When the Yankees open their four-game series in Boston tomorrow night, there could well be yet another new face at first base.
Garrett Cooper was acquired by the Yankees in exchange for lefty reliever, Tyler Webb, who was returned to the Yankees as a former Rule 5 Draft pick.
The team also picked up some length in Cooper who reaches 6′ 6″ and weighs in at 230 lbs.
Just 26, Cooper has compiled some eye-opening numbers this season in the minors. His slash line is.366/.428/.652 with 29 home runs, 17 doubles, and 82 RBI in only 75 games at Triple-A Colorado Springs.
