if he is on Yank roster come August. Great haircut.
Jose Trevino, Rangers - Love him. Been terrific with the staff and hitting better than expected. Fit = 100%. By all accounts an awesome guy in the clubhouse.
Josh Donaldson, Twins - Guy's an *******, which I knew already. Been playing a really good 3rd base. Hitting just well enough. Still an ******* but can't complain too much about his on field play.
