I remember a lot of analysts and scouts saying during SECT it was possible he could be in the Bigs by Sept this year. I'm sure injury wasn't the foresight but maybe accurate nonetheless. That would be badass.Quote:

Yankees are 5 GB in the AL East right now. They're also 1 GB in the AL Wildcard.Quote:

The Yankees are not going to worry about his clock like other teams because they don't care about spending money.Quote:
