 Chino Martinez is a very familiar face in Yankee history and a very familiar face around Tampa. Chino you're in camp with the Yankees. How did this come about and how are you enjoying being an advisor and instructor and just helping out in any way you can? Well I've enjoyed it very much. Aaron Boone called me a few days before camp started and asked me if I wanted to come to camp and I was like absolutely you know it's great to be out here be around the guys young guys especially and watch them you know try to make the team and watch the team grow as the spring goes along and I'm just enjoying every bit of it and watching and helping out. Left handed hitter to left handed hitter I need your scouting report on Juan Soto. Wow you know I tell you what the guy has a great game plan and he knows what he's doing at home plate. We talked earlier how he has a great great command of the strike zone and if you watch his batting practices it's left field left field left field he's not trying to pull the ball and just hit home runs like most guys do. His two strike approaches you'll see throughout the year is he shortens up a little bit to put the ball in play. He's just a dangerous hitter one of the best I've ever seen. You know you're hitting some dangerous lineups yourself teams that went all the way but when we look at Soto and Judge back to back how much do you expect those two and the rest of the lineup but those two principally to torment pitchers? Oh a lot you know I think the thing is with Soto hitting in front of Judge it's going to help judge out a lot because Soto is so dangerous and they pitch around him to get to Judge. Judge is dangerous and then it kind of like filters down the lineup when two guys like that are dangerous and they're getting on base all the time and working the counts the rest of the lineup kind of feeds off that and it makes the whole lineup better all the way through. I know great hitters appreciate other great hitters and off-camera you were talking to me about just watching Soto hit line drive after line drive to left center field just working on that technique on any given day. Yeah I've seen him throughout the spring every day it's the same approach he's driving that bottle left center left center 22 or 3, 4, 5 in a row then pull one here and there and again his two strike approaches spreads out a little bit puts his foot down and just tries to battle and still gets hits the ball hard. You've won a lot of awards and a lot of accolades in your career but you actually have another one coming up this week which is special for anyone connected to the Yankee family you're winning an award at the Thurman Munson dinner how excited are you to be part of that event? Oh very excited you know you know as a kid I watched Thurman Munson and I was a big fan of his and over the years I've got to know his wife Diane very well at old old timers every year and being a good friend of Lupinela as I've heard how much Lou loved Thurman Munson and how great of a guy he was so I'm very honored to get this award for sure. And to close it out you've been around this team you've been here a lot this spring what's your expectation for the 2024 Yankees? Well you know every year the expectations are high the world series are buzzed with the Yankees and this year I would say more so because the lineup is awesome they got a great pitching staff and again I think it's all going to come down to them being healthy all year.
