"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I'm going to want to see where the Yankees pitching staff is at, and what the RailRiders pen is doing (its kinda stunk the last couple of years) on or about July 1, if I want go move Lagrange to the bullpen to be called up ala Joba in 2007, instead of a trade.
Maybe this is a better comment to start a Reader's Thread, or the Mailbag, but here it is:
With how Ryan Weathers has been and how out of whack Luis Gil's delivery is, would you put both Elmer Rodriguez & Carlos Lagrange in the Opening Season Starting rotation, behind Fried, Schlittler, & Warren?
Legrange should be in the minors and be starting
but that's not at all a reason why he might not be called up in September for a couple of major-league starts if his season suggests success
and THAT does not rule out throwing a couple of innings in the post-season if they do not have him throw more often than twice a week
