In one sense, he's a hot commodity, so appealing that every team wants a piece of him, he's already been signed by admiring teams 10 (soon to be 11) times by the time he's turned 23, but in another sense, he's just a castoff, the guy you sign to be "that guy" in your farm before releasing him after he goes 0-4. This thread will only be used to discuss Billy Bob Yeager, but there are no limitations as to what you can talk about pertaining to Billy Bob. It could be him being signed, his stats, him being cut, his hair, I don't care. Have at it, folks.

His minor league K and BB numbers are nothing special as well, though it suggests he will gain more in BC than PD. He is also right-handed and with lessens his usability. Good luck to Billy Bob and may his hit tool be 20, and may his strong GB/FB rate lead to a lot of homers. Apparently he is the son of Chuck Yeager, test pilot, and so, yes, yet another team will be testing his son soon.

He gained a SI and improved to .351/.415/.541/.955 with us!!!
