Been talking with a buddy this morning. And more I’ve talked to him (he holds the opposite opinion), the more I’ve convinced myself that Yankees should really go after Pete Alonso.
- The Mets and Alonso stories feel really weird. Not same situation, but something feels off like it did with Yankees and Cano.
-Walker is the most complete player because of his glove, but if it is similar years and Pete is 10-20% more money…. I’m going Pete, I know he can play in NY.
-If Stanton misses any time Pete can immediately go to DH for 40+ games.
-They will never replace Soto’s walk per game. But they do need to replace his 65-80 XBHs a season. Pete has done that every year.
-If you can stay at 3 years, top 3 1B AAV, it isn’t the hardest deal to move. May eat a bit of the money, but you know he’ll hit for power, and because of it some team will chase a short term rental for him.
-Just because you have Alonso, does not preclude them from going after Vladdy. Because it’s short term.
-I like Pete as an option compared to Bregman who is same age and is looking for 8 years type deals

The bats are a pretty similar profile - Walker gets on a bit more, Alonso hits more HRs
Obviously Walker has the better glove - prefer him, cheaper, but don’t really care all that much

From 1B: Yankees got 16HRs, 75 RBIs, 23 - 2Bs, 51-BBs
From LF: Yankees got 15Hrs, 59-RBIs, 26-2B. 73-BBs..
The walks from LF are really good. But everything else is mid-20s ranking.
As I said in the last post, they won't ever be able to replicate Soto's hitting in 1 player.
But if they have massive improvement from what they got in:
130 games of Cabrera, DJ and Berti at 3B
162 of all the guys playing 1B
140 games with Verdugo in LF
1/3 of a season with Grisham in CF
Volpe growing as a hitter in year 3. He got better with contact, worse with power
Then you can replicate the hits, 2Bs, HRs, RBIs. And try to make a small dent in the walks. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have Soto for a decade than whatever the Yankees will do offensively, but my worry has decreased a bit. I'm still taking the Yankees out of the AL East

At this point get both. Alonso for 1B, Walker in LF where he’s played as well.
