Yankees Captain Aaron Judge Shares Sage Advice for Struggling $325M Star Amidst Widespread 2023 Disappointment: ”If We Give Him…”

After the catastrophic failure, the New York Yankees caption has set out on a mission to bring back the lost glory. The team has several issues to address in different aspects and the Captain is determined to fix them all. Be it the team’s management or players, Aaron Judge is actively exploring potential solutions. After his ideas on different solutions for team management, the player finally steps forward to address another vital issue that cost them a lot this season. 

Giancarlo Stanton was a potential deal for the Yankees that they cracked with The Miami Marlins. However, the management never thought it would fail so pathetically. Amidst the broken situation of the team, the $325M star failed throughout the season. However, the captain still believes in his potential. He suggested some possible fixes to The Athletic that he expects will improve the player’s performance.

Aaron Judge’s Possible Fixes for Giancarlo Stanton

Since the Yankees’ October doors got shut, their Captain addressed several issues, and he even expressed his intentions to sit with the authorities and discuss. In most cases, he never really opened up about his ideas. But Stanton’s case is different. The captain openly shared what he is planning for the star outfielder. Judge explained, “I think if we give him the chance to just keep him in the outfield a little bit longer, keep him moving, that’s the biggest thing,” 

Further, he addressed his experience as a DH to elaborate his point. The star slugger said, “It’s tough to go from just kind of sitting on the bench to hitting. You’re really not in the game as much as you are when you’re playing defense. I think if there’s a way we can find a way to mix him in the outfield a little bit more, keep him moving, that’ll help him out.” Well, Stanton probably really needs this help, as if not for Carlos Rodon, he would be the most disappointing player of the season.

Throughout the season, he appeared for 101 games and has a .695 OPS. Though he has 24 Home Runs in his passion, they still can’t make up for his poor .191 batting average. Also, Stanton’s OPS has been continuing going downward for the last three seasons. However, Stanton’s poor performance not only attracted fixes from Aaron Judge, but another former Yankees player shared his views on him.

A 5X World Series Champion Player Talked About His Observation on Stanton

Well, we are talking about David Cone. The retired player had played in different teams and observed several players. So, when he watched Stanton’s playing style, he had his observations on him. During an interview, the former Mets player stated the Yankees outfielder’s positioning of his lower body is a great problem. The 33-year-old player runs slowly as he tries to prevent injuries. Another observation that the former player landed is, “Giancarlo Stanton needs to be a guy that if you throw a first-pitch fastball to, he’s gonna murder it.” However, to reach the point the outfielder needs to go through improvements.
