Seriously what in the hell is wrong with this guy? Chris Stewart was better than this crap.

I'm quit stunned myself....after seeing his interview around Opening Day, on becoming the new Yankee Catcher; and his idolization of Munson, and the honor he felt (or said he did), playing in NY of all places. He talked like a kid in a Candy store, like most of us would; given the opportunity to play in Pinstripes. I thought he'd play his heart out, hit like never before, (with the short porch in sight).

He just does NOT look at all like the McCann of Atlanta. He lacks the fire, (even absent in his eyes), he showed with the Braves, ....I don't get it...! I no longer am buying, "he needs to get used to AL pitchers". He's seen enough of them, and still nada...!
 
ARod called him,will hook him up with the good stuff so he can become a real Yankee.
 
After sticking up for this guy all season I'm becoming very disappointed. Both he & Beltran have been basically busts.
 
McCann has to get better. I don't see how you can be worse. As for Beltran that's going to go down as a mistake signing as to me he's showing every bit of his age.

Beltran has pretty much succeeded everywhere else he's been, hey here's a thought, maybe Kevin Long could help him out. (insert laughing icon here). Or better yet maybe Jeter could just introduce him to Denbo.

A-Roid, the return of the greatest player of all time....???

Alex will return to be our next Captain.....DOH-....NOT never, hope someone breaks his legs, before the season begins in 015. I honestly don't want to see A-Roid in PinStripes again. I know the Yanx could use his bat, with or without steroids, but then he still is an easy out, with the outside low pitch...chases it damn near every time....and a Post Season Prima Donna non-performer 3/4ths of the time(s)...!

Yep, our new Captain....:lol:
 
I wasn't expecting much this year... new division... new league.... new pitchers to hit off.... new pitchers to catch...
 
How does he compare to Martin during his first year on the Yanks?

Russell Martin 2011 = 18 / 65 / 237 So I'd say pretty even BUT.........McCann was SUPPOSE to be a vast improvement.

Nice spray chart 59....

IMO, McCann simply needs to cut his K's down, and allow more Bases on Balls. Just a bit more selective, I believe he WILL come around, as well, its inevitable...!
 
...actually matts, he doesn't strike out that often...and less often than most of the other starters/regulars.

I agree, nice spray chart!

I'm impressed with how he spreads the ball around... just needs to make contact more often and get on base more often, but again, I feel he's still adjusting...

My Bad...59...!

I should of seen as much with the spray chart, obviously Brian IS making contact, and putting the ball in play. I looked at his career K totals, not bad. I would still like to see his Walks become more than His Strike Outs, tho', as much I would for any Yankee hitter....!

Ol' Ted Williams advice to any player, and Donnie BB and Wade Boggs in a old SI. (Classic Story too)...

As is said, as long as a player is making solid contact, he will sooner or later, come around, a get on base, drive in runs, and improve his B'Avg....!

Thanks again for edifying...!!
 
...he's been VERY unlucky so far...has had more than his fair share of hard hit balls right at someone...and a lot of warning track fly balls.

...I'm really hoping some of the outs eventually turn into hits/HRs.

No doubt, it is only a matter of time before Brian Breaks out....as long as he's hitting the ball hard....I will be patient.....regardless....! McCann WILL come around, no doubt...! I'm with ya' on this one, 59.

Again, love the spray chart, perfect example of making contact...!
 
His average certainly doesn't indicate his ability to hit the balls to all fields. They just seem to always be right at somebody. I think all its going to take is a few multi hit games for him to come around. Right now I think he's playing more toward his salary as opposed to his ability.
