Yankees have given up on Banuelos

[cagedlion]

traded to Atlanta for two question marks. I remember when
this guy was "untouchable".......I guess two TJ surgeries
changes everything.

I apologize for the error. Mea culpa.

...we were talking about this deal a day or 2 ago.

...IMO, the Yanx actually got the better end of the deal this time.

Maybe, for now. Then again, if those pitchers acquired from Atlanta especially this Carpenter guy turn out to be gas cans........

...meh...Atlanta didn't exactly hit the jackpot with Betances.


...edit; Banuelos, not Betances.

You have to think that Atlanta feels that their coaching staff can polish this diamond in the rough. Braves organization has a better track record developing pitching, historically speaking. That and sometimes guys just need a change of venue. I hope Betances becomes the pitcher he was speculated to be. He wouldn't be the first to be dealt and blossom elsewhere.

...lol...I meant to say Banuelos...I was going from what the OP said. He must have gotten the names mixed up too.

They were lucky to hit it big with one of the three Bs. We know that track record of that sort of thing in baseball. Years ago the Mets had all three big pitching propects bust out on them. Hopefully he does have some success in Atlanta.

Wow...been a while since I saw a Killer Bs reference. Had to go look up to see whatever happened to Andrew Brackman.
