Big Target?

The Yanks have now had a whole contingent of their upper level evaluators look at Yoenis Cespedes, the latest Cuban slugger to defect looking to make it in MLB. There's a lot of tape of him on youtube, and his swing will remind you over Willie Mays with some Sammy Sosa mixed in. He looks like a great athlete in the field, the the Yanks would have to use him in right. He's reportedly 26, so he could probably make the big league club fairly soon. He has also displayed a pretty good .80 separation between BA and OBP over his Cuban career, so he's not a wild swinger. Let's see if the Yanks go hard.

Acquire. Assets are good to collect.

Second the "acquire," especially if it means the Yankees could potentially flip Swisher for something useful.

26 years old (supposedly).

Should be assigned to AAA to see how he adjusts.

Pass
