Talking about that former catcher/LFer Dean just struck out, it reminds me of when they stuck Mickey Tettleton in the outfield at the end of his career. Never saw that coming but it happened.

He's still a catcher, unfortunately Perez seems immortal so they had to find somewhere to put him. He's plenty good enough to catch still.

    • Baseball America 10 players to watch in the Florida Complex League. Joshua Liranzo, 3B, Orioles It’s no secret that Baltimore’s system is loaded with prospects, especially at the upper levels. Liranzo, however, might be flying under the radar a little bit. The younger brother of Dodgers prospect Thayron Liranzo stands out for his excellent defense at third base, feel for the game and high baseball IQ. He showed power potential in the DSL last season as well, with six doubles and five home runs. Liranzo’s approach needs work, but he has the upside of a third baseman with skills on both sides of the ball.
    • Yankees overrated? I’m shocked.    I was also not impressed and I’ve been pretty confident their April was a mirage. 
    • Judge is gonna turn it around. Cole is coming back. They’ll undoubtedly make a big move by the deadline. The Yankees won’t be going anywhere. It was good to get 3 out of 4 while they're not firing on all cylinders.    Orioles bullpen is very shaky. I can’t predict a division title unless some changes happen.

    • Doesn’t sound good.  Still undergoing tests?   
    • My take away is the Yankees are who I thought they were. They are a team with an excellent pitching staff, but a very inconsistent (feast or famine) offense.  Their lineup lacks depth and is very top heavy - first five good, last four not so much.  I will say that another couple of things that stood out to me are: 1) How bad Judge looks now. I don’t ever remember him having a prolonged month-long slump like this before. That is easily probably the worse series that he has had against us. 2) Another thing that stood out to me is how unafraid/unimpressed that our guys seemed to be going up against them. I think the Orioles to a man know they have the superior team. Overall, the Yankees have a good playoff caliber team that should win in the low to mid 90’s and qualify for a wildcard birth. I just think the Orioles are a 100+ win team. The big differences between the two teams are - defense, depth, and athleticism.
    • I wasn't real impressed with their lineup before the series and I'm not real impressed afterwards. Soto and Judge are very good (I'm pretty confident Judge will get it going).  The rest are either washed up or middling young guys. The pitching staff and BP in particular are very good. Their defense was a mess this series but could just be a fluke. I think the O's are better top to bottom but the Yankees pitching is very good and they'll make a good run at it just because of that.
