3B Dermis Garcia and RHP Frank German jumped into MLB.com’s top 30 Yankees prospects list after IF Abi Avelino and RHP Juan De Paula were sent to the Giants in the Andrew McCutchen trade. The scouting report notes German, this year’s fourth rounder, has already seen his velocity jump from 90-95 mph in college this spring to 94-98 mph with the Yankees this summer. Huh.
