His name ain’t chump, it’s Cody Ransom

By Joseph Pawlikowski

Okay, so maybe he’s not leaping a car in a single bound, but Cody Ransom’s got some ups. My sincere hope now is that after Ransom officially beats out Berroa for the utility infielder job, he goes up to him and says: “You see Angel, it’s like this. You either smoke or you get smoked…And you got smoked.”

Pfffft. I can do that.

definitely on PEDs…

steve (different one) says:

seriously, i can’t see how the ability to jump really high could ever be useful for an infielder

anonymous says:

I said thats useful!

 
Chris says:

When Pedroia tries to break up a double play, Ransom could easily jump over him – even if Pedroia decided not to slide.

 
 
 
 
A.D. says:

Well we got our pinch jumper for the season

 

It’s a shot at Jeter.

Matt says:

Dammit, I was going to say that.

 
 
A.D. says:

Well we know AJAX would run the point, and Brackman would be our big man for the Yankees basketball team. Looks like Ransom could be the swing man, we’ll see how his shot is.

They’d be better than the Knicks and the Nets combined

Aaron says:

We could probably field a team comprised of RAB commenters that would be better than the Knicks and Nets combined.

 
 
Eric says:

PG: AJax
SG: CJ Henry
SF: Ransom
PF: Betances
C: Brackman

Not too shabby. I know Henry may not be back with the Yanks, but he was with them long enough that I’ll count him.

That could come in handy . . . . . in just about every other sport except Baseball.

Well, it helps if you’re an outfielder.

Which Ransom is not.

 
 
Matt says:

Move him to CF. He could just jump the wall and catch every potential homer.

 
Kevin G. says:

He could probably jump over Pedroia

anonymous says:

How humiliating that would be if a base runner did that to him.

 
Matt says:

This dude could jump over Pedroia:

Jamal G. says:

I don’t know the exact dimensions of those Snapple vending machines, but my friend can get his feet to the top of one in a jump. Unfortunately, we couldn’t actually see if he can jump on it because the space between the roof and the vending machine was too small.

Drew says:

I can jump over a snapple bottle, or case.

 
 
The Evil Empire says:

I seriously believe I can do that too.

Mike Pop says:

Upload it on youtube and send me a link please.

 
 
Matt '09 says:

Let me preface this by saying I am impressed and I obviously could not do it, but let’s face it, it’s not like a jump from a stand still, he got a bit of a start…I mean, it’s not like he jumped out of 3 feet of water…

NFL Draft Prospect Jarron Gilbert

either way, I am impressed by Mr. Ransom, and fully expect him to be with the club when they break camp.

handtius says:

holy balls. should’ve been a skateboarder.

 
UNION YES. says:

Didn’t Joey Gathright jump over Hiroki Kuroda last ST?

 

I wonder if every Yankee blog had this up or just all of them. I’m halfway expecting to see it on SportsCenter soon.

 
Ben K. says:

Nate Robinson and Ransom should have a jump-off.
