Yankees MILB 7/30: Brendan Beck Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

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 7/24: Spencer Jones Launches 3 Home Runs

Notes: RHP Cade Smith is off the injured list as he pitched for Hudson Valley tonight. Smith was ranked 18th in the recent Pipeline update (again, it wasn’t a full update – but rather a reshuffle for the Trade Deadline). He was drafted in the 6th round in 2023 after spending 2022 and 2023 as the […]

Yankees MILB 7/20: Spencer Jones Has Gone Bananas

Notes: According to the Baseball America signing tracker, 8th-round pick Mac Heuer has signed his name on the dotted line.  The Yankees have signed all of their picks from the first ten rounds. The 21-year-old right-handed pitcher made 14 starts for Texas Tech in 2025, going 2-4 with a 6.28 ERA in 53 innings with a […]

Yankees MILB 7/19: Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr. Homer

Notes: C/1B Rafael Flores has finally been promoted to Scranton. Given Jesus Rodriguez‘s ability to play third base, there will be plenty of playing time for both. After playing in 162 games for High-A Hudson Valley, Flores played in 152 for Somerset. He hit .281/.351/.505 with 37 doubles, a triple, 30 home runs, 89 RBI, 88 runs, […]

Yankees MILB 7/13: Carlos Lagrange: 5 Hitless Innings

Notes: RHP Luis Gil made his first rehab appearance today for Somerset. The draft is tonight. The Yankees, along with the Dodgers and Mets, were penalized for having the audacity to improve their roster and had their draft position dropped ten slots. They will pick 39th. Recent history suggests that the Yankees will likely select someone […]

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 7/10: Griffin Herring Dominates

Notes: If you didn’t enjoy RHP Cam Schlittler‘s MLB debut, it’s time for a new hobby. Like Luis Gil, his ability to overpower hitters stands out. Is he rough around the edges? Of course. His control and command are a work in progress, and he is still refining his secondary pitches (beyond his MLB-ready slider/sweeper). However, throwing […]

Yankees MILB 7/9: The Spencer Jones Show

Notes: As I said last night, pulling a player from the lineup doesn’t mean they were traded. OF Everson Pereira is sick. OF Bryan De La Cruz is injured. As for DJ LeMahieu, I have been rough on him over the last few seasons, as he hasn’t been productive. The only reason why it should be shocking that he […]
