August 2012 Minor League Thread

[Jax Teller]

Heathcott, Williams, Austin and Flores. OF quickly becomes one of the deepest positions in the farm. Hopefully at least one of them can be a starter for the team in the future.

While he's not someone to bank on, you can add Abe Almonte to that list.

2-4 2 doubles tonight (not that I'm basing it on tonight, just for the record)

[MrFortune3]

You didn't think he was cured did you? He'll have to manage that condition for a long time which means forever when you're that young and have a bad back.

once you hurt your back it's always an issue. but his back has been a constant issue this season. was hoping he would have less issues moving forward with it.

[Posada_20]

Zolio ALmonte goes deep for the 17th time this season! This guy is on a mission!

Interview with Mark Newman

I found this to be really strange:

MA: What was the issue with Ty Hensley's medical reports?

Newman: Hensley...you ought to talk to them about that, I'm not going to get into it other than his agent talked about stuff, and we don't...he hasn't had any problems. We're treating him like a regular pitcher. That's something you need to talk to them about.

It's very likely a HIPAA response, which would make it not at all strange.

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

It's very likely a HIPAA response, which would make it not at all strange.

My thought as well, and I suspect because it's more of a congenital thing and not an injury

[Jax Teller]

True. Since we always hear what's wrong with players, I didn't even think about that.

Heathcott
2-5

Flores
1-3, BB

DSL had a game Monday that didn't post until late. DePaula's line:

0BB, 9K continuing their impressive results.

I wonder how they'll transition to full seaosn ball next year.

Heathcott has been unconscious recently....

17-41, 6 XBH, 6 SB in his last 10 games.

[just-blaze]

Thought this was interesting, just confirms what I always thought. Our hitters have uphill battles.

Health is his biggest obstacle. I thought they were going to keep him strictly at DH b/c of that, but he's back in the field. Fingers crossed.

Wow, it was 3-0 when I posted those stats for Slade....time to update.

18-42, 7 XBH, 6 SB in his last 10 games.

Edit: Let me update that..

24-57, 12 XBH, 7 SB, 13 R, 13 RBI in his last 14 games.

he was always one to watch. he just needs to stay healthy. kinda funny that the year in which the rest of the top prospects have injury issues that he starts to come on in a nice way.

[Posada_20]

Nice debut for Corey Black in Charleston last night.

6 IP, 2 runs, 4 hits, 1 BB, 5 Ks. Wonder what his velocity was. Kid has hit the 100mph mark a couple of times at SI

[Posada_20]

Pedro Feliciano made his first appearance in almost 2 years for the GCL team this morning in the first game of a DH. Pitched the first inning, striking out the side and allowing a walk. Yanks may yet get something out of him before the season ends.

Whatever it was, I'll predict that, if he ever makes the Yankees, he'll top out at 5 mph less in his first appearance
