About Last Night: Gleyber of love
Gleyber Torres did it again. He led the Yankees to victory with a dinger. It wasn’t a walk-off and it was only a solo shot but it made all the difference in a tight game with the Angels. So far Torres, who was already highly touted prospect, has been better than advertised. He looks great on […]

The 5 Best Moments of the Yankees’ Hot Streak
A dramatic, come-from-behind victory on a game-winning home run is the stuff of fantasy. Gleyber Torres’ walk-off three-run blast on Sunday afternoon could become a turning point of the 2018 season.

The Yankees’ Target: An Evolved Gerrit Cole
Whether or not the majority of Yankees fans would sign off on a trade for Pittsburgh Pirates’ ace, Gerrit Cole, the possibility exists. Chronicling the assets presumed to leave New York for the cost-effective starter gives you a picture of how foggy details around the “progressing” negotiations seem to be.

Forget Free Agents; The Yankees Should Trade For a DH and SP
The Yankees have the deepest farm system in baseball. John Sickels identified 82 (!) Yankee prospects. Josh Norris of Baseball America ranked the Yankee farm system top-3 in baseball, with an argument for the #1 spot, and that a number of players beyond the top-30 would make the top-10 list for some teams. This is […]
Reacting to Mid-Season Prospect Lists
Calendars shedding another page as they embrace July not only catalyzes heat waves in the Northeast, but also the publishing of mid-season prospect lists. It’s a chance for analysts to recant past criticisms from the preseason and present the masses with prospects who converted their winter efforts into helium in their rise to relevancy. This season has been […]
Implications of a Torn UCL: The Gleyber Torres Story
I may have jinxed it. Buzz around the Bronx picked up so much a few weeks ago that I felt it was inevitable Gleyber Torres’ would make a resounding entrance into a lineup second only to the Houston Astros in OPS. My series of posts – It’s Not Gleyber Time… Yet & It’s Almost Gleyber […]
