Yankees MILB 9/24: The Finale
News: Thanks to everyone for reading. I say it every year: By the time we get to this point, I am ready for a break. Yes, there are fall and winter leagues to follow but I don’t pay as much attention. I certainly do not write full reports. I have a “Where are they now?” […]
Yankees MILB 9/22: Ben Rice: Grand Slam
News: RHP Clayton Beeter is on his way up, while RHP Jake Cousins was placed on the injured list. After returning from his injury, Beeter was exclusively a reliever.

Yankees MILB 9/19: Ben Rice Homers Again
News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (86-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-1. I have been mistaken lately. Like most sane people, I thought divisions mattered in the International League, but they don’t. It’s first-half champion vs. second-half champion in the entire league, even though you don’t get to play everyone. Weird. Divisions don’t matter. Scranton is […]
Yankees MILB 9/17: Spencer Jones Homers, Collects 3 Hits
News: The Yankees recently released LHP Victor Gonzalez, who was toiling in Triple-A after mediocre results in MLB earlier this season. Seen as a potential Wandy Peralta replacement, Gonzalez was never able to get into a consistent groove. The trade with the Dodgers comes down to how the two prospects (Trey Sweeney (now with Detroit) and Jorbit Vivas) perform. Scranton […]
