The short term answer to a vacancy at 2nd might be on the roster. Berti is under control as an arb player for next year and could be the starter if the Yankees choose to save money for Soto. I am not sure if I love the idea, but I do see it as a potential move.

Re Gleyber...when he was at his offensive nadir at the end of June, you said he'd have to hit .290 over the rest of the year to end up around .250 for the season. Good call...that's exactly what he's done. |

Good call...that's exactly what he's done. And I’m only mildly surprised he’s gotten there… He’s turned the year into a “mild” off season, instead of a personal disaster. I admire him for that, hence my desire to accommodate him… |

I’m hoping Durbin and Rice are a part of the parent club… IMO Chisholm has looked very good at 3B...should get even better with more work there. 2B is Durbin's "best" position. Your suggestion of moving Gleyber to 1B is interesting. He's relatively consistent against both RHP/LHP...more power vs LHP. So, where would that leave Rice? Suppose he could backup Wells, but both LH bats. IMO a guy like rice allows you to carry 3 catchers and have flexibility Vs a RHP ... Wells could catch, Rice could be the LH DH or 1B and have a 3rd RH C on the bench Gleyber at 1B is interesting ... but he said he's a 2nd baseman |

Risky move...swapping Gleyber's bat for Rice. LHB @ league min vs RHB at $10M plus for multiple years? ... not that risky |

The construct of next years team will start with whether or not Soto resigns and then let the chips fall where they may. If he does, I doubt there will be enough money to resign Torres. Yanks will have other inhouse options at second, such as Berti, Jazz, Peraza or someone like Durbin. Berti and Jazz are both better at second than at third. Of course, Jazz has only played there this season. Both have speed, which the Yankees sorely need in the lineup. Peraza is Peraza. A one time top prospect, he really hasn't hit enough to justify a position, and the Yankees haven't exactly shown him a lot of love lately. I think he is traded as part of a package. Durbin is a wild card. He doesn't show up on anyone's Top 30 list, but I love a guy who has a 9.9 % K rate.
Will the Yankees move Torres to first? I doubt it. If they resign him, it will probably mean he will stick at second. Third may be a better option, but that depends on whether or not he is willing to move.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Posting the farm report is a labor of love and I'm more than happy to do it. I'm working on a short review (not a jwild tome) of this past minor league season and will post my thoughts from time to time.

I am not sure if I love the idea, but I do see it as a potential move. Can't keep them down forever. Durbin will be 25 going into ST. Just remembering that Cashman traded for Jorbit Vivas. If the Yankees are going to go young and inexpensive that is another name in the mix for the 2nd base job. His numbers don't jump off the chart but gets on base and someone in the organization must like him, |

I don't think he's that high on their list. |

How hard would it have been to get the guy into one game so he became a major leaguer? |
