Comments on: Baseball America’s Top 10 Yankee Prospects http://riveraveblues.com/2009/12/baseball-americas-top-10-yankee-prospects-21362/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:34:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: sleepykarl http://riveraveblues.com/2009/12/baseball-americas-top-10-yankee-prospects-21362/#comment-722391 sleepykarl Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:00:57 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=21362#comment-722391 If Gardner is gonna crack that lineup everyday, I would assume that he developed into the solid obp guy he has shown in the minors. If he where to do that, I would think that he would seem like the prototypical leadoff guy that the CWS and KC where looking for.

Guy misses over a year due to TJ surgery and struggles his first year in the minors, therefore he will never be good. Kinda similar to the Joba logic, he struggled in the second half of his first full year in the rotation, therefore he will not be a good starter. Bo has yet to make an informed opinion, therefore he never will. They should get rid of Slade, as he was 1-10 in rookie ball last year. Why spend the next years of trying to develop that?

Given how weak the list is after Montero, he’d have to be either #1 or #2. I’d say #2, since Montero is far more proven. I wonder where Aroldis Chapman would be on BA’s list, should we sign him.

At age 22 in predominately A-ball ( he was demoted from high A after 13 innings) he had much worse numbers than Brackman put up this year. He had a WHIP to the tune of 2.05 and a K/BB ratio of .6 (not to mention 47 Ks in 75 innings) not to mention other various awful stats. So while none of that is something good to say about Brackman per se, it hits the point that most everyones exceptional hate of the Brackman draft choice is so far unnecessary and you need to give it a little more time until it is dubbed a failure.
