He seems to be unhittable yet somehow walks the entire park. Weird.

The Daniel Cabrera comps weren't so bad after all.

barf

Austin with another HR

But Campos got destroyed

[Donnybaseball72]

When did we sign Nelson Figueroa to a AAA deal?

[bmxstreetrider86]

Charlestown is disgusting on offense. Downright filth

Austin has to have the most helium in the minors right now, dude has been out of his mind

[Jax Teller]

Tyler Austin just hit a Grand Slam & started singing "Just goin' balls deep on the league....." as he rounded the bases.

(seriously, he hit another homer)

[awy]

umm what happened to campos

[Yankees1962]

umm what happened to campos

It's called having a bad game.

This was a rather forgettable week.

[philleotardo]

This was a rather forgettable week.

I know. I don't even get to make the ridiculous "I'd rather rush Campos than start Garcia" statement.

[awy]

It's called having a bad game.

yea, but why and how was he bad

[TheHugeUnit2]

umm what happened to campos

He read NYYFans and felt the pressure of suddenly being trade straight up for Montero.

[EvanJ]

After a bad first game, here are Pat Venditte's numbers from his last five AAA games:

8 innings
4 hits (.148 opponents' batting average)
0 runs
4 walks
8 strikeouts
1-0 record
1.00 WHIP
2.00 K/BB

[Yankees1962]

Getting back to talking about a real baseball prospect. I think Austin hit another 3-run dinger today in the first inning. Also, threw out a runner at 3rd. He keeps this up, he will be a top 100 prospect.

Austin needs to go to Tampa. This is getting ridiculous now. He's turning 21 this year so he is more than ready for high A. I expect him to be in Tampa somewhere in page 2 of the May 2012 thread.

His age has nothing to do with whether he's ready for high A ball or not.

[Donnybaseball72]

Maybe, maybe not. But his 1.26OPS has a lot to do with him being unchallenged in the Sally League.

Lighten up Francis.

Tell that to yourself. He still strikes out too much with not enough walks. There's more to being challenged than just the OPS numbers at this point in his career.

He doesn't turn 21 until September. So he could conceivably finish this season at High A which would have him on track to play in AA some time next season at age 21. So age is clearly not an issue and he absolutely should not be rushed.

[Posada_20]

Another good start for Brett Marshall. 7.2 innings, 2 runs 5 hits, no walks, 6 Ks. He gets better with each start.

i suspect that once he stops making consistent contact, he'll start walking more.. but right now, he's seeing the ball so well, it's understandable why he wouldn't let a few go by

[jeter62375]

anyone know why mason williams was pulled after just 1 ab today ?

[Jax Teller]

Read on Twitter that he jammed his shoulder making a diving catch.

Austin
