As if acquiring Vernon Wells wasn’t hilarious enough, the Yankees then released one of their better hitting prospects in order to make room for the former Angel on the 40-man roster. Twenty-five year old David Adams was cut loose on Tuesday by the Yankees brass, after hitting .306/.385/.450 (133 wRC+) in 383 PAs at Double-A last season.
Drafted in the 3rd round of the 2008 draft, Adams was hampered by injuries during his minor league career, which slowed his advancement through the system. However, when healthy, he hit at every level (.295/.378/.448 MiLB career) and always received solid reviews about his bat.
The Yankees transitioned Adams from second base to third base during last season, and he was set to open the season at the hot corner for Triple-A Scranton.
And now he’s been cut to make room for replacement-level Vernon Wells.
After all, it’s not like the Yankees need third base prospects. They have a perfectly healthy and durable third baseman who’s signed through 2017.
