Nice crop this year and nice to see the Yankees have a couple nice rookies in Sevey & Bird.

Yep -

Severino has to cut down on his BB.
He's averaging more than 3 per 9 inn.
This is holding him back from going deeper in games.
However, it's not as if he's wild and out of control. He always seems to be in charge and has great poise. Maybe that's just his "style". (?)

Bird has to cut down on his Ks and continue to use the whole field.
Maybe I'm mistaken but it looks as if he's trying to pull the ball too much.

Otherwise - the kids are "okay" .....still learning the ropes.

GO YANKS!
