Severino Stifles Sox
Oh, and Judge had a big day, hitting a two run jack, then making a circus catch before later walking and singling. Bird hit a rocket off the wall, but was held to first as it drove judge in for the third and final run. He also took a walk.
Betances offered another layer of filth over Severino's, but Chapman was off, giving up a run, and facing the go ahead run before K'ing his way out of a full meltdown.
Tanaka against Sale tomorrow. So I expect Joe will start Carter over Bird...

As I've said previously, his continued positive development takes the sting off losing Kap to TJS a bit.
Mike K makes a good point, especially given Montgomery's performances to date. We have to remember that prospects are all rolls of the dice. If you develop them well, they become more favorable rolls of the dice. If we get one stud and a solid mid-rotation guy out of Sheffield, Abreu, Adams, Acevedo, Clarkin, Kap, et al., we should be very happy.
What's a bigger role of the dice, prospects, especially highly rated ones, or veterans over like 34? I honestly don't know the answer, but I would always go with prospects, again especially high ceiling ones
I'm no fan of over the hill vets either. Usually you're paying premium bucks for their performance for their prior team. I like prospects, too, and agree that you have to build your core by developing prospects. All I was saying is that not every prospect is going to work out, so you do what the Yankees have done and try to get multiple strong prospects for every position and hope that one is the real deal.
In this age of analytics and a Yankee recommitment over the last 10 years to building both state of the art scouting, analytics and sports science departments, the dice can be pretty loaded as we've seen. And though they've yet to "develop" another Andy, ever since about Phelps, we haven't called up any truly crappy pitchers, like Alex Gramman and others proved to be in the depths of the dry streak.
Ace.
Huge to take two in Boston.
Judge.
Ells.
I am loving this.
Most fun I've had following the Yankees since Girardi got tossed in Atlanta in '09.
