The Trenton Thunder announced today that lefty STEVE GARRISON has been called up from their AA affiliate.

He’s not here right now, there’s no locker with his name, and the Yankees haven’t announced move, but I’m sure the Trenton website is correct.

I think you're using the term "prospect" a little loosely.

Agreed. And actually, what caught my attention about this (and what I find peculiar about this) is that the Yankees are a contending team, right on the heels of the Red Sox, and this fellow that they are calling up has VERY BAD numbers at the AA-level this season. This appears to be much more of an Oriole-like move than a Yankee-like move. That's why I posted the link to his baseball-reference page in addition to the story itself. We'll see what happens.

Well, I think it would have been a good idea to put this in your OP for some context as to why there would be a thread about this. I'd assume this is a very short-term move, a couple of days at the most.

OK. Thanks, Frank.

      Orioles Cannot be Complacent -- Look at History

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I’ve been basing my projections on what we have internally, and we still do have resources. But I am totally comfortable with making some trades to balance out the ML roster. I still think we’re deep in position players, but swinging some trades for more proper defense or righthandedness has my full support. I really just hope we unclog the log jam. This year was weird with the prospects we needed to trade away or find ABs for because they were done at AAA. I’d like to see us try to get most of that done in the offseason.

      The Royals

      Great SI article here: https://www.si.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles-golden-generation-loses-luster-loss-kansas-city-royals Sums it up for me.  Royals didn't even pitch all that well.  We just royally (pardon the pun) sucked.

      I hear good questions all the time. The huge problem I see is the complete absence of pointed follow-up questions. It’s just going through the motions if that’s the case.

      Yes, the K rate was bad but people seem to forget he was a rookie this year and was still one of the best rookies in all of baseball.  He has a lot of talent, and I expect him to improve his walk rate and production next year even though he'll probably still strike out a ton.  I also hope that with a full year under his belt he won't press as much in pressure situations and improve his terrible RISP stats.  Then again, we don't know what these hitting coaches are teaching these guys so we'll have to wait and see what happens next year...

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Maybe it's you that are not paying attention.  Elias has been holding prospects back so there are not too many of them breaking in at the same time for the last two seasons.

      Wait Till Next Year

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I think the playoffs not being attended angle is overplayed a bit. Last year we had Sat/Sun games in the ALDS. This year it was Tues/Wed afternoon games. I saw empty seats in Houston as well.

      In 2023 with runners in scoring position, on top of a .317 BABIP, they had a 10% BB rate (20th highest in the league) and a 18.7% K rate (2nd lowest in the league). Then, in 2024 with RISP, they had a 8.4% BB rate (28th in the league) and a 22.1% K rate (15th in the league).  So last year they put the ball in play more often and had better results when doing so. A good formula. BABIP has variance, but the BB% rate and K% rate feel like changes in approach that were going on all year long.
