00:00Austin Wells, he's in his own little slump within himself.
00:03He's batting 169 with a 544 OPS.
00:07Do the Yankees feel as though he can get himself out of this slump,
00:12or do you think they're going to start looking for his potential replacement?
00:17I think at this point, it's obviously been a struggle for Wells,
00:20but I think they value so much what he does behind the plate
00:22and his relationship with the pitching staff,
00:24which has obviously been one of the best in baseball.
00:26But I think a lot of other positions,
00:28maybe you send a guy down to AAA to kind of work on some stuff offensively
00:31or maybe try somebody else out.
00:33But I think they value so much what Wells brings as a pitcher
00:37that I think they're kind of trying to have him work through it up here.
00:40First month of the season, he was still getting his walks
00:43and hitting some hard contact.
00:44The last month has been less of that.
00:47A lot of times, it kind of looks a little bit lost up there.
