Yankees MILB 7/11: The Spencer Jones Show Continues

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 […]

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 6/6: Carlos Lagrange’s Double-A Debut

Notes: I have nothing to report. Injury Log Scranton (28-30) (Defeated St. Paul, 5-1) C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB, K Reaching base twice in five plate appearances feels like a “meh” night for Rodriguez. He is 8-for-21 (.381) with four doubles in his last six games. 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, BB LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 1B […]

Yankees MILB 5/31: Dillon Lewis’ Hot May Ends with a Homer

Notes: A lot of roster assignments in the DSL today in anticipation of their openers on Monday. I say openers because the Yankees have two Dominican Summer League (DSL) teams. If you are new to this, they do play each other during the season. One unique feature of the DSL is that the rosters do […]

Yankees MILB 5/23: An Offensive Explosion

Notes: Nothing to see here.

Yankees MILB 5/17: Roc Riggio Homers Twice

Notes: The rumblings about Jesus Rodriguez are starting. I get it – the Yankees have an issue with offense at third base, and Rodriguez can further help balance the lineup. But is he a third baseman?  The Yankees have tried various positions with him. A natural catcher, he also has experience at 1B/2B (limited)/3B/LF. MLB Pipeline’s write-up […]
