2010 GCL thread

[mwalvlior]

If the game still is 5 - 1, the relief pitching is doing the job. What pitchers followed Mitchell?

Ended 5-2

Tapia 2IP 1H 1BB 1K
Marcano 4IP 1H 0BB 1K

Sanchez with an RBI in all 3 games

I think I remember Marcano dominating the DSL for a few years.

stats back that up. few hits, lot of walks even more K's.

[njdhockey]

Are the Yankees two Australian prospects (Kyle Perkins and Nathan Aron) going to play for the GCL Yankees?

[Buzah!]

They've both on the roster, but whether they'll play or not is anyone's guess.

[dpbddd99]

Aron has one at bat, no hits.

Marshall reached A level last year and Turley and Richardson have yet to reach the A level in 3 years. Does it mean both Turley and Richardson are a long development project, right?

i think they are taking their time with them.

To be fair to them, this is only their second development year so a year and a start. I think they are both supposed to be in SI at some point this year to take the rotation spots of Green and Elam (or even W. Rodriguez and the empty one at this point). 2011 would be A ball for them. Marshall could work his way back to A ball this year. I hope they take their time bringing him back from injury though. If all goes well he will be in Tampa in 2011.

[yoo-boo]

last year was their first full season. Marshall went more than 80 innings for Charleston and both Turley and Richardson pitched at least 60 innings for lesser than A teams.

Granted, Marshall was drafted way high and has more upside but I would like to know what is the reason to hold Turley and Richardson below Low A.

Off my head,

1. new to pitching when drafted.
2. stuff is just aveage.
3. too many pitchers in higher levels.
4. low upside turning into a journey pitcher.

[yoo-boo]

chase Whitley struck out twice each game as he earned 2 saves. last time I checked Whitely barely toppled out 92 mph. I am kind of hoping I read wrong scouting report. What is his top FB right now?

Marshall has one last rehab start in GCL then heads back to Charleston next week.

[sjkqw]

Already! Then that was a really quick recovery. He had TJS in September.

Well they are not top 40 prospects in our system and maybe one is top 50, but I would have to say 2 in combination with 4. Though I think they aren't that bad. Also Richardson got destroyed in Staten Island last year. Granted, Marshall did get destroyed in Charleston all year. I think it is just higher upside for Marshall and taking it slow with the other guys

[Yankees1962]

He had about 2-3 rehab starts in EST.

[yoo-boo]

He had TJS in June or July. It did mention that he wont be ready until end of this July. I guess he is on the right time. Also, he already reached 93-95 mph FB. Yankees have to be careful with this kid because they already destroyed Garcia and Horne.

I try to get more deep information on Richardson and Turley but pffttt. I guess I have to wait for someone to bring it up in near future.

[Posada_20]

Culver is in the GCL lineup today. Is 0-1 so far.

He's dead to me.

[Posada_20]

Banuelos making his 2nd start today. Could be headed back to High A Tampa after today.

matchup of some tops picks, Biddle is the phillies #1 pick

Yankees have def mishandled pitching prospects at times but Garcia and Horne are not in that conversation. Both prospects have been the epitome of injury prone and owe their medical problems to Mr. Glassness, not some kind of organizational mismanagement.

Horne had TJ surgery before he was even drafted by the Yanks (in college). The questions surrounding him post-injury was the reason he fell to the 11th round, where the Yanks got him.

Garcia had been a pitcher for exactly one year before the Yanks drafted him (he had been a C and was converted to a P in his senior team in HS). Guys who are converted to the mound often encounter arm problems, as their arms simply are not conditioned to the workload that is demanded of a pro SP.

I would say that Joba is probably a better example of someone they mishandled.

[yoo-boo]

I meant all of SP I mentioned were hurt and rushed back into actual games on their watch. Granted, it was fast movement program for him but Joba had not been hurt in the minor system and he had weak health status back in college. Only SP I so far know that survived the Yankees' "surgery and go" program was Wang.

[yoo-boo]

He's dead to me.

you are the most dreadful Yankee fan.

anyways, I am sure I will see a ton of negative comments toward him for 2 years if he finishes a weak season. Jeter did struggle first 2 years in pro.

yes, Although I am inquisitive as to the extent of Jober's offseason regimen

Really? How about Mo? Melancon? Brackman?

[Matsui55]

I was focusing more on the indecision in making him a SP or reliever- and calling him up too early. They should have just left him as a SP and brought him up the next May/June when he should have been ready.

Now, I think that every time he takes the mound as a SP, he is actually thinking that if he doesn't do well, its back to the pen. The Yanks needed to make up their minds 2 years ago- now, it may be too late and Joba will be forever looking over his shoulder as a SP as a Yankee.

[Hughes2.50]

Deluca on the mound today.

Not many rookie teams can sport a four man lead off contingent of:

1) Felix Anderson

2) Cito Culver

3) Gary Sanchez

4) Ramon Flores

All four are eighteen this year and all four are tremendous prospects.

Deluca 1IP 1BB 1K 0R

Sanchez picks off a runner in the first

[Hughes2.50]

Sanchez with a single in the bottom of the first; Flores with a double; Nunez three run homer.

so the book on deluca is very good stuff, but little clue where it is going?

It looks that way.

A good article on Deluca

http://www.nj.com/reporter/index.ssf/2009/08/ny_yankees_sign_pitcher_out_of.html

Basically he was a late sign and the Yankees followed him in the summer where he was hitting 96-97. 500K contract for a 44th round pick just made Commisar Bud delighted.

He's having a tough bottom of the third.

[mwalvlior]

deluca finished 2 2/3IP 4H 3ER 5BB 5K

Sanchez 3 for 4 day

down 9-7

[Hughes2.50]

Culver 1-4 scored on a double by Sanchez (3-4)

[mwalvlior]

sanchez with another runner picked off first? he is doing that like pudge and yadier.

[Hughes2.50]

The second pickoff was by the pitcher, not Sanchez.

He comes manned with a cannon under his right wing.

[Dexter Morgan]

Sanchez seems like an exciting prospect... good defense and a big bat.

i didnt mean it as 2 today, just another cause he has done it a few times now this season. maybe that is wrong.

No, I think you are right. I've got a complaint about Baseball Reference's minor league web site:

They still don't as of today, have Sanchez' stats (not even listed at all) - weird

I know. I'm guessng someone doesn't want anyone to know what's in our system (conspiracy theory)

[Hughes2.50]

He's a huge prospect. The Yankees 3 mill dollar investment appears wise indeed. His potential is off the charts.

He won't be eighteen till December.

[Fabien Brandy]

Hubie Brown: Sanchez's potential is unlimited.

John Thompson: Very unlimited.
