We have seen the future of the farm system, and his name cannot be pronounced.
Jahdiel Santamaria is tearing up the Dominican Summer League, which is at a level somewhere between the Gulf Coast League and the Steve Howe Memorial Stems & Seeds Mushball Tourney, but why quibble?
Remember that name. Jahdiel Santawhatevertheitis.
Jah has three home runs and a pitcher-whuppin' .389 batting average, playing for the Yankee Number One team in whatever the hell town where the Number One team plays. Somewhere in the Dominica.
He's a 20-year-old DH (definition: 25-year-old) playing against wiry, oil-faced pre-teens, which means not only is Jah ruling with his mighty bat, but he's probably fragging every loose chick in the bus stop, and teaching the next generation of Luis Polonias the art of self-gratification.
Hats off to Jah, an emerging Yankee clubhouse presence. Swing hard, old-timer.

I can't fathom how it is hard to pronounce Santamaria. Santa-Maria. Two simple words. I guess the word dumbass is hard to pronounce as well?
It is hard to pronounce!
P.S. I love turkey
