You know you have a killer lineup when Grisham bats 7th.
Still not sure I like Wells in lead off.
Yanks going to NEED a hot start from Judge, plus -- well, everyone.

What's with Judge? With today's 0-for-4, 3 Ks, he's hitting .083 for the spring (2-for-24) and 0 XBH. He looks worse that 1939 Lou Gehrig at the plate.
Wells Spring 2025 to date: .357/.400/.714/1.114. What's not to like? I'll take a .400 OBA hitting leadoff even if Wells ran like Smoky Burgess, and he doesn't.
