Brian McCann left the game with the Seattle Mariners on
Thursday afternoon with a sore right foot, a foot problem that has caused him
problems for a few weeks now. The team sent him to New York for an MRI as a
precaution after x-rays came back negative on the injury. What would the
Yankees do, if they could do anything, to replace McCann both behind the plate
and in the lineup if the foot issue becomes a long term issue going forward?
The obvious choice for the starting catcher position would
be John Ryan Murphy who is currently serving as the back up to McCann but who
comes up to back up Murphy? Is it veteran Eddy Rodriguez who signed a minor
league deal with the team to come out of retirement before the 2015 season? Is
it Austin Romine who lost the backup catcher competition this spring training
and has done little to make Joe Girardi’s decision look foolish? Or would it be
a wildcard and a young prospect like Gary Sanchez who is currently tearing up
Double-A pitching and making stride after stride defensively? The stats don’t
tell all but they are a good place to start.
Romine:
