Yankees MILB 4/22: Brendan Beck is Cruising

Notes: Yoendrys Gomez being designated for assignment surprised me. I thought that Ryan Yarbrough would be the first long reliever on the chopping block, but that wasn’t the case. Can Gomez get through waivers?  I have learned through the years that I am terrible at perceived value. I see a talented kid. Others may see damaged goods. Furthermore, […]

Yankees MILB 4/20: Spencer Jones Homers

Notes: RHP Zach Greene, who was on the Development List, is no longer with the organization. The 28-year-old Greene was drafted by the Yankees in the 8th round in the 2019 draft (South Alabama). In December 2022, the Mets selected Greene in the Rule 5 draft. However, he was returned to the Yankees before the […]

Yankees MILB 4/17: Spencer Jones Homers Twice (Again)

Notes: The catching carousel continues. Today, Somerset activated 20-year-old Diomedes Hernandez from the Development List. He played first base in tonight’s game but is also a catcher. Scranton placed IF Braden Shewmake on the injured list. IF Max Burt was promoted to Scranton to take his place. Shewmake is likely the most random player on the Yankees’ 40-man roster. The […]

Yankees MILB 4/10: Jackson Castillo: 2 Doubles, 6 RBI

Notes: RHP McKinley Moore and OF Christopher Familia have been moved to the organization’s Development List. The Development List was introduced in 2021, and its purpose is what you think it is. If a player has something to work on, and the organization wants them to do so outside of game competition, the Development List is there for […]

Yankees MILB 4/8: Spencer Jones Homers

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (5-4) Their game against Rochester was postponed. They will try to play two tomorrow. Somerset (1-3) (Lost a tough one to Reading, 5-4. Reading scored four runs in the top of the 9th to take the win) 3B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, K A tough 1-for-18 start to his campaign. CF Spencer […]

Yankees MILB 4/5: Spencer Jones Singles, Doubles

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (4-4) (Lost to Syracuse, 7-4) 1B Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, K LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 7-for-25 with four RBI. He is looking for his first extra-base hit. Given that extra-base power is his “thing,” I am not worried. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4 DH T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, HR (3), RBI, R,  BB .303/.395/.636 in […]

Yankees MILB 9/22: Ben Rice: Grand Slam

News: RHP Clayton Beeter is on his way up, while RHP Jake Cousins was placed on the injured list. After returning from his injury, Beeter was exclusively a reliever. Over five games, he posted a 0.00 ERA in 7 innings (2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 12 K). He wasn’t asked to pitch on back-to-back days, though he […]

Yankees MILB 9/19: Ben Rice Homers Again

News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (86-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-1. I have been mistaken lately. Like most sane people, I thought divisions mattered in the International League, but they don’t. It’s first-half champion vs. second-half champion in the entire league, even though you don’t get to play everyone. Weird. Divisions don’t matter. Scranton is […]

Yankees MILB 9/17: Spencer Jones Homers, Collects 3 Hits

News: The Yankees recently released LHP Victor Gonzalez, who was toiling in Triple-A after mediocre results in MLB earlier this season. Seen as a potential Wandy Peralta replacement, Gonzalez was never able to get into a consistent groove. The trade with the Dodgers comes down to how the two prospects (Trey Sweeney (now with Detroit) and Jorbit Vivas) perform. Scranton […]
