A team official confirmed a report from Jon Morosi that the Yankees have
added outfielder Jordan Parraz off waivers from Boston.
Parraz never actually played in the Red Sox system. He was claimed off
waivers from the Royals last month, and when Boston took him off their 40-man
roster, the Yankees grabbed him.
Baseball American ranked Parraz as the Royals No. 19 prospect entering last
season. The magazine described him as a “gap-to-gap hitter with
below-average usable power.” His best tool is his arm, “which rates as a 70
on the 20-80 scouting scale.” Last year was his first full season in
Triple-A, and he hit .266 with 11 home runs and 27 doubles in the
hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
Nothing to get too worked up about, but the Yankees are thin on outfielders
in the upper levels, and a guy like Parraz could play a role similar to what
Chad Huffman, Colin Curtis or Greg Golson did this year.
Plus he has a cool last name. Parraz. I don’t even know how to say it, but I
like it.
