Joel Sherman is legit so yeah that's that

Not much on his stuff but definitely improves after acclimating. Striking out a ton this year.

3.67 ERA and 11.8/Ks in High A will work for me. Nice box score return at least.

Carela is a damn steal.  I have Carela at 178.  Definitely feels like a fleecing lol.  Great work Hahn

They're going to manage to keep Hahn from spending another $40-50 million with all these relief arms added...should have also gotten that Sampson kid the Cubs quietly dealt.

Sorry I posted this in wrong thread. Meant to write this in Luis Patino thread

https://www.baseballamerica.com/players/16765-juan-carela/

Carela 29th ranked Yankees' prospect...from the Dominican.  Six years younger than Burger.

Was once described as having Micker Adolfo light tower power.

 

Hahn couldn't go for more than an hour without another DH to replace Burger Grandal and likely Sheets.

Since no one is going to tell you, he’s a pitcher bud

This is good.  Lottery ticket is what you want in this situation.

Aside from the aforementioned light-tower power, fangraphs had a little note on him saying he has plus-plus ability to spin the ball and a fastball around 92.

This is fine

Yeah for me that is a red flag because there is a major difference between throwing SL and CH for swinging strikes in the ML vs MLB working off an average FB

Here is his MLB.com scouting report

Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 45 | Overall: 40 

The Yankees zeroed in on Carela in the Dominican Republic because of his projectability, and his fastball jumped from the upper 80s to the low 90s just before he signed for $335,000 in July 2018. He touched 96 mph during the Dominican Summer League that fall, but he posted a 6.90 ERA in his first two pro seasons. He finally found success when he threw more strikes in Single-A last year, though his control regressed following a promotion to High-A in August. 

Carela employs two versions of a fastball, ranging from 90-96 mph with a sinking two-seamer and a riding four-seamer. He also has two sliders: a low-80s sweeper that the Yankees favor and a traditional slide piece with tighter break in the mid-80s. The sweeper has more upside than any of his pitches, though he falls in love with it too much. 

Carela's mid-80s changeup lags behind the rest of his pitches and could use more life and velocity separation from his fastball. One of the more athletic pitchers in the system, he has a clean arm action and should be able to locate his offerings better than he has. His ability to improve his control and command will determine whether he becomes a No. 4 starter vs. a slider-happy reliever. 

 

By the sounds of things he maybe someone who needs to move to the bullpen to see if he can gain a cpl of miles on his fastball

That is a terribly written scouting report from someone who apparently is overwhelmed and lost with their job
