Listening to a recent episode of the Yanks go Yard podcast, I found myself conflicted. Hosts Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante were frustrated with Yankees’ designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton. But they were also frustrated with some of Stanton’s defenders.
For the “pro-Stanton” camp, the slugger deserves his dues for his overall solid offensive numbers (as I write this he has a 120 OPS+).
