The New York Yankees are gearing up for an intriguing 2025 season, and the spotlight is firmly on Aaron Judge and his new batting partner, Cody Bellinger. With Judge coming off an MVP season, the question looms: can Bellinger provide the protection Judge desperately needs in the lineup?
Historically, Judge has faced a lot of intentional walks, and with the departure of Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton starting the season on the injured list, the Yankees are banking on Bellinger to step up. He’s shown promise in spring training, leading the team in hits and batting average. But can he maintain that momentum in the regular season, especially in the hitter-friendly confines of Yankee Stadium?
Let’s dive into some discussion points:
- Do you think Bellinger can replicate his spring training success throughout the season? What are your expectations for him in the Yankees lineup?
- How crucial is it for Judge to have a reliable hitter behind him? Can the Yankees' success hinge on Bellinger’s performance?
- With the Yankees' recent roster changes, what are your bold predictions for their season? Will they reclaim their dominance in the AL East?
- How do you feel about the Yankees' strategy of building around Judge? Is it sustainable, or do they need to diversify their lineup further?
Share your thoughts, predictions, and any experiences you have with players who have had to step up in similar situations. Let’s get the conversation rolling!
