Nice, I almost bought a Torres auto when he was slumping but thought he would get traded.

It was nice to see him, reminded me of when the Yankees were top dog.

If this team could clone todays performance the division would be theirs easily.

And who's gong to play 3rd? The light hitting Cabrera? The IL Peraza?

I don’t care anybody else, I guess I haven’t made it clear enough I don’t really like Lemahieu on this team.

What’s funny is I thought their farm system was barren of good players but I guess I haven’t followed them closely enough.

[spuds1961]

I definitely can’t get a read on this years team, when they are running on all cylinders like yesterdays game I think hey they might be really good, then I look at the day before when they gave up 9 runs in the first inning. I always take spring training with a grain of salt but seeing some of the younger players has me thinking as long as they don’t do anything stupid the future looks bright.

[fulltritty]

Looks like they took today off.

That’s good less chance of injury.

Just as long as they are not driving cars, riding motorcycles, playing basketball, sneezing.

It is amazing how the Rays seem to have a never ending supply of pitching that they can bring up and they seem to do okay.

Road to Opening Day is online.

Auto checklist has a chance at Judge, Soto, Wells, Volpe, and Dominguez.

I bought my usual set. No checklist for the 10 cards but they do show photos of Judge, Dominguez, and Wells.

Giancarlo Stanton
Marcus Stroman

I would say either Soto or Dominguez. I just can't see dropping that much money and then not getting an auto of someone on the Yankees.

I have Judge and Soto already so out of the original 5 you listed before the updated checklist I would want Volpe but would still be happy with Dominguez.

You have a Soto Yankees autographed card?

I have several Judge early autos and only 1 Dominguez. Wells is probably the cheapest of them to get. I would love a Soto Yankees autograph at some point. That dual booklet with Judge and Soto in the upcoming Topps Sterling is sick looking.

Unfortunately the Soto I do have is the boxtopper from 2020 topps archives blasters in his nationals uniform. It is a 1964 oversized on card autograph which is awesome because the signature is bigger.

Ah OK. I usually don't collect players when they were on another team or go to another team and are in different uniforms. For me, it's them on the Yankees or bust.

Me neither although if you just want the players autograph it is always cheaper when they are not in a Yankees uniform.

Judge is back in the lineup today.
