bp's capsule on didi gregorius:
So good on defense that he could teach a class on it, Gregorius failed to crack league average on offense once again. While his glovework is unquestioned, his inability to contribute on offense is why he opened the season No. 2 on Arizona’s shortstop depth chart. You have to respect how gifted he is around the bag, and his ability to do the jump throw like he’s shooting baskets. Those traits will keep him in the game for a long time, but unless or until he can be within shouting distance of “tolerable” on offense, he should be a backup. Not a “my way or the highway” type player, Gregorius should continue to progress under the tutelage of New York’s coaching staff. He will work well as a defense-minded bench player who is a bit handicapped in the batter’s box.

AN A-BOMB FROM A-ROD

@BenBadlerHere's what every team spent on international amateurs in 2014. Yankees spent more than the bottom 10 teams combined: http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2014-international-spending-team
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 17:03 (nine years ago) link
I take that spending international amateurs isn't a good bet, then.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 19:07 (nine years ago) link
seems like a very good bet, actually. for half a-rod's salary, they signed a staggering 10 out of the top 30 (and four of the top 10!) international players available for the 2014-2015 signing period.
they are wildly outspending everyone else on the margins -- young international free agents and quad-a players -- and while it can't help them overcome years of expensive old ppl at the mlb level, it seems like a pretty savvy long-term plan.
