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 […]

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; […]

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 […]

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. […]

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. […]

History: The CAA has changed through the years and last won an NCAA Tournament game 13 years ago (VCU). William & Mary has never received a bid to the NCAA Tournament. They are one of three “original” Division I schools with that distinction (Army, the Citadel). Elon has also never made it to the Big Dance. Returning Champion: […]
