Weekly Prospects Check In: Justus Sheffield

The New York Yankees have a new arm to salivate over and his name is Justus Sheffield. Justus sure knows how to make an entrance and introduction to his new team, doesn’t he? After being traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Yankees in the Andrew Miller deal Sheffield was assigned to the High-A Tampa Yankees. The 20-year old made a pretty damn good first impression with his new club striking out 11 batters in six innings of work including one run allowed, two hits and a walk.

Not bad for a guy who wasn’t even the centerpiece in the deal, huh? But yeah, fire Brian Cashman.
