Jazz Chisholm Already Proving Doubters Wrong With Great Attitude and Play With Yankees

MLBbro Jazz Chisholm dominated the baseball headlines over the weekend when the New York Yankees pulled the trigger and made the trade with the Miami Marlins in an effort to spark an end to an extensive slide in the standings.

MLBbro.com had been monitoring the potential move from the beginning knowing that with the Marlins starting to go in another direction, Chisholm was their best trade chip to begin the youth movement.

Despite his bro bombing, stealing bases and making mature plays after being throw into the third base position from the outfield, Jazz has his vocal doubters, who still feel as if he’s overrated. He’s said nothing but complimentary things about the Yankees and the team’s history.

 

 

However, former baseball executive David Samson, who was the Marlins team president from the year 2002-17, didn’t share this excitement.

 

Samson was on ‘The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz’ on Wednesday, where he called Chisholm Jr. “average.” 

 

Further, he even dismissed all the stories about Derek Jeter being Chisholm’s idol.

 

He said, “That was all [Derek] Jeter doing that. All the talk of Jeter being his idol. It was all ridiculousness. Jazz needed to be traded off this team, and the fact that he was given to the Yankees, whatever happens with the Yankees is fine. He’s not the star; he’s not the center of attention.”

Despite Doubts, Jazz Chisholm Is Delivering For Yankees

 

Meanwhile, Jazz has already delivered thus far on what the Yankees had envisioned when making the acquisition…defensive versatility, speed, power and energy to the starting lineup.

 

The power was on full display on Monday night when Chisholm did a power collaboration with MLBbro Aaron Judge, hitting two home runs in a 14-4 blowout win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The partnership took a unique turn as Chisholm actually used Judge’s bat for one of the “Bro Bombs”…

 

 

But what matters more than the four baseballs our MLBbro has put in the seats since his arrival has reflected a willingness to sacrifice to help his team win. After helping the Yanks beat the Boston Red Sox over the weekend, Chisholm made it clear that the Yankees can put him anywhere and he’ll take on the challenge.

Via ESPN…

“I could go and play anywhere and help my team win,” Chisholm told reporters after Sunday’s victory over the Red Sox. “For me, it’s just going somewhere. Especially a winning team, and they’re asking me to go somewhere to help them win? I’m definitely gonna go out there and do it.”

He then helped them sweep the Phillies.

 

Jazz Chisholm Playing Third Base Like A Vet

 

Pretty good for a player that not only showed his reflexes here, but handled all of his chances including starting a slick double play on his first opportunity. This from a MLBbro that has…

191 starts in center field

167 starts at second base

46 starts at shortstop

 

What makes this effort stand out even more is the fact that Gleyber Torres, the current starting Yankees second baseman, has stated he does not want to move to third base despite the fact he leads all second basemen with errors with 14.

 

Despite the uncertainty of Chisholm’s everyday position in the lineup due to Torres’ unwillingness to switch to the “Hot Corner” and Boone trying to figure things out, Frank Sinatra’s classic, “New York” may have some “Jazz” in it if he keeps hitting multi-homer games with Aaron Judge.
