Yanks are bringing up Jacob Lindgren tomorrow. All he has done in the minors is flat fricking dominate, thus it is about time. He should have made the roster out of ST, but the Yanks might finally be worrying about clocks. This should give the Yanks a three headed monster pen, should they ever get a lead and want to protect it again -- or keep the other team from growing their lead -- which would also be a switch.
Lindgren was a second round pick last year - the Yanks first. Imagine where they'd be now if they had kept there three first rounders. No Beltran, no McCann and no Ellsworth. They probably wouldn't have had their surprising start, but we'd be watching kids get better instead of vets decline.

Let events force them to go young.
No faith in this front office to do what needs to be done and bench the guys with big contracts who are underperforming. Nothing but thumb twiddling and a head-in-the-sand approach as they continue to trot Beltran, Drew and Headley out there every single day.
This will be my last post on the Yankees until the front office proves me otherwise. Guess I'll have to start following the Giants much more closely now.
Happy for Lindgren BTW. I hope for his sake he impresses immediately; otherwise, he'll be banished to mop-up duty with this bunch in charge.
So it's me and ...
Uh oh.
LOL, since Phil will likely deleted Anonymous the Troll's posts from now on, I can role play for you if you'd like.
"Something something something trade for Hamels and Utley something something Gregorius is excellent something something prospects suck."
Seriously without Mike I guess it's Rangers Giants and the other MSG tenants.
Optimistic Yankee fans can rejoice!
At least stay tuned to the system. The draft's in two weeks, the short season teams will start and we'll see last year's all star IFA's, and the system promotions should start (low A to high A etc.) any day now.
Yeah, I'll probably discuss the system still and wish the guys who earn promotions a "good luck" but that's about it.

This is a crucial draft because of the IFA restrictions that are coming up.
Btw, these Yanks sort of remind me of the `87 Yanks who started out okay, but had Rick Cerrone pitching quite a bit by mid season.
Why is he so rarely willing to do this for the position players and starting pitchers the Yankees draft?
Gregorius has an option and the Yankees could send him down, move Drew to short and promote Rob Refsnyder. But Cashman said, “I have no problem dealing with the growing pains of a player that has the upside that Didi has.”

Earlier in the season, I watched a lot of games for the first time in years. I won't be doing that any time soon.
For example, when Mike mentioned Didi, I didn't know what he was referring to. I looked at the box score on my phone and saw he hit another HR. It wasn't until this morning that I found out about his great defensive instincts.
I am ok with playing Grego, but Slade, Refs, and Mitchell should be here too, receiving the same patience
Until that happens I will only follow the team on my phone.
The only team I care about that is currently playing is the Rangers.
Gonna break my vow of silence to wish everyone a happy Bernie Williams day.
Another break of my vow to celebrate Lindgren's debut. Fastball 90-91 with that nice slider we heard about.
Also, Slade was 2-for-5 with his first big-league HR.
Good for the kids.
