On a personal level, I have a huge amount of respect for Giancarlo Stanton. The man has never wavered once in his time in New York, he's been deferential and honest and forthright, and he's had big playoff moments.
One of the big problems with the Yankees over the past five years or so has been a top-heavy lineup; once pitchers work past Aaron Judge and the co-stars, there wasn't a lot of resistance in the bottom half. With Soto, Alex Verdugo, and hopefully a step forward from Anthony Volpe, Stanton doesn't need to be hitting fourth anymore.
