Looked at Reyzelman's line. Looks like he has swing and miss stuff. It sure does look that way.
It would be excellent if the Yankees can solve their bullpen woes in house.

It’s going to At last be interesting to watch Abrahan Ramírez to see if he continues to stand out as he moves up the ladder. When you lead your league by 56 points, that’s impressive…And I’m assuming that since he’s age 19, he’s in an age appropriate setting as well… |

Bridgewater, New Jersey – Major League Baseball has announced that Somerset Patriots OF Spencer Jones and LHP Brock Selvidge have been selected to represent the American League in the 2024 All-Star Futures Game. The event will take place on Saturday, July 13th at Globe Field in Arlington, Texas.
Jones, the Yankees No. 2 prospect and MLB’s No. 65 prospect, is making his 2nd All-Star Futures Game appearance, having played in last year’s game in Seattle. He is currently hitting .252/.332/.420 with 43 R, 66 H, 13 2B, 9 HRs, 45 RBIs and 18 SB on the season. He is among the league leaders in SB (4th), RBI (5th) and R (7th).
Jones caught fire in the month of June, when he went 32-for-108 (.296/.355/.546) with 14 XBH, 6 HRs, 29 RBIs, 19 R and 59 TB. His 29 RBIs, 14 XBH and 59 TB led all Eastern League batters in June, while his 29 RBI tied for the most of any MiLB hitter during the month (Sean Whitcomb, SUG, HOU).
He was recently named the Eastern League Player of the Week for games played from 6/24 – 6/30 when he went 9-for-27 (.333) with 3 HRs, 12 RBIs, 5 R, and 7 XBH. For that week, he led the Eastern League in RBI, XBH, HRs, H, 2B (4), and TB (22). On 6/30, Jones went 4-for-5 with 2 HRs, 7 RBIs, BB and 3 R. His 7 RBI tied a Somerset Double-A franchise record.
Jones returned to Somerset in 2024 off a red-hot spring training, where he had received an invite to Yankees MLB camp and slashed .444/.583/.722 with 7 R, 8 H, 2 2B, a HR, a 2B and 4 RBIs in 12 games. He starred in MLB’s inaugural Spring Breakout game between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays prospects. In the game, Jones went 3-for-4 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs. He was awarded the 2024 James P. Dawson Award given annually to the most outstanding Yankees rookie in spring training.
Jones has spent 3 Minor League seasons in the Yankees organization (2022-24), hitting .271/.345/.447 with 135 R, 48 2B, 6 3B, 29 HRs, 123 RBIs, 90 BB and 73 SB in 207 games. In 2023, he hit .267 (128-for-480) with 71 R, 29 2B, 4 3B, 16 HRs, 66 RBIs, 49 BB and 43 SB in 117 combined games with High-A Hudson Valley and Double-A Somerset.

SPB- Brock Selvidge
Selvidge, the organization’s No. 10 prospect, is currently 7-5 with a 3.95 ERA and 80 strikeouts over 79.2 innings pitched in 15 games started this season. He ranks among the league leaders in W (T-3rd) SO (6th), IP (T-8th).
He was assigned to Somerset after an electric starting performance in the Spring Breakout game in which he struck out eight and allowed a hit over four scoreless innings pitched.
Selvidge combined for an 8-5 record with a 3.45 ERA and 137 strikeouts over 127.2 innings pitched in 24 games (23 starts) for Single-A Tampa and High-A Hudson Valley.

When you lead your league by 56 points, that’s impressive…And I’m assuming that since he’s age 19, he’s in an age appropriate setting as well… DSL and FCL numbers are generally a little screwed up because of the ages of players. Joel Mendez is raking for the Yankees in the FCL, but he's 21. Brian Sanchez too, but he turns 20 tomorrow. Ramirez turns 20 in October and is 8 months older than George Lombard Jr. Lombard did well in a short stint in the FCL last season, but until recently, he's struggled in Tampa. Last season, one MLB scout said the Yankee's FCL team was the most talented he had ever seen but a lot of those players in Tampa have not done well with the exception of Enmanuel Tejeda. Tejeda won't be twenty until Christmas Day. |

I know people dont want to switch Gleyber mid season and that makes sense if he was playing good at 2nd ... but he's not. Maybe the change will at least wake up his bat Also Gleyber is probably not going to be here next season ... you have to see what you have in Vivas |

its Vivas time ...this guy can hit Can he play third base, because that's the Yankees biggest position need. He plays 2nd and 3rd base, but this season it's mostly second, by a 2-1 margin. He has yet to make an error at third this season, but that's in only 75 innings, while last year he had 6 errors in 93 innings. That's a .813 fielding %. In 2022, he made 11 errors in 275 innings to the tune of a .841 FP. Can he play third base? Yes, but until this season, not very well. Scranton's primary 3rd baseman is Jeter Downs. He has a little pop, but also a .242 lifetime minor BA and a .913 fielding % at third this season. Downs did have a cup of coffee for the Red Sox in 2022 but did nothing. He's not coming to the rescue. |

He's not coming to the rescue. Jeter Downs AAA stats scare me because I think the Yankees will look at them and think it's real ... His #'s are a product of AAA not Jeter Downs I think those fake numbers will get him here before Vivas who is a much better hitter |
