Vogelbach with 2 HR's so far today through 4 innings.

He's got 5 now.  Hit 7 all last season.  Half his XBH are HR's, 5HR/5 doubles. 
His GO/AO ratio is 3.0 entering today.  You'd think for a big, strong guy like that, some adjustment to try to get the ball in the air more might be a priority.  Perhaps when he does, he kills them, so almost all grounders end up as outs, and most balls in the air either go over the wall or go for line-drive hits? 

Vogelbach slash line now at 337-417-547--pretty good for a first-time AAA guy who is age-appropriate for the level. Think maybe real trade bait at trade deadline. Yankees?

We getting Castro back?

Edwards has sequenced 4 outings/innings without a walk.  (Had 3 the inning before that....)

Almora now with 61 ABs without a walk.

Vogelbach, Edwards, Johnson and Torres for Andrew Miller.

Vogelbach, Edwards, Johnson and Torres for Andrew Miller.

I'm not sure if the Yankees will sell him or not. If he does go on the market with 2 1/2 years of control that is likely not enough to get him.  The Cubs would likely be better off trading for Chapman, I'm not sure I'd want him on the team. I generally hate the idea of trading a lot of value for a reliever, especially an expensive one.

We getting Castro back?

Actually, there's a good argument that Castro has been Yankees best position player so far this season. Good for him.
