Yankees MILB 7/24: Spencer Jones Launches 3 Home Runs
Notes: RHP Cade Smith is off the injured list as he pitched for Hudson Valley tonight. Smith was ranked 18th in the recent Pipeline update (again, it wasn’t a full update – but rather a reshuffle for the Trade Deadline). He was drafted in the 6th round in 2023 after spending 2022 and 2023 as the […]

Notes: Pipeline released a new Top 30 list, and Carlos Lagrange has jumped all the way to #2 (behind George Lombard Jr.). He also joined the Top 100. RHP Cam Schlittler is now third while Spencer Jones, despite his incredible hot streak, dropped to 4th. LHP Griffin Herring surged up the list to 8th. Seven of their top ten prospects are pitchers […]

Notes: In case you missed it (or you want to read it for the 50th time), I wrote up a mid-season review of the Yankees’ system. OF Spencer Jones was missing from tonight’s Scranton lineup. That raises an eyebrow because the Railriders just had four days off. As I said last week, being out of a […]

Entering 2025, I was skeptical of the Yankees’ farm system. Not only was their representation low on Top 100 lists, but it was also challenging to find prospects who had reasonable arguments to be included on the list. Has anything changed? Let’s take a look. It’s inevitable – someone will find a prospect I forgot […]

Notes: RHP Luis Gil made his first rehab appearance today for Somerset. The draft is tonight. The Yankees, along with the Dodgers and Mets, were penalized for having the audacity to improve their roster and had their draft position dropped ten slots. They will pick 39th. Recent history suggests that the Yankees will likely select someone […]

Notes: From an article on The Athletic, the Yankees are transitioning former top catching prospect Antonio Gomez to pitching. Gomez, who is already Rule 5 eligible, supposedly is touching 100 MPH during workouts. In my opinion, which was wrong (though I don’t mind admitting it), Gomez was the most intriguing catching prospect they had a few years […]
