Yanks Greg Bird EL Player of the Week

Recently promoted Greg Bird has already won a player of the week award.  Nice.   Bird, like Cave before him, had an ofer or two before going wild at the new level  Bird is exactly the kind of patience and pop guy the Yanks should be stocked with.  His defense has gotten better and better at the hot corner, too.  He was a Catcher when the Yanks drafted him, like Tyler Austin.    Sad to think he too might be blocked by McCann.  Probably not, though.   He's too good.    But it's great to see all the progress on the farm this year.

UPDATE:  And just as we feel good about the farm, the Yanks promote Leroux and send down Bryan Mitchell.
