    Notes from the Sally is a terrific site not just for fans of teams which have a farm club there, but should be for all fans. Writer is a fan who breaks down everything and goes into much detail, must see an awful lot of Sally games to have so much pertinent info on the league’s players and prospects.

    I don’t think the Yanks are focused on moving either Headley or Gardner. I would think the Braves would jump on getting Headley even offering a better prospect and a stopgap level replacement.

      I’m one of those Yankee fans who knows we are not ready until 2019 so I think we should absolutely deal Headley to braves if they are interested and also look into dealing Tanaka if he is willing to waive no trade.
      Any Yankee fan who thinks we should send whatever it takes to get Quintana is clueless because Quintana is not an ace and he will not change the fact that the Yankees while competitive and can win 85-86 games making it interesting are not where the Red Sux, Indians, and the 2 Texas teams are. Heck they aren’t as good yet as Toronto.
      Our window is 2019.
      Headley, Gardner, Castro, Tanaka, Pineda, CC, Elsbury if anyone will take him after we eat a chunk of money and he waives his no trade, and even Didi should be dealt for the right return.
      I don’t think any prospects like Frazier, Rutherford , Torres, or Kap should be dealt until we know who is worth keeping prior to 2019 free agent class.

    How does Torres look as a SS? I see that they’re suggesting he is developed as a 3B and I don’t know much about how he looks defensively so I’m curious
