Imagine if Gary Sanchez had started his career 2-for-35, then followed that with a monster month.

The fans and writers would have made up their minds about him based on a small sample size; McCann might still be on the Yankees; Sanchez's post-pennant race September surge would have been dismissed; the general consensus for the 2017 Yankees would probably be 70 wins instead of 85 wins.

Or maybe there would have been no chance for a rebound 20-HR surge in September because he would have ridden the bench ... in Scranton.


Gosh, I hope Sanchez is the next Jorge Posada. A lot of observers believe he will be even better.

I'm just stuck with the nagging feeling he's the next Joba Chamberlain.
