I'll move belly to first base.
Who's playing left field.
Jason Dominguez.
Jason Dominguez is going to play left field.
Is Jason Dominguez putting up a year that Cody Bellinger put up last year?
I don't know that.
I do not know that.
I'm hopeful that he can.
The Yankees, by telling you, by what I read after the Bellinger signing, that he's going into the season as a fourth outfielder, they don't think he's going to do it.
It's already out there.
Again, more reporting this week, the Yankees don't see him as a long-term center fielder.
They think he's bad defensively, and they don't know if he's ever going to be able to hit right-handed.
It's a good way to box a 21-year-old player that was the Martian out of this world talent into a corner in his second full big league season.
But smarter Yankees.
I can't replace what I am.
Even at the worst case scenario, I know Ben Rice is going to hit me 25 to 30 home runs this year based on what I've seen from him through two major league seasons.
I feel comfortable of saying Cody Bellinger is going to get near 30 home runs and 90 RBIs again based on what I saw last year, knowing how well, how much better he was at Yankee Stadium than he was on the road last year.
What I don't know is the pencil in for anything for Jason Dominguez.
And putting that question mark into the lineup when I already don't know what I'm getting out of Trent Grisham.
