Yankees MILB 6/18: Roc Riggio, Spencer Jones Homer

Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes was outrighted to Scranton after clearing waivers. As a general reminder, I am not a scout. I don’t work for the Yankees. When I hype up someone like Jesus Rodriguez, I can’t tell you how the Yankees feel about him internally. Guess what? Nobody who writes or talks about these guys has any […]

Yankees MILB 6/17: Jesus Rodriguez is Rolling

Notes: Infielder Owen Cobb and infielder/outfielder Austin Green were placed on the injured list for Tampa. That likely explains the promotion of Santiago Gomez last week. Cobb, a 23-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford, is hitting .333/.385/.544 in 106 plate appearances. He is 11-for-14 stealing bases. Green, 23, was drafted in the 14th round in the […]

Yankees MILB 6/15: Brennen Davis Homers Again

Notes: SS Santiago Gomez was promoted from the FCL to Tampa today. The 21-year-old (yes, he was old for the FCL) was hitting .273/.356/.325 with a homer and 12 RBI in 90 plate appearances. Additionally, he stole 13 bases in 14 attempts. Last season, in 95 plate appearances, he put together a .321/.421/.420 line. From what […]

Yankees MILB 6/14: Griffin Herring Impresses Again

Notes: Nothing to report for the second day in a row. Sheesh. Injury Log Scranton (34-31) (Defeated Syracuse, 5-1. The Railriders are playing great baseball lately, but they are 9.5 games behind first-place Lehigh Valley.) 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-2, RBI, R, 2 BB Sometimes, it is hard to report on kids after they make their big […]

Yankees MILB 6/13: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Ks 8

Notes: No news. Injury Log Scranton (33-31) (Stayed hot by defeating Syracuse, 10-3. The Railriders crushed Frankie Montas (1.2 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 1 BB, 1 K)) C Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-5, 2 2B (11), R Rodriguez is amazing. This is his 8th 3-hit effort this season and 18th multi-hit game. The new triple slash […]

Yankees MILB 6/12: Cam Schlittler Ks 7

Notes: RHP Anthony DeSclafani has opted out of his contract, instantly signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks. It isn’t uncommon for a veteran on a minor league deal to do this. The Yankees could have added him to the 26-man roster, but there wasn’t a need. RHP McKinley Moore, as big of a project as you will […]

Yankees MILB 6/11: George Lombard Jr.’s Big Night

Notes: The Yankees released OF Christopher Familia. I talk about “cult followings” because it is fun to watch an unheralded prospect get some love. In 2023, that player was Familia. He hit 22 home runs in 68 games between Tampa and Hudson Valley, putting up a strong .307/.378/.617 line. Injuries and ineffectiveness have plagued him since […]

Yankees MILB 6/10: Pitching Rules the Night

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham‘s return from the injured list was short-lived, as he is back on the list after only one start. Cunningham has arguably impressed the most from last year’s pitching class, compiling a 1.93 ERA (3.33 FIP) over 46.2 innings with a 25.7% K, 6% BB, and 45.4% GB. The Yankees released veteran LHP […]

Yankees MILB 6/9: Where are they now?

A look at the prospects the Yankees have traded/lost over the last several years. This list is comprehensive (in my opinion) but likely not complete. So many prospects are lost to minor league free agency or latch on somewhere after the Yankees release them. Impossible to keep up with all of them. The Devin Williams deal: IF […]

Yankees MILB 6/8: Roc Riggio Hits 2 HR

Notes: The Yankees claimed utilityman CJ Alexander off waivers from the Athletics and assigned him to Scranton. No corresponding 40-man roster move was needed because they had space. Alexander, who has experience at the “four corners”, is 4-for-25 in his MLB career without an extra-base hit, walk, or stolen base. That’s impressive. He spent time with the […]
