Yanks Stand Pat

So, my team went to the MLB Trade Deadline, and all they got me was this Stupid Ackley!   Actually, I couldn't be much more relieved both for now and for the future of the team.   I viewed Ackley as an overpay, so I couldn't imagine what a real player would cost, and felt like the Yanks were at a disadvantage this trade season because four or more of their best prospects haven't been able to play this year.   I got chill when Mateo's name came up and did a spit-take when Wilkerman Garcia was mentioned.  Wilkerman is one of the big IFA's we landed last year and he's been performing stateside.   Anyway, the farm will only get more flush as the injured guys get back and the drafted players and new IFA's gain traction in their careers.

Going forward this year, there is still the waiver trade season to get through, but the Yanks do have usable, and indeed talented prospects at AAA.  It's been hard working these kids in under Girardi, but that's just what they'll have to do now.  It's time to DFA Ryan and call up Refsnyder.  Drew can be a defensive caddy and lefty pinch hitter.  As soon as it's possible, they should also recall Slade Heathcott.  And needless to say. Mitchell and Severino must be relied upon until they hit their limits. this has the makings of a really interesting run.
