Re: Newspaper story on Yorman

Quote:
There is zero chance that Yorman ranks anywhere near "outside of the top 10" for me unless he finds himself in Jail before my rankings come out. Maybe I am crazy, but from a pure tools perspective, no one on that Dragons roster is on the same level as him.
At this point, I'd probably put him around 10. His issues may be reparable, but they do appear to be significant. It seems the organization has given him plenty of slack so far. I doubt that extends into next season.

Still, yes, he could explode into a tremendous prospect and be the #1 guy in the organization at this time next year.

This is about where I'd have him too. He's not a top 5 guy anymore, that's for sure. But youth is on his side and I really hope he gets his issues straightened out.

Re: Newspaper story on Yorman

prior to the injury, Yorman was really starting to put things together. Radio guys indicated his efforts out in the field had improved, and his bat was heating up. Its a shame he couldn't finish out the season, I wonder if he'll repeat Dayton next year, or at least start there and work his way up to A+.

I thought I read he was suppose to start his rehab down in arizona, but never noticed him in a game. Is he coming back at all this year, or is he being shut down?

He is shut down. He went to Arizona and his shoulder wasn't getting any better.
