    May 2010 Minor League Thread

    http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/g...wbaaa_noraaa_1 says Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's "Greg Golson bunt grounds out sharply to first baseman Brandon Snyder." It must be rare for a player to bunt sharply. Juan Miranda just hit his fifth home run in the top of the second at Norfolk for the first run of the game.

    Montero continues to struggle. 0-2 so far.

    On the plus side, he's thrown out both attempted base stealers so far.

    0-3 with 2ks. I'm listening to the game and it sounds like he's not adjusting to the off-speed/breaking stuff.

    1 WP was the only negative there. I am happy with that outing. He is really surprising me with the low walk totals so far.

    Re: May 2010 Minor League Thread

    Who is finally going to get their shot in AAA with Melancon up? Duff, Schmidt, or Wordekemper? Maybe Arias or WDR? I think it will be Duff, but I can imagine the Yankees moving Wordekemper up.

    Then the top options for Tampa to Trenton are Venditte, Olbrychowski, Rulon, or Bartleski. I'd say Olbrychowski would most likely move up first out of that group.
    No one needs to move from Charleston to Tampa. It will be Tim Norton placed on that roster. I don't know why he is the one that the Yankees keep putting in Staten Island.

    EDIT: Another possibility from Tampa to Trenton is Noesi which would move Pendleton to the pen.

    Grote was injured in the game a couple nights ago before getting an at bat so he will go to the DL with Francisco Rondon. Justin Milo and Dickson Marquez take their spots.

    Why isn't Golson getting called up? Why is Winn and Thames platooning LF when we need defense and some pop and neither of them have it?

    So when Thames is letting routine singles turn into gamebreakers and Randy Winn is swinging 0 for forever...do we judge GI Joe's opinion then? They are going to have Hughes, CC, AJ, Andy next...why against the Orioles would I be worried about the 3rd tier BP help? Not even the Red Sox make me worried for that since thier BP is just as bad.

    The Orioles can still swing the bats despite their rough start to the season as the Red Sox are finding out. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if another roster move takes place this week in which a pitcher is taken off in favor of an outfielder.

    We need an OF, preferably one that's not nearing his 40's and can swing the bat a bit and steal bases, candyman, Greg Golson should be up here.

    Re: May 2010 Minor League Thread

    Marcus Thames, no pop? What does the guy need to do, against lefties, anyhow? THere will be another roster move. Hughes goes today and he likely won't go beyond 6 innings. Both Mitre and Aceves are not available and Robertson has been awful. Makes sense to get another reliever up, at least for today. I think Joe knows what he's doing.

    Jairo Heredia hit 3 batters in 3 innings giving up 4 hits so far. 1 BB, 1K. 3 unearned runs.
    His Line: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
    Jairo's ERA is at 6.86. Two more good starts should fix that and then I'll be looking for the control to improve. Some ore strikeouts wouldn't hurt either.

    David Phelps: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

    Tim Norton will join SWB until Tuesday at minimum when Whelan can come off the DL. After he will probably go back to Staten Island. I just wish he could get some consistent PT.

    Curious to know when Romine will start getting looks in the outfield. If he continues to hit throughout the year how is he going to get a promotion with Montero at AAA?

    the yankees arent gonna have romine learn to play the OF just so they can promote him to AAA. he needs a year of catching full time

    Thats what they were saying about Roy Halladay until someone decided to have some patience and let him work his problems out. Just something to keep in mind rather than rush to judgement.

    I understand your sentiment but that's not a very good comp. in terms of the minor league track record as Doc was a solid MiLB starter for two or three years before he fell apart at the ML level.

    Re: May 2010 Minor League Thread

    Bottom line is, he DID fall apart. but with some good instruction was able to right himself and now look at him. Not saying Brackman will be the next Halladay but it is still way too early to give up on him. Then again, most Yankee fans are not exactly known for their patience and understanding. Its usuall instant success or bust.

    Like I said I understand your sentiment but it's still a bad comp.

    Halladay was successful in the minors at ages 18 and 19 and dedicated his entire life towards becoming a MLB pitcher. Brackman has been horrific, inconsistent to start his pro career, is close to 7 feet tall and is already 23 years old. He also was a two sport athlete in college, splitting time from baseball with basketball.

