To win it all in '24!, all we need to do is turn a few of these IFs into DONEs, instead of the usual ANDs or BUTs.
But but BUT... let's face it: IFs are bastards. Every team has a bunch. The Yankees currently face questions about pitching, infield and outfield - (Judge in center, seriously?) - and IFs have become the currency of hope.
Here are the IT IS HIGH current Top 10 Yankee IFs List... ranked according to the John Mayberry Scale of Maybe.
The Yankees can win in 2024, IF...
10. Oswaldo Cabrera learns to hit.
9. Austin Wells proves to be a MLB catcher.
8. Clay Holmes can last a year as closer.
5. Anthony Volpe stops trying to be Aaron Judge.
4. Giancarlo has a comeback season.
3. Rodon pitches like 2022.
2. Soto hits as we expect.
1. Judge and Cole stay healthy.
Hmm. You know what? That's a shitload of IFs.

I actually think all of those have a good chance except 4. No faith in a Stanton comeback. I’ll go one further on Franco and say we’ll never see him in the majors again.
Oh yeah. And if a pig had wings it would be an eagle.
"4. Giancarlo has a comeback season."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Well, as I understood it - “Can’t-Run” planned to come back this season. I do suspect that he will be there. Uni’d up and ready to take the field. A Glass from the Past - A poster child of inconsistency consistency. Apollo Giancarlo with his mighty Moonshots.
(Do you think the Dodgers would trade for him if we somehow convinced the world he was born in Kyoto?)
JM - inspired!
Don’t forget that brown paper bag trick if you start to hyperventilate
(Inconsistent Consistency)
And if my Aunt had balls she'd be my uncle
Celerino……..have you considered asking?
That post was iffy...
Nice one, Ranger!
Nos. 1 and 2 are really the biggies here, aren’t they? They could determine the team’s viability for the low, low bar of being a MLB playoff contender. To go beyond that, we will need much more and that will have to come from the emergence of younger players, not imagined “comebacks” of Stanton, DJLM, Rodon, Rizzo…

"Do you think the Dodgers would trade for him if we somehow convinced the world he was born in Kyoto?"
Good one.
Three More Ifs
1) If... I were a hammer. (I'd hammer in the morning, but not early,
because I have neighbors who sleep in.)
2) If... I were a carpenter and you were a lady... (I'd hammer in the
morning, I'd hammer in the evening,... All over the house and if
my neighbors didn't like it they can move.)
3) If... I were a rich man. Biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy
bum. (All day long I'd try to buy the Yanks. Biddy biddy biddy,
fire Cashman.)
To make room for Marcus Snowman on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated OF Oscar Gonzalez for assignment.
Where will Oscar Gonzales rank in the top 100 Yankees?
If the team is so inclined, they can bring Gonzalez back as a non-roster player, there won’t be a line forming to snap him up..For me, there’s plenty of similar tin cans on the ol’ scrap heap, I’m good either way
Does Stanton even remember what spring training readiness looks like?
Chopard Sunglasses and new Gucci wardrobe. 2024 Pagani Huayra Codalunga in his parking spot. Three young fillies, fresh out of the Victoria Secrets catalogue on his arms.
Yeah, he's ready for spring training.
