I'm guessing he's going to appear on a few already. The strikeouts are a huge concern, though.Yet another HR for Garcia tonight, I wonder if he has a chance to make top 100 offseason lists.
He had a bad start to the year but seemed to put it all together in June. His OPS by month:JA, what's your take on Judge at this point?
I saw a mention of him a week or so back and went and looked at his stats on baseball reference and while they're good they're not as good as I thought they might be.
The BA youngest player in each league lists that I posted above made me realize that even though Blake Rutherford signed out of high school and was just drafted last month, he is somehow the oldest of these five at a few months over 19 (5/2/97).17 year old Oswaldo Cabrera, a Venezuelan SS, has been putting up video game numbers in the DSL and GCL (he is 45 for 101 across the two leagues, .446 BA) and just got promoted to Pulaski, where he can join Rutherford and Florial and Dermis Garcia and Wilkerman Garcia in a lineup filled with some incredible potential.
2 for 4 tonight, now at .443 for Pulaski, 27 for 61 (1.190 OPS).Blake Rutherford has gone 9-11 in the last 3 games, back to back 4-5s, and then a hit yesterday in the first inning and he was pulled because he was feeling sick. Prospect-following NY fans were scared for a couple of hours, but no worries, back in the lineup today, I wonder if he will be promoted a second time this season...
1.067 OPS in AAA, 213 PAs.Tyler Austin played RF tonight, 3 more hits, batting .320 for the season, with power.
There could be quite a few cheap Yankee Stadium HR's down that rightfield line in his future.1.067 OPS in AAA, 213 PAs.
Also, check out his spray chart, good luck shifting on him. He is not a switch hitter (RHH), that all fields power is impressive:
That is the guy who kind of profiles like a Pedroia type right?Also I don't think I've mentioned him here yet, but 2016 2nd rounder Nick Solak has been hitting up a storm for short season Staten Island, 388/.450/.531 in his last 25 games.
Well, at least I didn't say David Eckstein.He is undersized and white and a good hitter, yes.
He has a hard to believe 25 BBs in 5.1 IP now, for a second round pick in 2015, he is looking like an epic bust.You have to love this guy
Jeff Degano SP Pulaski
2 starts 24 batters faced. One batter put the ball in play for an error. 13 walks and 10 strikeouts
And he's gotten worse after they shut him down for a month (I assume to work on mechanics). His last 3 appearances. 1/3 IP 1 h 10 walksHe has a hard to believe 25 BBs in 5.1 IP now, for a second round pick in 2015, he is looking like an epic bust.
