good stuff about the prospects. He spoke highly of Severino's character and work ethic, said he's doing well, but still seems like he has some command issues to work out. He's getting by on pure stuff, still needs to hit spots consistently.
If guys like Campos and Severino and Judge et al. don't pan out, it won't be all that interesting. It will be pretty sad here for a while.
The problem is that Yankee fans need to be prepared for it not panning out immediately. Some of them are going to struggle, and if we boo them into oblivion after 100 ABs we're going to send the FO a message about whether we actually do have the patience to rebuild.
Excellent point. And, even if they do pan out, we have a lot of needs. By "panning out" I mean that those types of names have to be in the Bronx for a decent amount of time next season and be reasonably good. They have to show they can handle the big leagues. They don't need to be stars now, but eventually in 2018 or 2019 they will need to be.
last week. Was hitting 95 through the 6th. Gave up a double and HR to the first two batters and then didn't give up another run. Think he walked two, but his control seemed decent for as hard as he was throwing.
I was expecting a better showing than what he gave early in the year. I think he still has a shot to be a very good pitcher in the majors. I have yet to see Campos. How much of a shot does he have to start the year in the Bronx next season?

good to hear.
I like the deal for both clubs. Cashman did well trading for him.
I would think it'll hurt more paying "X" for someone significantly worse than Chapman than the really strong package the Cubs gave up. I mean barring injury Chapman is a great reliever and the Cubs can pay him through the nose if they want to keep him. The teams giving up B+ prospects for a Tyler Clippard are the ones who will regret it.

I think the Chapman trade probably hurt the Indians the most. I doubt the Royals trade their closer in their division. The Yanks have Miller, but his price tag just went up- and now you have to hold off the Rangers and the Nats.
I wonder whether the Indians try and jump to the front of the line by making the Yanks an offer they can't refuse on Miller today or tomorrow and try to avoid deadline issues?
RE: MLB.com puts Torres #1 on Yankees prospect list
Mateo and Judge 2,3 and then McKinney goes #4, ahead of sanchez Link - ( New Window )
from that link, sounds like Torres could play 2d or 3d:
"Torres seemed a half-step quicker in 2015, enhancing his chances of staying at shortstop. While his range may be just average, his instincts and strong arm allow him to make plays. If he has to change positions, he'd profile well offensively and defensively at either second or third base."

Bingo, Duned. We can't put added pressure on kids who will likely take a while to come into their own. It's funny, but Yankee fans are more spoiled nowadays than in the 70s, when the team really stunk.
And we have a long way to go before we're a championship-level club once again. Pretty hard to replace the stars we had during our championship run. You don't find guys like that too often unless you're picking at the top off the first round and/or do an amazing job in INT FA.
Remember a few weeks ago when Randal got too full of himself (what else is new) and thought his tough guy talk about how I was wrong that Cashman was making great trades was the truth.

Where is Randal today?
He was complaining that Cashman didn't hold out for a better deal.
Sanchez is only 2 years older, outhitting him at a higher level at a premium position.
Callis said to ignore the top 30. He said Torres is the Yankees #1 prospect, McKinney will drop off their top 100 and will be "reranked" accordingly.
Of course McKinney will be dropped- he's a Yankee prospect.
That's not really fair. He said they don't update the rankings in-season (cited Bregman being listed as #18 as one that stands out). You look at McKinney's numbers and tell me he's top 100 but dropped because he was a Yankee. It's not like he came into the year #25, he was #88 and having a bad year. MLB.com just removes names that are ineligible and when top 100 pre-season guys are traded they automatically rank higher than others. That's their algorithm.
could be a great trade partner for the Yankees. They have quite a few nice minor league pieces and just missed out on Chapman. If I'm Cleveland I deal for Miller AND Lucroy. They can win the WS this season.

They changed it. It was probably a mistake, they have Sanchez ranked higher in their top 100 (50 vs 75).
