That's the opener nonsense. Can't say I agree with it but the Yanks are in a spot with CC, Paxton and Severino injured so they don't have a choice. Plus it's the 2nd game of a doubleheader so sometimes you have to piece that game together with the bullpen. I'd like to see Chance Adams get a shot in the meantime
...was he considered a key prospect (highly rated) in the Yanks minor league system?
yes, I think so - maybe not *the* top prospect at any time, but he played well consistently in the minors. He was an all-star at AA level with Trenton. His getting shot led to him not really having a year last year, so he has been out of the picture and has only now gotten back into it.

Yeah, he got shot in Venezuela...forgot about that. That's why he didn't play much last year

I believe I read he still has the bullet in his hip.
On the Yanks website, not listed as 'Top 30' prospect.
He is making the most of the opportunity, that's what it's all about...
about guys from our system doing well in a pennant race is that it puts a halo effect on other prospects. So does our reputation for picking undervalued winners
A year ago a German was up and down. Now he may be a rare commodity. Ditto Estrada ...a good fielding infielder who can hit.
He’s much more of a complete hitter than the Shane Spencer-type flash in the pan home run in bunches guy he was labeled as by some last season. He’s also been very solid in the field - not great, but nowhere near a liability.
Newest Yankee-Breyvic Valera has just been killing it since coming over from the Giants. He is hitting .364 with 5 homers including a GW Grand Slam in his 1st 10 games as AAA Scranton Yankee. In his first AB tonight, he just doubled.
Deivi Garcia just turned 20 on May 19th. He is the second youngest player in baseball in AA. Tonight he just struck out the side in the first inning.
With Chance Adams up to the Yankees tonight, the Yankees had to go to Tampa (High A) to grab Shawn Semple to pitch tonight's game. Huge jump from High A to AAA. Lets see how he does in tonight's home start.
is some info on newest Yankee Breyvic Valera, who has played 7 different position during his years in AAA (no pitching or catching) Link - ( New Window )

that this is what Voit is going to be going forward and that he's not a flash in the pan? And "that" is a good, solid, consistent player.
He seems like potentially a top 5-10 1B. Never an all star, but a good player. If he could become a good fielder, he'd add tremendously to his upside.
I may be selling him a bit short here actually. I didn't realize his OPS+ is 130. That's Tex level.
Check out the AL 1b this year. He could easily be an all star this year. He's right there with E5 and Jose Abreu.

If Tyler Wade was hitting like Thairo, he’d still be up with the big club.
At this point it is pretty clear he has taken Wade's spot on the team.
Luke's bomb was 479 feet. Damn he is a beast.
Yup, it’s Estrada’s spot now. And, yeah, a big beast! Loving all of it.

I just went through the AL looking at each team's first baseman this year. Voit was top 5 among those players.
& friends in his home state!
Who's starting game 2?

Yep PIX 11.

He was considered an average prospect for the most part. I think he was injured most of last year so he was not high on the radar at all

...much appreciated!
He's going to be responsible for eating most of the innings as the guy after the opener
6-2 Yanks
