The Yankees made no mistakes when they developed Derek Jeter as a young talent. And they are following the same game plan now with Gleyber Torres. A long list could follow going all the way back to when Casey Stengel brought Mickey Mantle under his wings, moving him from shortstop to centerfield where he eventually morphed into a Yankee legend.
But for some reason, their track record with pitching talent falls more into the opposite category in which they gobble up talent and spit it out with one story of failure after another.
