Of the three, Park is probably the primo prospect. He's 23, was signed in the 2014 international teenager auction. This is his breakout season. Ruta, 24, has hit everywhere, is fast - 10 SB- and stands 6'3," but has been invisible to Yankee prospect blogs. Gittens - fifth in the league in HRs - is 25 and looks more DH than 1B.
You can get lost in stats, but it's rare to have the top three in a league. (The Yanks have nobody close in Scranton or Tampa. In low Single A, a 20-year-old OF Caanan Smith is fourth in the Atlantic Coast League, hitting .339.)
One last MILB note: Nineteen year-old Jose Devers, the kid we traded to Miami as part of the Giancarlo Stanton deal - (and brother of the Boston Devers) - is now second in hitting in the Atlantic Coast League. He's batting .331. Great. Just great. One of these days, we might just have a brand new reason to hate that deal.
Valar Morales!
ReplyDeleteGreen, two HRs.
ReplyDeleteCessa, hit after hit after hit.
These guys aren't openers. I'm not sure what they are at this point.
Hicks hits one to the sticks! And I liked the Reggie-like styling as he admired it. Good to have him back!
ReplyDeleteStratman, he must have heard Big Head and Paulie talking about Willie Montañez styling.
ReplyDeleteHow about Mets fans thinking they were getting a good deal with Joginson Cano, only now do they realize why the Yankees didn't sign him 5 years ago.
ReplyDeleteApparently, we have a new pitcher on the Yanks...Chase Adams. At least that's what Sterling was saying. He was pitching for two innings. He was then replaced by Chance Adams. I wonder if they are brothers?
ReplyDeleteJM, I agree that Hicks is way overrated. But he is a serviceable player, who can do a number of things well.
ReplyDeleteIf we get very lucky, maybe Florial will prove to be for real and we can replaced him in another couple years. But for now, we're lucky to have him considering the alternatives.
Serviceable? Lol try to 5 CF in the game...4 WAR CFers don't grow on trees, if we're lucky that's what Florial turns into you ungrateful Yankees know it all
DeleteWHAT A DAY!
ReplyDeleteWE WIN.
METS GO DOWN AGAIN, (TO FLORIDA)!
BRODY WAS A SALESMAN, WHO SOLD MET FANS A DEFECTIVE FULLER BRUSH.
I WARNED THEM.
THEY ALL FELL FOR IT. (SO SWEET).
ONLY DOWNER WAS THOSE SCUMBAGS IN BOSTON WON.
NOTE: THE MASTER'S CALL ON THIARO'S TRIPLE WAS GOLD. YOU GOTTA HEAR IT.
ICE CREAM TRIPLE SANDWICH!!! ICE CREAM TRIPLE SANDWICH!!! ICE CREAM TRIPLE SANDWICH!!! YOU FUCKERS YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteWith apologies to ALL CAPS.
ReplyDeleteThiaro didn’t have a triple... but Sanchez did! Never seen the fat toad hop so fast.
ReplyDeleteNO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SUIT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WARBLIST...
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE SAFE.
You know you're having a charmed season when everything goes wrong and it still goes right.
ReplyDeleteThey decide to go to the "opener" nonsense, their first two guys out on the mound get bombed...and they still win.
Gio fouls one off the gonads, we pinch-hit Thairo...and the Pharaoh wraps up the game with that pinch-hit.
And ALL-CAPS is right...what IS it with the Mets? How many times do they develop the unbeatable starting rotation of the future, only to have it all fall apart?
They get swept by the Marlins...Cano cannot run out ANYTHING...and they're already talking about firing the manager???? Oy.
One almost feels sorry for them. Almost.
ReplyDeleteICE CREAM SANDWICH--that's Warblist in bed with two black dudes.
ReplyDeleteWe already knew you were an asshole and a homophobe. I guess now we can add “racist“ to your portfolio.
ReplyDeleteUngrateful. Yes! Now you're getting the IIH ethos!
