May 2012 Minor League Thread

[Jax Teller]

If Marshall was slated to throw 165- 170 innings this year (after 140 last year), he is pretty much on pace to hit that (66 so far).

If we're assuming that they look at strictly how many innings pitched, and not pitch counts per innings, yeah. But hopefully they take that into account since a 5 pitch inning isn't going to be as stressful as a 20+ pitch inning.

But then again, this is an organization who employed a trainer who's experience was working with senior citizens, so who knows what goes on in their heads?

A couple of posters have mentioned him abit. Seems like filler. Is there something Im missing about this fella? Does he have a live arm?

Nope, two way player in college, finally concentrating on pitching.Good sized, competitive, live armed lefty.A real prospect.

Which minor leaguer is most exciting?

"Tyler Austin," said Brian Cashman.

Why?

"Look at his numbers," the Yankees GM said. "He is having a monster year."

Austin, 20, is hitting .323 with 13 homers and 44 RBIs for Single-A Charleston. His OPS is over .1000. He's mostly played right field this season and a little first base and DH.

The Yankees picked him in the 13th round of the 2010. He is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds. He hits and fields right-handed.

And he has the GM very excited about his future.

Is Tyler Austin's season for real? What do you see his future being and what kind of potential might he have?
J.J. Cooper: I think so and some people in the industry do too. He projects as a middling corner OF defensively with a good arm and enough bat that you don't care too much about his defense.

It's comments like this that make me scratch my head. Austin has played less than 50 games in the outfield so how can they make such an evaluation now? IMO, it's why you have to take such comments from sports MSM with a grain of salt as they give opinions without much behind them.

so they should just wait to see what his defense becomes in a few years or answer a question about how he looks now? if he gets faster, or starts reading flyballs better, or his athleticsm improves then you reevaluate. scouting is a process of evaluation and reevaluation.

At this time, they didn't have to say anything about his fielding as his hitting is what's going to get him to the majors. Also, when did CC Cooper become a scout?

[Yankees1962]

Murphy, Segedin, and Montgomery make FSL All-Star game. Murphy hasn't hit this season yet he still made the all-star team.

A) why wouldnt he say anything about his defense when asked about his potential
B) its JJ Cooper and he talks to more scouts than anyone around here does

I didn't like the comment because of reasons stated, you have no problem with it and I have nothing else to say to you because it's not worth a drawn out argument about it.

Nah, just a bad start. I'm excited to see how his year ends up.

Is Charleston known to be a pitcher's park? Austin, Sanchez, KDL, Bichette and Culver all have significantly better numbers on the road (Gumbs slightly better, Mason about the same).
