Chipper Jones is hitting fifth between Pujols and Holliday... not a bad spot.
Brian McCann should get in there at some point -- his third consecutive All-Star game. I wonder what Jeff Francoeur thinks of that. By the way, McCann has already equaled last year's homerun total.

Is this the kind of production we should expect from McCann on a yearly basis from now on. He is flashing 30+ homer power with the .300 avg. Is this for real? or is he a 20+ power guy.
by gopherbroke on Jul 15, 2008 7:26 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yes
i would say he is gonna avg out at around 27 a year, he doesnt have Mike Piazza power, so he isnt a 30+ pr 40+ kinda guy. but he has more power potential than 20 a year. He’ll be around 30 every year , but probably never hit more than 35, which isnt a bad thing. but i think he can definately hit 300 consistently

I sense a change in his approach...
maybe it’s confidence that comes from success so far in his young career…maybe it’s urgency to carry a heavier load as a multiple all-star…but for whatever reason Heap is looking ‘go yard’ with at least 1 or 2 swings every AB. Nice result so far eh? Up in homers, and doubles (famous triple), and keeping his BA in tact!

I don’t like any high profile pitcher the yankees have. I do like Ryan Pope, but he would be more of a throw in guy. Phil Coke projects to be a pretty good reliever.
Jesus Montero is by far my favorite Yankee farmhand, his bat is special.
