Yankees MILB 7/19: Hudson Valley’s No-Hitter

News The draft was interesting for the Yankees. Everyone assumed the Yankees had an “all pitching” mentality but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I applaud the Yankees for not “reaching” for a position player just because they had already drafted many pitchers. The draft fell in a way where the most valuable thing […]

Yankees MILB 7/14: George Lombard Jr.: 2 Doubles

News RHP JT Brubaker has an oblique injury, which will temporarily shut down his rehab stint. As for where the system is at the midway point, it is a mixed bag that leans slightly towards disappointment. Some of that is due to injuries. Some of it is because we don’t have Drew Thorpe throwing 7 shutout innings […]

Yankees MILB 7/4: Jorbit Vivas Doubles Twice

News: Happy 4th of July! LHP Henry Lalane made his 2024 debut today. Standing 6’7″, Lalane was born in the Bronx but moved to the Dominican Republic when he was four months old (which is why he was an international signing and not a draftee). What makes him interesting? A kid his size typically has control […]

Yankees MILB 7/1: Roc Riggio Continues Hot Streak

News: Typically speaking, full-season leagues have Monday off. Not this week. Rather, they will play a Monday – Saturday schedule with Sunday off. That means they will get both Sunday and Monday off next week. RHP Chase Hampton, who I assumed may not pitch in 2024, threw a rehab game for the FCL today.  I […]

Yankees MILB 6/29: Cam Schlittler Ks 7

News: C/1B Josh Breaux was released. The 2nd round pick in the 2018 draft showed off his trademark power at times (69 HR, .457 SLG in 326 games) but the rest of his game didn’t develop. Injuries didn’t help in his progression. C/1B Josue Gonzalez was moved from the FCL to Tampa. After a spectacular 2023 […]

Yankees MILB 6/21: Jace Avina Doubles, Homers

News: RHP Yoendrys Gomez and Phil Bickford were promoted to MLB today. RHP Ron Marinaccio was demoted to Scranton while LHP Victor Gonzalez was designated for assignment. Gonzalez doesn’t have enough service time to refuse an outright assignment, nor has he been outrighted before. Hence, if he somehow clears waivers (unlikely), the Yankees could store him for depth. Gonzalez looked like a […]

Yankees MILB 6/16: George Lombard Jr. Triples, Drives in 3

News: OF Jasson Dominguez is back on the injured list. According to Aaron Boone, he felt something in his side while swinging. That instantly makes one think of oblique, but we’ll wait until testing is complete. Dominguez, who was pulled early last night, has consistently hit the ball hard since returning from his injury. This was […]
