I had this thought, but I didn't feel strong enough to post it. They do love single syllable first names.

I already have a Yu Darvish themed Final Fantasy XIV character
Though not my main

I always thought "Framber" was very Star Wars-y

Terrin Vavra is my sleeper pick for a Phantom Menace background character
Davy Andrews

Yes!

I think Terrin Vavra was one of the pod racers

Alek Manoah is wearing a button up shirt with the Sandlot movie poster printed on it for opening day fyi
Davy Andrews

Manoah is an easy guy to love.

Absolute paint from Webb there, way to bounce back

Juan Soto makes me think Han Solo

The Josh Donaldson rebirth is... on hold after he strikes out looking against Logan Webb. That will make him popular in the Bronx.

While my DNA includes Yankee hate, even without it, Donaldson makes it easy.
Alex Eisert
1:29
I have no idea why he's starting, let alone batting fifth. If only Chaparro was closer to the majors.
1:30
Apparently he made some swing tweaks during the spring, but I'll defer to Esteban for that analysis.
A Boy Named Yu

I apologize for my Star Wars name question hijacking the thread.  Had no idea it'd be so popular!
Davy Andrews

Out of left field questions encouraged.

Outstanding Lucas-ass name. ($1 to David Roth).

Judge is so chill about his greatness. Strolls to the plate, takes one swing, runs around the bases grinning. Like bro you're facing a groundball specialist in 30 degree weather. This is not supposed to be easy.

Surprised no one has mentioned Sith Lord Didi Grigorius

Josh Donaldson's goal this year is to do the impossible: pass Chuck Knoblauch as the most hated Twins infield the Yankees have ever acquired
AvatarJay Jaffe
1:31
It's doable especially if he doesn't help the Yankees win a World Series or two.

Naturally, Jay finds the Judge home run while I generate dancing Judge.

Favorite stadium food?

Sausage with some level of spiciness and sauerkraut.
Davy Andrews
1:32
Chicken tenders and fries all day. Also, ice cream.
AvatarJay Jaffe

Bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard at Miller Park, but I haven't had one since the end of my first marriage (to a Milwaukee native). I did like the Blue Smoke pulled pork sandwich at Citi Field but that's gone too.

Do any of you know if SaberSim daily projections will be available on player pages this year?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I have no idea, but may be someone else knows?
5 Run Homer

Ozhaino Albies is definitely a background Star Wars character
Davy Andrews
1:32
Oh yeah, the full name makes this top 5 imo.

Do you think the shit ban will help lefties significantly more than righties?
Alex Eisert
1:32
Yes. Depending on plate appearance qualifications, the 45 or so hitters shifted the most were all lefties. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/batter-positioning?type=player_...

I agree with Alex.

LOL, shit ban. Man, Rob Manfred ain't banned that yet.
