July 31, 201511 yr 20 year old SS... Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 80 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 Teams started asking about Mateo in trade talks shortly after he made his U.S. debut last June. He played in just 15 games before a pitch broke his left wrist, but that was long enough for him to draw comparisons to Jose Reyes. One club official said Mateo has the highest ceiling of any Yankees middle-infield prospect since Derek Jeter. Mateo's top-of-the-scale speed is his standout tool, allowing him to run wild on the bases and cover plenty of ground at shortstop. He's not just a slappy hitter, as he has the wiry strength to drive balls into the gaps. He needs to make more consistent contact but shows a willingness to draw walks. When Mateo signed for $225,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2012, there were some concerns about his arm strength. It has improved significantly and now rates as a plus, and there's no reason he should have to move off shortstop.

July 31, 201511 yr Author @jonHeymanCBS: word is, houston ownership is interested in chapman. they also are on kimbrel. seek back-end pen help.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @BNightengale: The price tag is high on #Reds Chapman, but with 5 teams involved, and three seriously, someone should meet their demands
July 31, 201511 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 39s40 seconds ago More on Kimbrel: Now told #Yankees’ talks for him broke down yesterday and have not revived today. #Marlins’ Capps an option, as others say.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @buster_ESPN: There haven't been Craig Kimbrel discussions between the Padres and Yankees so far in this workday.
July 31, 201511 yr Just said on ESPN 1530 that the Astros are the front-runners for Chapman...Interesting.
July 31, 201511 yr Just said on ESPN 1530 that the Astros are the front-runners for Chapman...Interesting. Who do they have besides Reed?
July 31, 201511 yr Author @jcrasnick: Hearing the Jay Bruce talks may have lost momentum. #Reds having second thoughts about #Mets trade package.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @jonmorosi: Industry waiting on #Padres . They're talking with Astros. They're talking with Yankees. They have 3-team scenarios going. Tick tock.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @BNightengale: The #Mets concerns with #Reds Bruce is not only his salary, but vast inconsistencies at the plate.
July 31, 201511 yr Who do they have besides Reed? They are stacked with prospects. I really like Derek Fisher and Tony Kemp if I had to name two for the Reds to get.
