I know you guys made changes at the deadline, and the team won't be the same opening day as it was last year's opening day.

But it pretty much is the same team that lost in the ALDS to the Toronto Blue Jays and got beat all year long.

Yeah.

by the Toronto Blue Jays.

And you said going in that you felt as good about this team heading into the playoffs as any team you've had as Yankee managers.

So, I mean, I think you've acknowledged it's running it back.

It's hard to push back on that.

It is running it back.

And what makes you feel comfortable, what makes the team feel comfortable, that running it back is going to be good enough this time.

I'm sure he's there a little bit earlier than that.

Talking about injuries, since we're on that subject, I guess just give us a little quick thing.

You said Judge is feeling healthy.

Where are we with Cole, Rodon?

Volpe, and then if I can, let me ask you about Stanton, too, because last year, he was phenomenal through the World Series, could not have been hotter.

He was by far your best player, and then he shows up with elbow tendonitis in both arms.

We know we can expect him to miss some time.

That's kind of part of his game.

The organization admits as much.

Did he have any procedures on those elbows?

Are we expecting him to come up and start feeling good, as well as those other guys I mentioned?
