If I was Hal Steinbrenner, I'd be disappointed in the poor job the Yankee development team has done in producing high quality prospects.

Maybe if he was bigger and more imposing he would be ranked higher. I hope he just stays healthy and gets his innings in for 2021. |

One of our better pitching prospects. He turns 22 in May.

Check out the player comps: No pressure here. No kidding. At least, he’s got Babe Ruth to look up to. Just thinking... how many home runs are “possible” in a 162 game season? With or without PEDs, or some other enhancement, could someone hit 90? 100?. I have my doubts that could ever happen. The one thing the Bonds debacle taught us is that if someone hits 73, the pitchers and opposing manager are going to simply stop pitching to them. For that reason, I think the record, if broken in the future will not be broken by much, so I would go with 73-75. It’s about as high as it will ever be... |

I think I’m going to go ahead and announce it. I am officially retiring from MLB as of this moment. I want to than all of my “fan” for following me for all of these years in my quest for a roster spot on the New York Yankees. I limited myself to one team, which may have deprived me of opportunities, but I have no regrets... |

Though it is painful to admit, I’ve never seen any MLB player as locked in as HGH-Steriod Barry Bonds in 2004. That was three seasons after he hit 73 home runs. In 2004, Bonds walked 232 times. He was walked with the bases loaded! It was like a video game. He just didn’t miss hittable pitches, and rarely saw any. It was otherworldly. Even with the “enhancements.” |
