Tampa Yankees’ second baseman Nick Solak named to MLBPipeline’s Prospect Team of the Week

By -
In a farm system stacked with talent at the upper-levels, a Tampa Yankee earned the spotlight today. Second baseman Nick Solak, who is the Yankees 18th prospect according to MLB.com, was given the nod as the top Minor League second baseman of last week by MLBPipeline. Solak had videogame-like numbers, in a week’s span, as hit .545 with three extra base-hits, nine runs scored, seven RBIs, and four stolen bases in six games.

Solak was a second-round pick in 2016 from Louisville. He is quickly rising through the Yankees’ system and is overall putting together a very solid season. He is slashing .309/.411/.441 with eight stolen bases through the team’s first 69 games. He is second in the Florida State League in OBP and is sixth among players in batting average.

If he continues this up it would not be surprising to see him promoted to Double-A by the season’s end and rise through the power rankings among Yankee prospects. Solak was ranked 29th on the BBB’s prospect rankings.

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
