Green was a regular player on Fangraph's Fringe Five. He was brought up for a cup of coffee. Here is the FF comment:
Now 25, he looks likely to make the big club by midseason. The role on arrival is less clear. Depth Chart predictions are for SP/RP with 19 starts, 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 8.26 K/9. That seems pretty conservative. For a guy not listed in most top 300 lists, he's worth watching.

Depending on one’s concerns, there are two distinct ways of viewing Chad Green‘s most recent sojourn to the majors leagues. For those who would prefer the Yankees to win games and not lose them in the year 2016, it was likely a dissappointment. Green conceded five home runs in 10.1 innings, allowing eight runs total over the course of two starts. Not great, in other words. For those looking for indications of Green’s future success, however, it was mostly encouraging. Because regard: against 40 batters, Green recorded 14 strikeouts and merely two walks (rates of 35.0% and 5.0%, respectively) and an average fastball velocity of 95 mph — and, in such a small sample, those are the only numbers likely to reveal anything.
Now 25, he looks likely to make the big club by midseason. The role on arrival is less clear. Depth Chart predictions are for SP/RP with 19 starts, 4.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 8.26 K/9. That seems pretty conservative. For a guy not listed in most top 300 lists, he's worth watching.
