Hal Steinbrenner is excited to see what an influx of young players will bring to the New York Yankees over the final weeks of a lost season and also hinted that changes could be coming to how the team utilizes analytics.
The Yankees will officially call up top prospects Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells on Friday when rosters expand from 26 to 28.
\"We\'ll learn a lot in September and we\'ll learn a lot in the spring,\" Steinbrenner said. \"That\'s why I didn\'t want to trade these guys away at the trade deadline. We\'ve traded away too many guys the last few years. So, I think it will be exciting.\"
The Yankees (65-69) are in danger of having their streak of 30 consecutive winning seasons end this year.
\"We\'re going to take a very deep dive into everything we\'re doing,\" Steinbrenner said. \"We\'re looking to bring in possibly an outside company to really take a look at the analytics side of what we do. Baseball operations in general. We\'re going to have some very frank conversions with each other. This year was obviously unacceptable.\"
