Holy Crap: Here Come Da Judge, Too!

Wow, Bob Lorenz just tweeted that Aaron Judge has also been called up and will be playing right and batting 8th today.   Judge hit his 19th HR of the season last night for Scranton, and brings unlimited power, a great arm and surprising speed for his mammoth size.  Judge had motored through A and AA, but had trouble gaining traction in AAA, until they made him adjust his hands back in May or June.  Since they, aside from a multi week injury, Judge has been sentencing baseball after baseball to extreme pain, and he's also been controllling the strikezone and hasn't been K'ing nearly as much.

This could be a pretty amazing day around Yankeeland.

Love it.

It seems like Hicks will have until Frazier is ready to prove himself.

Cashman said Aaron Judge is here to be the everyday right fielder. Tyler Austin's playing time is less defined. -- @LoHudYankees

Not sure. It may depend on how much contract Hal is willing to eat.

Hicks had a streak earlier in the season.
