Andujar has been an elite offensive player at every single level he's ever played at. This isn't surprising at all.

He indeed has adjusted and gotten better. But more than anything, I think his success is a function of the Yankees suddenly being the best franchise in MLB for player development. It's like playing The Show on Rookie mode. I sure hope this doesn't stop with Denbo in Miami. It's comical how every one of our prospects as of late hits at least his 80th percentile projection, and the ones who don't, we trade to the White Sox.

Brandon Drury deserves Greg Bird's AB's. He's been pathetic.

What is Stanton doing in some of these AB's? Horrible pitchers make him look bad soooooooo much.

Revelry in the Dark

during my weekend reading I found this passage from Eno Sarris's article about Loaisiga really interesting

quote:

Uh, I think we found his elite pitch. This is a mid-80s “slider’ with curveball like drop. This is the second slider in a row he threw to a lefty batter who’s best tool is his hit tool, and this is the best Joey Wendle could do with the ball. Loaisiga threw four sliders in five pitches to Wendle, and got three whiffs and a foul ball for his efforts, meaning this is a pitch that can get whiffs even when the hitter knows it’s coming.
Easy 70 pitch, and with the combination of 85 mph gas and that much drop (-3 inches), it’s actually comparable to Jacob deGrom’s curve (83 mph, -3 inches) and Lance McCullers’ curve (87 mph, -3 inches) … which, yeah.

I think it's crazy how the Yankees became the best player development org in the business after sparse pickings in the late 2000s. Judge, Severino, Sanchez, and all the power pitching talents probably don't reach their ceilings in other organizations

Loaisiga can also throw that slider with horizontal and vertical movement simultaneously. It's ridiculous.

His fastball is no slouch either.

I think Walker could be decent if he was playing everyday, but there's no place for him to do that on this team.

But yes please bring me Drury.

Clint up, Toe optioned back to AAA. This is unrelated to the 26th man since they don't need to option anybody for that.

Looks like Loaisiga impressed enough to get a second start.

EDIT: Gallegos is the 26th man, Green will "start" the makeup game.

They are not playing particularly well and they are in a pennant race. They can't have Stanton embarrassing himself every AB.

Forget about the record. The only thing that means anything is that they are down .5 games in the division. Also they could play better and still win less games.

His stuff is not exceptional so I don't think he's going to be as good long term as someone like Green has been but he has definitely been valuable so far with Khanle falling off the face of the earth and Warren being hurt a lot...

Man, Domingo's stuff is so good it will be really interesting to see if he can turn that into results. He misses so many bats.

Edit: Also, get this garbage centerfielder "Hicks" off my team. His at bats should be going to someone else.
