New York Yankees Top Prospects
Players headline the farm that they acquired through the Chapman and Miller trades. The likes of Clint Frazier, Gleyber Torres, and other top tier prospects have the Yankees looking set for the near future. The prospects at the top of the farm are superb, but the farm is not thin. The Yankees have some depth in multiple positions. The outfield is not a concern for them anytime soon players like Mason Williams, and Ben Gamel who are never going to make a huge impact in the majors are good players to fill in for an injury here and there.
Boston Red Sox Need Consistency From Xander Bogaerts in 2017
The Boston Red Sox had one of MLB’s most potent offenses during the 2016 season, which was made possible because of a relentless lineup.
Anchored by the insane final year of David Ortiz’s career, manager John Farrell also had the joy of having Dustin Pedroia, a resurgent Hanley Ramirez, out-of-nowhere production from Sandy Leon, a full-year breakout from Jackie Bradley Jr. and an MVP-caliber season from Mookie Betts on his lineup card each night.
He also watched a stellar season from his young shortstop in Xander Bogaerts.
After hitting just 7 home runs to go along with 35 doubles in 2015, he tapped into some of that power potential by slugging a career-high 21 over the fence this past year, while his doubles output basically remained the same (34). This was also accompanied by a decent uptick in OPS (.776 to .802).
Despite 2016 serving as a breakout of sorts for Bogaerts, it didn’t come without the frustration of a prolonged slump that began in the middle of June and carried through to the end of the regular season.
So, what happened?

I was discounting what they loved based on MY Nostalgia.
