And there are those pesky Yankees again somehow, leading the division together with us. How rude. We will see how they fare over a whole season, but right now, they look like they can compete and rumor has it, they got around $15M to spend and a lot more next season when some veteran contracts including 1B Mark Teixeira(35, 2*, .119-0-3 .420OPS -0.3WAR $19.6M) run out.

Now, about us. The rookie bullpen sucks hard. Foxhoven and Soria have been great and Buchanan wasn’t embarrassing, but the rest… Vizcaino has a respectable 4.47FIP but the rest is around 5 or above… we won’t to big moves now as our AAA relief corps is now exactly setting the world on fire, but we hoped for an improvement over our 2014 pen, not a black hole that donates runs to opponents.

Now, positives. We are the best offense in Major League Baseball with 135 runs scored. Our two kids in Hatfield and Garcia have NOT crashed and burned to the ground and even Jake Marisnick managed to hit over .230. The only guy in trouble is Adeiny Hechavarria, but the highly touted AAA 2B Brad Finkbeiner(24, 2.5/3*) is only batting .217-2-7 .612OPS -0.4WAR in AAA right now… that is not going to cut it.

Starting pitching… Komosinski had a hell of a start and so had Noah Syndergaard, so we are good here. Archer is struggling quite a bit, but is save as we still think that his underlying talent is better than our #6 guy in Daniel Norris.

Minor League Report and Awards:
A RHSP Tommy Erikson(22, 1.5/4*) 3-0 0.98 15K 0.5WAR 18.1IP 3GS
Won Monthly Awards

Our AAA team is off to an abysmal 6-15 start and I am not surprised, the talent level is way lower than in 2014 or 2013. With most pitchers either promoted or busted (Snell and Giolito), the guy to watch here is LF Jesse Winker(21, 2/3.5*), batting .303-3-13 .947OPS 0.2WAR to start the year… his second year in AAA at a young age, but he is on the 40-man and could come into play later this year as a left-handed bat.

For relievers, the closest thing to an improvement could be RHRP Ricardo Maurer(21, 2.5/3*) who is 1-1 2.84 9K in 12.2IP, good for 0.3WAR. The 2012 2nd rounder has a lot of room for growth on his curveball tho, and being basically a 1-pitch fastball with a bad curve does not translate well in MLB I fear.

International Amateur Discovery Additions and Update:
LHSP Juan Hernandez(16, 3*) 50/50/50 with a 75 potential cutter and 65 stamina from New York Mets.
RHRP Dante Ramirez(16, 3*) 65/50/50 with a 80 potential curveball from Texas Rangers.
LHSP Jose Lamas(16, 3*) 55/50/50 with 65 potential, 93-95mph fastball, groundball pitcher from Chicago Cubs.

Depth.
