Yankees MILB 5/26: Spencer Jones Hits a Bomb

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: Following up on my Ryan Weathers re-post from yesterday, here is how the four prospects given up are doing: OF Dillon Lewis – Considered the biggest “get” for the Marlins, Lewis is doing what he typically does. He is hitting for a low average (.225), meh OBP (.316), but solid power (.483 […]

Yankees MILB 5/25: Richard Matic Reaches Base 4 Times

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: We have reached Memorial Day. Most of my thoughts in my MILB Top 30 Prospects list above haven’t really changed from a “system as a whole” perspective. If I do a midseason list, yes – some prospects will move around, drop out (hello, Cade Winquest!), etc. If you want […]

Yankees MILB 5/22: George Lombard Jr: Multi-Hit Effort

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log I am surprised that Spencer Jones was demoted to make room for Jose Caballero. Jones wasn’t producing, as he didn’t compile any extra-base hits after his promotion. However, he is an outfielder with power potential.  With Max Schuemann and Caballero, you are betting more on defense and speed. As for Anthony Volpe, the plan is to give […]

Yankees MILB 5/18: Richard Matic Collects 3 Hits

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: RHP Yovanny Cruz is in the Bronx!  The 26-year-old hard thrower owned a 3.00 ERA (4.41 FIP) over 18 innings for Scranton. He owned impressive 29.1% K and 52.3% GB rates but a less-than-impressive 11.4% BB. The average velocity on his four-seam fastball was 99.2 MPH, easily topping 100 MPH […]

Yankees MILB 5/7: Spencer Jones Promoted

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: OF Spencer Jones is on his way after the freak Jasson Dominguez injury this afternoon. It is possible (probable?) he will make his debut against Brewers’ ace Jacob Misiorowski. This was always going to happen, right? Jones, with his strikeout issues, is going up against the pitcher with a 14.0 K/9 and 38.1% […]

Yankees MILB 7/29: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

Notes: In case you missed them, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction and my analysis of the Amed Rosario transaction. Antonio Gomez was assigned to Tampa today. The catcher-turned-pitcher was on the Development List. He made his first appearance on the hill tonight, maxing out at 99.9 MPH. LHP Henry Lalane‘s rehab assignment is […]

Yankees MILB 6/2: Isaias Castillo (16) Homers in Professional Debut

Notes: If you missed it yesterday (it was a late addition to my report), 1B/OF Dominic Smith exercised his opt-out clause. Given how the season has played out, there wasn’t a path to MLB for Smith with the Yankees. He is hoping to convert his hot May into an MLB contract somewhere. Injury Log Scranton (25-29) […]
