    Probably because adams is 3 and 4 with a 4.89 era in triple a and sheffield is at least a year behind

    Every pitch from German is straight as shit. Zero movement. Minimal change of speeds. He’s a below average minor league pitcher. Why the fuck are we not seeing what our younger “gems” have at this point? It’s fucking retarded. We keep throwing shitty pitcher after shitty pitcher out there who are career bums and expect something to “click.” The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This franchise with their lack of pitching moves is insanity lol.

    And German is trash. Adams has been down in the minors for too long that I think it’s actually hindering his progress. He’s gotta be seeing the same shit we are. The Yankees keep putting this garbage out there and not giving him even a sniff. What’s the worse that happens? He does just as shitty as German???

    Far too long? First full year in AAA and only his fourth professional season.

    Spectacular Second half start, give up 3 to the visitors, strand two by the home team.

    He threw 21 games in AAA last year and only 6 at AA. And he was dominant. He started off slow this year but had been getting better later. At some point you have to call the kids up and give them a taste. I would be fine with him staying down there if we had legit pitchers. We have 3 legit pitchers and then it’s a shit show of crap for the remaining two. It does no harm to call him up and give him a taste and maybe he shows he’s got it. Worse case he doesn’t and looks like German. What’s the loss?

    No actually. Seve came up and had electric stuff just lacked command. Oh, and he was 22. German is 25.

    If this was a one time thing yes. He has consistently been a pitcher that has shown he can’t get it done. In his last 9 starts he’s given up multiple runs in the first inning 7 times.

    I’m not saying give up on him permanently. I’m simply sayin skip his turn in the rotation once and give a kid a chance. That’s all.

    He does. But he thinks they’ll be future all stars. I just want to see what the kids have compared to the shit we’ve been seeing as starting pitchers.

    Ok..all im sayin is he has had some real good games..the first inning issue is huge though somehow he needs to find a way to figure that out.

    Now if you want to say why are they giving cessa a chance over adams i would be right rhere with you.

    The only thing i can say is that neither you, i or anyone on this board has inside information on what is going on down in the minors. If he isnt ready he isnt ready.
