All-Star ballot update #3: Aaron Judge reigns supreme

By -

After a big night in Anaheim, Aaron Judge continues to collect accolades in 2017 as he is the leading vote getter in all of the American League for the second week in a row. The man who heard MVP chants 3,000 miles away from his home stadium and is currently leading the league in the Triple Crown categories is pulling away from second place vote getter Jose Altuve by almost 300,000 votes.

The rest of the team remained relatively stagnant in terms of their position from last week. Altuve is pulling away from Starlin Castro by a little less than 600,000 votes. Holliday is closing in on Nelson Cruz for the designated hitter starting position, but still sits at second place by about 180,000 votes. Gary Sanchez and Didi Gregorius are having a scorching hot month of June and are making strong cases for both of them to selected to play in the Midsummer Classic. Gary Sanchez is up to ten home runs and 28 RBIs, while Gregorius is hitting .344 and is in the midst of a 14-game hitting streak. However, both players remain fourth and third respectively among players in their position. Brett Gardner is still five players out of a starting position, and Aaron Hicks is not on the ballot.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
