1. OF Jasson Dominguez | 22 | MLB | 2023
The 5’9” 190 lb switch-hitting Martian will be a “big part” of the 2025 team according to manager Aaron Boone. If he’s 190 lbs, I’m Miles Davis. Not that I’m in any kind of shape to be sniping. Time is a mfr. As is snacking. On the other hand, time plus snacking equals The Itch, so here we are and here we go. If I had to bet right now, I suspect the Yankees will wind up without Juan Soto, paving the way for Dominguez to get a full season of big league at bats. He hit just .179 in 18 games last year, but it’s way different to get dropped into a pennant race fighting for playing time than it would be to open the season with a starting gig. Feels kind of foolish to say this given the hype Dominguez brought into his professional career, especially because I’ve never been as high as consensus on him, but I think we underestimate this dude at our peril.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
