Weekly Prospect Check In: Aaron Judge

The New York Yankees youth movement is in full effect with the trades that came before the August 1^st trade deadline and now the recent announcements from Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez as both are walking away from the game. Now Teixeira will look to finish off the 2016 campaign on the field but Rodriguez will no longer be on the field come the weekend as he is set to unconditionally be released to join the front office with New York. When Alex is no longer on the team and no longer on the 40 man roster someone is going to have to come up and that someone may be Aaron Judge.

Right now it looks like the two main options for New York are Tyler Austin and Judge, although Chris Parmelee did just get sent on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A so you never know, and many fans are clamoring for the Judge. He’s been in Triple-A longer than Austin and his power and hype is unmatched right now in the Yankees farm system. Judgement Day is coming ladies and gentleman and it could be as soon as this weekend for New York.
