NY roster 2023
- Thread starter jon abbey
- Start date
CC Sabathia made the choice to go sober late in his career. A few years into retirement, he has lost 20 lbs and looks great. Too bad he couldn’t have quit sooner. Not carrying extra weight might have helped when he battled injuries. But we live and learn in life, all of us.
“The incident that led to the Yankees placing pitcher Domingo German on the restricted list on Wednesday occurred at Yankee Stadium and was not a domestic situation, clubhouse sources say.
On Tuesday evening of this week, German grew belligerent while in the clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, though there is no word of an altercation with a teammate or other individuals. Witnesses determined that German was under the influence of alcohol and did not appear in control of his emotions.
Several Yankees, including GM Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and ace Gerrit Cole, appeared visibly shaken when asked about German on Wednesday.
German’s behavior on Tuesday was not connected to the armpit injury that led the Yankees to scratch him from Monday’s start, then insert him into the game in the fifth inning, sources said.”

This is the second Yankee who tried to play through an injury for months and was dreadful the entire time before finally going on the IL. What is wrong with this organization?

So, that collision with Tatis was in late May. Rizzo then went on the longest homer-less streak of his career and overall has been awful at the plate. And now suddenly they are tracing a concussion to it?
What in the world is with their medical staff?

Apparently Luke Voit just opted out of a minor league contract. Time to bring him back, I guess.
No, no, no, no, no. Bauers is a 1B, get him out of the OF. LeMahieu can play there too. Stop bringing in more journeyman mediocrities to block actual prospects.
I forgot Bauers is an actual first baseman. Good idea to get him out of the outfield. As far as blocking prospects, well, what first base prospects do they have and if they have any that are good, why weren't they brought up?
Chaparro is probably the closest they have to a 1B prospect who is ready, he has split time at 3B and 1B in AAA evenly and gets on incredible offensive hot (and cold) streaks with big exit velocities. 20 HRs in 95 games in AAA so far this year, he is 24:

This is scary and alarming shit that Domingo German did in the clubhouse on Tuesday.

Sending a drunk guy into a sauna is...inadvisable. Between this and the Rizzo concussion, the Yankees' medical staff appears to be a clown show.
The article by Lindsey Alder also mentioned he was put in the facility’s nap room after and monitored by team security.
What in the world are they thinking? Is this the 1960’s? How embarrassing are these “medical professionals “?
There are a lot of pile ons happening on twitter right now about the Rizzo stuff. Some reports that the Yankees are asking a lot of their players to play through injuries that require attention. I'm not so sure about Rizzo because from his own mouth, he did some testing and felt okay then just kept feeling tired. Concussion protocol is designed by the MLB and the symptoms can literally be anything.
On the German stuff, that's what we get for keeping pieces of garbage on the roster.

This locker room has a few bad apples. Donaldson seems pretty upbeat and healthy for a guy on the 60-day. It only takes one or two bad apples to spoil the bunch. German makes two.
I could be mistaken here but I believe he will have two years of control left if he’s on the restricted list for the remainder of the year. He came into the year with 4 years and 17 days of service time and he will not be accruing additional service time while on the RL. That will leave him short of 5 years when the season ends.
Promoted again to AA as of tomorrow after a blistering 1.144 OPS in just 27 games in high A. He turns 22 in September, I'd guess he has gone from a 0 percent chance of rule 5 protection as of a few months ago to a 60-70 percent chance, and a lock if he can keep doing this at a third level.

I don't think anyone will claim Deivi so he will likely come back for another spring training. No idea what happened there, he just lost it after hitting the majors very young and looking quite promising.
Also, Rodon to the IL which means Severino likely gets at least one more start, ugh.

Yoiks, so the rotation is now:
Cole
Schmidt
Severino
Vasquez
Brito
Cortes hasn’t been the same since he had to pitch on 3 days rest in the ALDS, hopefully he and Rodon are healthy next year or NY will be fucked again.

