Blake Treinen has converted three of four save chances, but he has been very shaky so far. If he can't right the ship, who might WAS turn to next? Plus a look at NYM/PHI closer situations, Swanson's early struggles in ATL and more.
While the Yankees transition to youth, old-timers like Jacoby Ellsbury still try to contribute to the cause. Also E. Santana, Beltran, Hammel, De. Norris.
We are almost two weeks into the minor league season, and many fans look for teams loaded with top-of-the-line prospects. Here are some teams in the lower minors worthy of a trip to your local ballpark.
Jarrett Parker made a terrific catch, but it will cost him some playing time. The trio of Chris Marrero, Gorkys Hernandez and Aaron Hill will fill in for now. Plus, updates on Martin Prado, Rich Hill, Marcus Semien, Zach Britton and more.
Alec Asher made a nice debut. Might he earn additional opportunities, perhaps at the expense of Ubaldo Jimenez. Also: Back woes for Holliday in NYY, Travis' travails in TOR, and questions on sixth starter in BOS and a buying opportunity in TAM.
Justin Upton had a rough start with DET in 2016, but he picked things up in the second half. Can he carry that momentum into 2017? Plus Hisashi Iwakuma, Evan Gattis, Santiago Casilla, and Danny Espinosa.