    I'm not saying he's cooked. Not yet. But Brack's case is too different from Doc's to really draw much other than a preaching of patience.

    I think he basically needs an injury to get a real shot. The team will stick with Pena as the backup cause he gives them good defense and has been solid in that role. However should any of our middle infielders go down Russo will likely be the first called up and is probably a better option than Pena to fill in on a more regular basis particularly at 2B and 3B where Russo is solid defensively.

    I can see Arod getting a lot of days off or DH. With that being the case I rather have Russo who can give you offense and fill in at 3rd. It's not like he's a butcher in the field. I guess they want to reward Pena because he was here last year?

    I like Russo's approach. When I saw him in ST he looked like a professional hitter. I like Pena but he's actually the one-despite his good defense, that could use more seasoning. Russo is ready now.

    I agree I just don't think they'll make room for Russo until there is extra space on the roster to do so. They're not going to switch out Pena if they only need their backup INF to play 1-2 games a week. Pena's lack of offense won't be an issue and will go generally unnoticed if we're barely using him. Basically I think the Yankees like Pena in that hardly used role and would rather give Russo consistent AB's so that he could be ready to come up and play a more consistent role should an opportunity arise due to injury.

    Just when has the southern version of the Frankenstein monster had any real stretch of dominance, at any level, to warrant the fan's patience? Just another 1st round blunder and that major league contract turned the tragedy into a farse.

    Tim Norton was assigned to SI to start the year and was placed on and off Tampa 2 more times and onto SI due to injuries before joining SWB this time. The Yankees are not treating him like a prospect as much as filler at this point which I find disappointing.

    well, he is getting up there in age, despite the fact that he lost much of his time to injury

    also, he was coming back from major shoulder surgery... i haven't seen an updated scouting report, but i think it's safe to assume that his stuff has considerably diminished

    The nerve to point out that you can't spell 'farce?' Or were you attempting, according to Dictionary.com, to refer to "An addition to, or a paraphrase of, some part of the Latin service in the vernacular; -- common in English before the Reformation." The 'c' and the 's' aren't next to each other on the keyboard, so a typo seemed unlikely.

    My nerve and my audacity are perfectly reasonable and spelt correctly. Perhaps it's your linguistic acumen that invites doubt?

    Perhaps, but its not like he focuses just on Yankee prospects and it does seem like he gives accurate scouting reports seeing as now he sits 89-93 touching 94 when last year I was hearing reports of him sitting in the mid 90's not to mention he called his curve garbage.

    Edit: he only scouts Charleston games but to his credit he essentially says something bad about every prospect.

    First of all, thank you for reading the site.

    I did, however, want to offer a little more insight into the above statement. I'm from Boston. I've never been a Yankees' fan and I watch the RiverDog's with about as objective an eye as humanly possible. Half the time, I don't even watch the game, but rather swings, pitches, and plays.

    On that note, I've only seen Vizcaino pitch once and I've seen Ramirez toss three times now. Vizcaino's outing was his shortest of the year, but from everyone I've spoken to, his stuff was right where it should have been.

    It's not that I don't like Vizcaino (there's no denying that his stuff is right up there), but more that I'm very high on Ramirez. His changeup is the best pitch I've seen in two plus years of intently scouting this league. He's had hitters so off-balance for a month now, that it's almost laughable he's still in low-A ball.

    When paired with his fastball, which some say won't gain too much more velocity, but I don't see how with his physique it wouldn't, he has two very good plus pitches.

    It's tough to go against the grain and rate Ramirez higher than Vizcaino, but my observations are based 100 percent completely on things I've seen with my own two eyes. And with the things I've seen, I would pick Ramirez over Vizcaino eight of 10 times.

    Once again, thank you for reading. I truly appreciate it.

    I did, however, want to offer a little more insight into the above statement. I'm from Boston. I've never been a Yankees' fan and I watch the RiverDog's with about as objective an eye as humanly possible. Half the time, I don't even watch the game, but rather swings, pitches, and plays.

    Tim was not injured this year at all, is not a filler, and is indeed a prospect. What's disappointing is your perspective but you are entitled.
