June 2012 Minor League Thread

[just-blaze]

I'm probably coming from a bias perspective of being a Yankee fan.

Yankee bias has nothing to do with it. Its just a fact that, recently, promotions come as slow as molasses.

Last position players to be promoted agressively were Duncan and AJ, IMO.

I see that one of the best Yankee draft picks of recent years, Jeremy Bleich, has returned (GCL) from shoulder surgery.

He will dominate, you'll see.

Montero was promoted pretty fast up until he reached SWB.

Yankees sign MeLoan from independent league.

Montero was promoted pretty fast up until he reached SWB.

Banuelo's was promoted to AAA too early and both him and Betanence should go back to AA to regain their prior dominance.

In the past few years Navarro and Henson were promoted too quickly.

[Jax Teller]

Garrison Lassiter was released.

[dpbddd99]

Another good outing by Jordan Cote. 4.2 innings, one run, six strike outs.

[philleotardo]

Mason Williams homered.

[Jax Teller]

Pirela

Mesa

Z Almonte

Saxon Butler

4-4, 2 2B.

8-18, 5 2B, HR in 5 games.

The offensive star of the SS Yankees, so far. Dugas also has done very well in his few games.

[philleotardo]

Dellin faces Daniel Cabrera today....

Garrison Lassiter was released.

675k down the tubes

[Yankees47]

Does anyone know why Mason Williams, Tyler Austin and Gary Sanchez have not been promoted to Tampa yet. Usually Cashman promotes deserving players right after the minor league all star break and that has come and passed and they are still in Low A. They are all dominating the league and need a new challenge. Did Cashman say anything i missed?

What's funny is a lot more money would've gone down the tubes if many of us had our way in pushing the Yankees to sign any number of draftees over the years.

Even though Cashman is the boss, it's a better question for Mark Newman to answer.

[Yankees47]

So Newman hasn't been asked why? that just struck me as bizarre that non of them got promoted, they all had last year in staten island and Sanchez even spent last year in Charleston, They should move up the ladder, Those 3 need the challenge of a new league and should be rewarded just doesn't make sense. Gumbs, Bichette and Marshall I think need a lil work in the sally league and they will be in tampa next year but the other 3 should be there now.

What do you based that own?

[Yankees47]

What do you based that own?

The fact that Sanchez is repeating a the league and is hitting .310 with 13 hrs and that Mason Williams and Tyler Austin both played on 2 short seasons the last 2 years and finally get to full season ball and are both hitting well over 300 and both hitting with power and seem to handle there position well. Im not asking them to be moved to AA or anything crazy, just move them up to A+ and give them the rest of the year there to see what they can do. They are dominating Low A ball and need to graduate to the next level.

So you're not basing it on actually watching them play, but what their stats show you?
