    2018 Yankee Prospect Thread

    To start the thread, Ben Heller needs TJS. The hits keep on coming

    Andujar is a prospect that I have liked. Sure, it's a small sample size, but I'm amazed at how lost he looks at the plate thus far. He seems to be struggling against the off-speed stuff.

    Wonder how long until the Yankees promote Torres, who is by far the best prospect in the Yankees system. There is a big drop-off after Torres.

    Andujar is showing his youth. Far too jumpy off the bat

    I also think Florial has the potential to be better than Gleyber.

    Torres hitting .389 with a .995 OPS through 9 games with 10 RBI. He’s killing it down there. If he stays in the minors through Wednesday, we will earn another year of control.

    He was removed from the lineup yesterday with some apparent "stiffness", Hopefully is nothing serious

    I am wondering if the "stiffness" will lead him to the Bronx. He has to stay down til tomorrow

    His arrival will cause a lot of "stiffness" among fans

    At may age stiffness is a welcome thing.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    well, he needs to stay in the minors thru Wed to get that extra year, so the earlier he can be in the Bronx is next Tuesday

    Gleyber is back in the lineup and already hit a double. Acevedo to the DL with blisters.

    It is high time for some of the Yankee's heralded prospects to step up and show why they are so highly regarded. Otherwise , Cashman may have to dive deeper into the proverbial dumpster.

    Time to perform, but the team has to play better, there's a lot of talent in the ML right now, not all the time we''ll hit a Judge or Sanches which were productive very soon, some growing pains are expected with some of the guys

    Yanks are supposedly bringing up Torres tomorrow. It's not official so there is no known corresponding move, but my guess is Wade goes back to Scranton.

    Torres is likely looking at a pretty long look at 2b. Walker has been abysmal and effectively becomes a platoon 1b until his bat heats up. Wade goes down most definitely. I do wonder what happens when Drury is ready. Andujar has been killing it lately and he has more offensive upside than Drury. And while Andujar isn’t know for his defense, he has less errors in more games than Drury had. I think we are seeing Torres first for his defense. The kid can pick it out there and has great range, which should help us up the middle. Wade has been such a disaster offensively that we aren’t seeing his defensive benefit and Walker isn’t known to be a good 2b either. I’m intrigued to see how this will work after the entire crew comes back, but I anticipate whomever plays best will keep their jobs
