Season begins today. A lot of talent to root for.
Roster just updated:
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/m...=t_ros&cid=475
this team is loaded with prospects. Checo, DeLuca, Gerritse, Bryan Mitchell, Turley and Matt Richardson on the mound. Sanchez, Perkins, Culver, Nunez, in the field. should be fun.
First game under way. Kelvin Duran - lead off homer to start the bottom of the 1st.
clear, concise, correct
Banuelos is back. Pitched the first 2 innings, allowed 1 run, 1 hit, and 2 Ks. Brett Marshall now pitching. Good to see him back as well.
that's great news on man ban and marshall.
Gary Sanchez GRAND SLAM
Marshall 2IP 0H 2BB 2K
bunt single for golson then he stole 2nd and 3rd.
Forgot about this other Aussie signing.

Shocked to see that Reynoso wasn't in the GCL so I searched his name and milb says he was released.
I think it's a temporary status, not a propper release of a player. If he's not making the GCL team, he surely will be back in the DSL.Originally Posted by sjkqw
Wild opening game. Yanks have retaken the lead 10-8 bottom of 8th
5 errors so far, not pretty, but it is the 1st game.
GCL Yanks win! I think they're gonna be blast this year.
Gulf Coast is teh most fun to follow. You get those scores earlier in the day too!
"If we have to, we'll hoard everybody. That's what the Yankees used to do."

Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how the 8 runs scored against the GCL Yanks?
C Gary Sanchez 2 for 4 with a grandslam, an assist on a throw to 2nd on a caught stealing and, a throwing error on another play. Showing off his tools in game one.

a few unearned.
Is it true that Sanchez's time to 2nd is already under 4 seconds?

His pop times (catchers mitt to second base) are around 1.85 on average.Originally Posted by ArodMVP217
so does that mean you are saying that the 4 successful steals were more on the pitchers (3 different pitchers)?Originally Posted by Hughes2.50
He also walked and plate disc. is a tool.Originally Posted by Hughes2.50
Plate discipline is a tool - plus; (a) hit for average, (b) hit for power, (c) field your position,(d) throw, and (e) run, are considered the traditional five-tools. Certainly, plate discipline which the Yanks like to see is generally considered part of the "hit for average" tool.Originally Posted by Buzah!
Given Sanchez also had a throwing error it is clear he needs reps at catcher. I do know he has the tools to be an exceptional defensive catcher - I doubt he already is. He's got to work hard to be an exceptional major league defensive catcher.Originally Posted by mwalvlior
The Yankees don't expect their minor league pitchers to hold on baserunners in rookie league and low A ball. That makes it tougher to control the running game for a catcher.

Isn't it generally considered more of a skill? Aren't there like 7 skills or something?Originally Posted by Buzah!

I don't think so. BABIP ability (hit tool) and plate discipline are nearly independent. Hit tool does not mean be able to sustain a high BA, it just means good contact skills.Originally Posted by Hughes2.50
The Yanks consider it a tool.
Damn, I almost forgot about all these arms we drafted the previous 2 drafts.
Many thanks!Originally Posted by ArodMVP217

dont forget rey nunez, kuo, flores, felix, toussan duran. woh!Originally Posted by mwalvlior
I'm NO american born confused desi, but i love my yanks!
The guy I am going to be following is Bryan Mitchell. He is shooting up the best prospect list very quickly: He is already 10th: 10. Bryan Mitchell RHP 4/19/1991Originally Posted by indianyanksfan
Mitchell was picked up in the 16th round in 2009 and is probably going to go down as a late round steal when all is said and done. He’s already 6-2 and 175 so the frame is there with room to grow. He already throws a 2 seam fastball in the low 90s with a feel for a changeup and a plus 12-6 curveball which is considered one of the best in the system already. So this kid has upside to spare right now. He’s this high on the list based on his upside. Barring injury he will move fast into full season ball and then take it one step at a time. http://baseballinstinct.com/ What is frightening is the GCL Yankees almost have TOO much talent down there (Particularly on the mound DeLuca, Gerritse, Chico, and of course, Mitchell (You have to assume Turley and some of the others will move)). This could be one of the reasons why Encencas & Morton who look like they have agreed to terms (The fact they are NOT going to summer ball is a clue), will not be signed until late, there is simply no room for them yet (The Commissioner's office being the other reason).
Wonder why milb.com has no updates on today's game yet
good work by deluca and that offense is insane right now. got to keep the walks down, but good first effort. any reports on his stuff today?
interesting debut for deluca
"Montero hasn't delivered completely on his raw power, but he's close to projecting as an 80 hitter with 80 power on the 20-80 scouting scale"-BA
lol the starting pitcher for the pirates was 14 years older than gary sanchez
"Montero hasn't delivered completely on his raw power, but he's close to projecting as an 80 hitter with 80 power on the 20-80 scouting scale"-BA
That fits in with my theory that the GCL Yanks could thump the MLB Pirates.
Culver officially on the GCL roster now. maybe he plays today?
No, Cito Culver is not in today's lineup.![]()
But Bryan Mitchell is on the mound today.Originally Posted by yankeelover

Rough debut for Mitchell. After a 1-2-3 first inning, he lost the strike zone in the 2nd, walking 4 batters and giving up a grand slam. 5-0 Tigers.
Youch. Anyone know how his velocity was?Originally Posted by Posada_20
Any update on the game? Did they bounce back?
Bats are silent today. Trailing 5-0 with only 1 hit and 10 strikeouts through 6.Originally Posted by DominicanYankee
They just picked up two in the bottom of the 7th. Maybe they'll pull it out.
anyone have a scouting report on juan marcano?
If the game still is 5 - 1, the relief pitching is doing the job. What pitchers followed Mitchell?Originally Posted by Posada_20
