Phelps is more trade-bait than anything else. But even that is a positive for a guy drafted late who was never expected to amount to anything. I hope he can be part of deal that brings the Yankees something they need and then goes on to a solid career in AAAA, otherwise known as the National League.

@ Evan3457:
Agreed. I’m not sure I see it either so perhaps it was more of a nitpick.

Either way, I included Phelps in the write-up simply because BA did too.

@ Brent:
Not Phelps. I could see Montero getting the same kind of call-up that Miranda got in 2008/2009 whereby he comes up to soak in the atmosphere, hang around and maybe get a few AB’s in (hopefully) meaningless late-September games. But, no, I don’t see Montero being absolutely called up. I think the Yanks would really rather not entertain Montero as part of the team conversation until next spring.

I see the K/BB data uptick, but I don’t see how Phelps’ work before June 1st could be fairly described as “early-season struggles”.

Do you see September call-ups for these two?
