He's been a beast. xwOBA: .424 wOBA: .392 He'd be a real good candidate to throw a low extension number at.

Velocity is still down after his DL stint... changeup is not playing up as much He needs some Don Cooper juice

His stats are fine but his stuff does not look the same to me this year. Seems like he is missing his location and hanging a lot of sliders.

Our ace started the season off the right way. Can't wait to see what this year brings for him.

Jacoby Ellsbury - hip issue (strange, but better on the DL than anything else) Greg Bird - surgery on bone spur in foot (unlucky feet I guess and not enough time watching Happy Feet) Aaron Hicks - Grade 1 Strain on Intercostal Muscle (working out too hard) Clint Frazier - concussion (can't play a wall) Billy McKinney - shoulder sprain (can't play a wall) Other: Yankee Bullpen: Strained Left Brain Receptacle

After a mediocre regular season last year, Tanaka showed us exactly what he's capable of in the post-season and delivered some absolute masterful performances. Tonight he picked up exactly where he left off again Houston in the ALCS. Took him a few innings to warm up but my god was he dealing. Hopefully he can stay healthy and keep it up for the rest of the season :)

My guess is none of these got enough innings in Spring Training. The org wanted to take it slow due to the postseason workload. I think what's being experienced early in the season is a result of that.

In all the excitement over Didi's 8 RBI and Giancarlo's 5 Ks, let's not forget that our sparkplug sparked today ... He was on base three times and scored three of those runs Didi batted in. :) Oh, and he also had an outfield assist. About time he had a thread of his own!

Love Jordy. It's just a matter of him throwing strikes and not getting behind guys. His offspeed is special. Such very dumb pitch selection at times.

He was activated from the disabled list, and I don't see a topic for him.

I’m worried after the workload last postseason. 2 games and no Ks is extremely rare for him.

Currently stroking to a .429 BA with a 1.000 OPS, Toe has been underused thus far this season. Given the weak bat that Wade and, to a lesser extent, Andujar have displayed to date, Toe needs to get more love - and more time in the lineup.
