Green doesn’t get a lot of fan fare, but the guy has just put up numbers down in AAA for the Yankees so far this season. If (and it’s probably a big IF with how the Yankees operate) they start selling pieces, Green could find himself on the big league roster again this season and maybe for more than a start like earlier this season.
Green was the other pitcher the Yankees got in the deal with the Detroit Tigers during the off-season for Justin Wilson. Green doesn’t have the big strikeout numbers like Glasnow, but he’s turned that up a notch lately with 11 and nine punchouts in two of his last three starts and is seventh in the International League in strikeouts.
Green has pitched in two games at the major league level with not much success, but you can’t judge a player on five innings.
He leads the International League in ERA with a 1.54 ERA. He’s allowed less hits and walks combined (80) than innings (81.2). Another impressive part to his season is that’s he allowed more than two earned runs in only one start. Green is a sinker/slider kind of pitcher which will play at Yankee Stadium.
