Spring '11 Minor League Thread

That's a turrible story. Pitchers might get hurt and spring training stats? Awful

[Yankees1962]

yes. This one surprised me.

I think it shows the amount of good catching the Yankees have in the system from top to bottom.

Yeah, I glance at the article and quickly determined it wasn't worth my time to read it in its entirety.

The article was a joke. Romaine did hit a homer in his final ST game. The headline makes it seem like our farm sucks yet goes on the say how promising the pitchers and catchers are. No mention of Nunez making the team.

Cuts: RHP Ryan Acosta, RHP Philip Bartleski, RHP Bryant Cotton, RHP Joel Marte, RHP Ben Watkins, LHP Sam Elam, LHP Trenton Lare, C Kyle Perkins, 1B Nick Ebert, 2B Ronnie Belliard, 2B Justin Snyder, OF Isaiah Brown

I wish we gave Bartleski a chance to try Trenton legitimately, but I understand age was a factor. I figured Snyder was gone when he wasn't on the Trenton roster today. I expected Lare and Watkins to make Tampa and Charleston repectively, but perhaps this could be good news for real prospects. Acosta could have made Charleston, but he was really borderline. And I think we have been expecting Elam for a long time.

The only legit concern in that article was Betances' health. Clearly no other research was put into it, especially on Banuelos.

"He hasn't pitched more than 108 innings in a season"

Yeah because it's called DEVELOPMENT. He threw 42 in his debut year, 108 the following, appendectomy...not a pitching or arm related injury, came back & threw close to 80 (including the Arizona league). There is no legit concern about Banuelos' health.

Actually, Banuelos threw over 100 innings if you count the playoff innings along with AFL all-star game with the rest of his regular season and AFL innings.

Has anyone ever read a Post article and believed it was well researched, sports or otherwise?

Another thing, Manny basically had two spring trainings last year because he got sick just a few days prior to Opening Day and then had to build up his arm again in May/June, when he got healthy. It's going to be interesting to see what innings cap the Yankees have for him this year as it might be more than we think it is.
