Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Why does everyone want to sit Aaron Judge the rest of the way? All indications are that he can’t make the injury worse and he’s not going to need to undergo off season surgery ... so why would everyone want to sit him so badly?
I suppose it's not so much that he could re-aggravate his injury (though I wouldn't put it past the Yankees' doctors to be wrong about that) but that in a year where it's clear that the team isn't making the postseason, it doesn't make sense to further risk the superstar to any other injuries.