Randy Vasquez sent down today, both Pereira and Austin Wells not in the AAA lineup tonight. Guys called up now will not lose rookie eligibility next year if they don’t hit 130 ABs, keeping them eligible for the ROY bonus draft pick next year.
“At the end of the @swbrailriders game Austin Wells & Everson Pereira weren’t on the field to congratulate the team after the win. Both were left off tonight’s lineup. Are the Yankees finally calling these 2 prospects to shake up the Bronx? “
Pereira is on the 40 man already, Wells is not but needs to be added after the season.
NY has one roster spot open now for a few days by sending Vasquez back down with Rodon back Tuesday. DFAing Greg Allen seems likely, he is out of options, they are barely using him, and that frees up a 26 man and a 40 spot. Maybe they let Wells catch a couple times before Tuesday and if they’re OK with him there, Rortvedt goes down for Rodon.
Exciting! Get Florial and Peraza up next, then we’re really talking…

Most promising thing I've read about this team in a while. I kind of doubt it will happen to the extent it needs to, but yeah, I (also) hope they can make good use of the remaining games to figure out some of this young talent for next season and beyond.
Wells was promoted to AAA less than a month ago. He has been compared to Kyle Schwarber since he was drafted, a very powerful LHH who is a C currently but unclear where he’ll end up defending apart from DH. This HR he hit two days ago was pretty Schwarber-esque, 473 to right center:

Also I don’t think Wells is fast but somehow he is 39-39 on SBs in his minor league career, 280 games. C 194, DH 86, no games anywhere else (some project him as a corner OF).

Catcher/first baseman Ben Rice just got named Eastern League Player of the Week. Somerset is his third team this season. He’s a lefty hitter and solid on defense. Drew Thorpe was named Pitcher of the Week.
From Bryan Hoch’s MLB.com story.
Rice went 12-for-23 (.521) for the week with two homers, nine RBIs and seven runs in six games, all while splitting time as a catcher, first baseman and designated hitter. Since joining Somerset on July 18, Rice has slashed .342/.422/.696 in 20 games.
“I think the thing that helps me most is my bat-to-ball skills,” Rice recently told The Trentonian (N.J.). “I make a lot of contact, don’t swing and miss very much. That’s the biggest thing with me, so I know that if I’m smart during my at-bats and work the counts that I’ll get a pitch to hit eventually, and I’ll be able to put a barrel on it.”
A 12th-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, Rice was recently added to the Yankees’ Top Prospects list by MLB Pipeline, ranking No. 23.
Jon has covered Thorpe already but here is what Hoch wrote yesterday:
Thorpe made his Double-A debut on Aug. 11, striking out nine while permitting just two hits over eight scoreless innings in a dominant victory over Binghamton.
“Obviously, you want to see how your stuff plays at higher levels,” Thorpe said. “I’m just going to continue to do my thing. I know my strengths, and I’ll go at them with that.”
A second-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, Thorpe is ranked the Yanks’ No. 5 prospect by MLB Pipeline, leading all Yankees Minor Leaguers in ERA (2.62), wins (11), strikeouts (138) and WHIP (1.02).

Pereira and Peraza are on their way up.

Of those two? Good question, Peraza is still dealing with a crowded NY infield but is more experienced, having been up a few times already. Pereira has had trouble staying healthy but interestingly was born the same month as Volpe (April 2001) and outproduced him as teammates in high A in 2021. I’m very curious to watch both but can I pick Jasson Dominguez?
FYI someone knowledgable on Twitter compared Pereira to Christopher Morel with better defense.
This only took a few days, he didn't play yesterday or today in high A and was reportedly in the AA dugout tonight, official move for tomorrow's game.
NY's OF situation for 2024 and forward looks a lot more promising than it did a month ago. Now Pereira is in MLB, Dominguez in AAA, and Jones in AA, as opposed to Pereira and Dominguez in AA and Jones in high A in late July (so four combined promotions for the three of them since then).
He set an alltime record for lowest BABIP
