It's not being talked about enough...he is one of the main reasons why this offense has dropped off so badly. First year of a big contract and he has sucked. No bones about it.

If he alone was producing at 2019 and 2020 levels, this team would be one of the top offenses (going by OPS+)
With that said, it was painfully obvious he wasn't going to keep up those numbers, but Cashman's plan always involves everyone over-achieving and no one ever getting hurt.
Q: Who’s the guy on your roster that would have been overlooked if not for analytics? Cashman: Ronald Torreyes. He’s an analytical darling.

I think the Real DJ lies somewhere between 2019 and this year's version. Overall I still think he adds great value to the roster even @ $15M per season. Lol, he's a better value than Stanton IMO."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

He would add even more value if they’d just let him be the everyday second baseman."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

A DJ hitting in the vicinity of, say, .295 (his lifetime BA is about .301) would have helped the Yankees a lot more this year than this .270ish version with his new contract. One expectes Stanton to go into the doldrums for extended periods (and then bust out spectacularly for a week or so). DJ's so-so season may well be the major disappointment from the plate this year. No table to be set when the big guys come to the plate.

2019 his OBP was .375, this year it is 351. But his SLG% is comfortably over 100 points lower. Its 200 points lower compared to last year.
He has gone from being a regular version of Judge to being a regular version of Gardner from 5-6 years back. Thats quite the drop off, especially when he gets the most PA's on the team

I'm thinking DJ just needs a day off once a week at least until the end of the season. He's played a lot. I think he can be better if he gets to catch his breath a little bit."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle
