Yankees MILB 4/6: Bryce Cunningham Impresses in Debut

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (5-4) (Doubled Up Syracuse, 8-4) CF Ismael Munguia: 2-for-5, 2 R, SB (2) Munguia’s solid start continues (11-for-35 (.314/.400/.371)). RF Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K Do the Yankees feel that Pereira can be the right-handed bat they seek? I have no idea. 1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-4, R, […]

Yankees MILB 4/5: Spencer Jones Singles, Doubles

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (4-4) (Lost to Syracuse, 7-4) 1B Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, K LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 7-for-25 with four RBI. He is looking for his first extra-base hit. Given that extra-base power is his “thing,” I am not worried. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4 DH T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, HR (3), RBI, R,  BB .303/.395/.636 in […]

Yankees MILB 4/4: Griffin Herring Dazzles in Debut

Notes: The Yankees have signed C/OF Cooper Hummel to a minor league deal after he elected free agency yesterday. The Astros outrighted him off their 40-man roster, and he had the right to declare free agency. While listed as a C/OF, Hummell hasn’t caught at any level since 2023 (96 innings). Offensively, the 30-year-old hasn’t done […]

Yankees MILB 4/3: Braden Shewmake Homers

Notes: RHP Jake Woodford, whom the Yankees signed on March 28th, has been assigned to Scranton. To make room, LHP Edgar Barclay was sent down to Somerset. Woodford is a 28-year-old who pitched in 89 games (25 starts) for the Cardinals between 2020 and 2024. He compiled a 10-13 record with a 4.88 ERA (4.94 FIP; […]

Yankees MILB 4/2: Ismael Munguia Extends Hitting Streak

Notes: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (2-3) (Lost to Syracuse, 5-1, in a sleepy afternoon affair) CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-3, BB He has started the season on a 5-game hitting streak. DH Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, 2 K 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, RBI Vivas committed two errors, which doesn’t inspire confidence that he can play 3B. 1B T.J. […]

Yankees MILB 4/1/25: Ismael Munguia Stays Hot

Notes: Yesterday, the Yankees re-signed Dominic Smith to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old first baseman went 11-for-37 with three homers and 12 RBI in spring training. He should get some 1B/DH at-bats for Scranton. Scranton (2-2) (Defeated Syracuse, 6-2) CF Ismael Munguia: 3-for-4, RBI, RS, BB Munguia’s hot start continues (8-for-17, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 3 […]

Yankees MILB 3/28: Let the Games Begin!

I am not going to be home to do this report tomorrow. I am not a fan of the current state of the farm system, but there is talent here. If Spencer Jones can put more pieces of the puzzle together while Roderick Arias/George Lombard Jr. continue their development, we’ll think differently by the end of the year. […]

College Basketball: A Look at the NCAA Tournament

The race for the #1 seeds Can Auburn, Duke, or Houston blow a #1 seed this week? Not likely. Duke has done enough to keep their position, though a loss to the Georgia Tech/Virginia winner could drop them. Auburn has 16 Quadrant 1 wins and ranks #1 in Wins Above Bubble, which the committee looks at. […]
