Ugh. And Betances looked like he was ready two years ago.

It's worth a shot. He was pretty bad at AAA. His walks doubled per game. Something had to be done.

The kid was like a carbon copy of Brackman last year, with is command. This kid has too much talent and good stuff to be pitching like this. They've got to try anything to fix him at this point.

Totally agree. Beyond the obvious advantages of pitching at a lower level, this might be the kick in the ass he needs.

Brackman , I always felt he was never going to pan out but was certain the Yankees would benefit from Betances and Banuelos blossoming. At this point I'm hardpressed to think either will make a name for themselves at the major league level. Betances has no command and Banuelos always seems like he's hurt.
