The minor league season hasn’t started yet ? "Thursday night, the 2018 minor league regular season begins all across the country. Triple-A Scranton begins their season Friday night for whatever reason. Double-A Trenton, High-A Tampa, and Low-A Charleston all start Thursday." |

The House That Cash Builtwww.baseballamerica.com/stories/the-house-that-cash-built/That’s why, when the Yankees hovered near .500 for four seasons from 2013-16, and the game’s new rules made mediocrity impractical, general manager Brian Cashman suggested to owner Hal Steinbrenner that it might be time to go against every pinstriped instinct and tear it all down. "I could tell you honestly, given the way the chessboard is set up, I recommended to ownership a complete teardown,” Cashman said. "They were unwilling to do that. They said, ‘No, you’re not going to do it that way. Find a different way’ . . . And so they built and traded, making enough moves and free agent signings to stay above water at the major league level, but at the same time amassing six first-round draft picks from 2013-16 and holding onto precious top prospects Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Luis Severino. The fruits of Cashman’s plan ripened last season when, led by those same players, they finished one win shy of the World Series. More than that, they did so while maintaining a farm system that jumped from 19th in the organizational talent rankings in 2015 to No. 2 this year. They made that leap even while graduating impact rookies Judge and Jordan Montgomery and trading four of the team’s top 10 prospects from 2017 to acquire pitching help down the stretch.

The team is really struggling to find an identity right now, and much of that is on the bullpen. There is no way the bullpen is going to be this bad for much longer. The offense also needs to get it full gear, but with players in and out of the line up all we can do is be patient. We know Stanton will hit more consistently than he has. Seems all the breaking stuff that the opposition is throwing at him is working well. In time, there will be plenty of hangers for him to hammer...And Sanchez won't remain the black hole he's been much longer. When he comes out of this slump, I would say the pitchers better be looking out...

Didi's OBP is unreal at this point... Remember when I was sure he couldn't hit 20 HRs in a season?  Now anything less than 30 would be a disappointment. |
