Just silly.
"I see Jesus Montero as a potential once-in-a-generation force on offense."
The GCL Yankees having a day off may be the only way to keep this dude from getting hits
fans already trying to rush the kid to the bigs.BenBadler No, they like him at C RT @brothertona I think if they moved him to RF, he could make the majors in 3 years. think they might consider it?
The cool thing about Sanchez is that unlike Montero we have the luxury of seeing if our catching prospects ahead of him pan out before making a decision on whether or not to keep him at C. If his defense can't keep up with offense and we don't need him to be a C we can always move him to RF or wherever and let him move a bit quicker.
True overall, and cases like McAllister and CoJo that seemed like reaches have validated the Yankee approach thus far. It's just that Culver was so far out of nowhere as a 1st rounder with so much talent on the board that went to division rivals that Culver to me needs to show something.Originally Posted by Yankees1962

Culver with a 2-run triple in the 1st today.
Rehabbing Mitre got the start ... 5 Ks in 2 IP
clear, concise, correct
guess bryan mitchell took that as a challenge since he has 6K's in 2IP
Anderson Felix with the big blow, a 3 run HR, in a 5 run half inning. GCL Yanks now up 7-0.
Felix 1-3 HR 3RBI 2K
Culver 1-2 3B 2RBI
Sanchez 0-3
Kelvin Duran 2-3 1RBI 1SB
15 strikeouts (12 swinging) in a 7 inning game ... very nice.
clear, concise, correct
Sanchez 2-5 2B 1RBI 1SB 1K
Culver 1-4 2B 1RBI 2K
Richardson good outing 5IP 1H 2BB 1ER 3K
Anyone going to the Tampa Yankees games in Jupiter Florida on July 14, 15, 16, or 17?

Guys, dont get attached to the God that is Gary Sanchez, he won't be in Yankee uniform 4 years from now.
lets not be that bitter.
celebrate the glory that is 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
Or because the Yankees are so confident in him that they are willing to trade away Jesus?
At this rate, is it Charleston or Tampa high A for Sanchez next year?
i say he starts at charleston and maybe moves up to tampa 2nd half?
Would Higashioka move up to Tampa in that scenario, despite a poor year?
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
no but they could split catching letting sanchez do DH/C like they did with montero and romine? obviously higgy wouldnt dh when gary catches.
could be a chance but Murphy will be around also
well if murphy has 2/3rds of the year at charleston under his belt maybe he moves up.
oh your right I forgot he has been there for a while now.
If that happens than who in SI? Perkins possibly?
I love Gary but I don't think you put an 18 year old in the fsl, start him in c-town and if he dominates move him up
"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
Its very doubtful Gary starts in Tampa next year, they will want to get him acclimated to full-season ball first and as you said if he dominates will move up depending on if theirs room.

The only reason I raised Tampa is that there admittedly isn't much in front of him there next season. I agree Charleston would be the right decision, but I just wonder if the Yanks really care whether Sanchez is a long-term C or not.
I think that Montero and Romine will easily get to NY before Sanchez, and even if he is a star, it might be hard to dislodge either one when Sanchez gets to NY. I just wonder whether the Yanks might be more interested in seeing how his bat plays- and if it is as good as we think, whether they will be more interested, as Buzah often speculates, in seeing whether that bat can play at 3B?
Who knows, I'd wager he is a better hitter than romine and a better defender than montero, while having a chance to be better than both in any direction. I'd have him play catcher till the high minors if romine or montero have established themselves in the majors

All singles?
Gary is kinda good

You are counting on a lot of things to go right though -- Montero may not be a viable C, and as good as Romine looks, far better prospects have flamed out. I think you have to keep him at C if you think he can handle it.

Yep....

High BABIP...
It's a sign he is great hitter/kiethlaw
i dont know what it is after today, but coming into the game it was an absurd .487, his luck adjusted line is still pretty though .317/.428/.593 1.021 ops

Bonkers. He and Dellin are going to force the Yankees hand [RE: protocol] if they both continue to ................ on the GCL and FSL respectively.
"I see Jesus Montero as a potential once-in-a-generation force on offense."
To be fair, when you are hitting .400, your BABIP is gonna be quite high.
It wont take long to see if he is gonna get a correction or if he is just finding this level far too easy. If I had to guess, I'd say he is just finding it easy.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
I definitely wasn't being serious with my post. Just adding fuel to an ongoing fire.
Are there any 17 year old's in the Sally league? If not...there should be
My bad...as you were.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Completely agree. Plus his trade value will be higher if kept at the C position unless he is simply terrible there doesn't look like he can stick at the position. In that situation you move him to prove that he can play other positions and also to try potentially find a position for him on the Yankees.
Guys like David Adams and Corban Joseph still play 2B even though they have little hope of playing that position with the Yankees.
Hopefully Adams can make it back this year. If not, maybe he will be able to play in the Arizona Fall League to make up for so much lost development time this year.
there was, it didnt go so well for him. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/m...pbp&pid=570267

Except Santana played the majority of the 2009 GCL season [40 games] before he went into the SAL this year, whereas this is Gary's first season in pro ball. Not to mention Santana struck out in nearly 40% of his atbats (44 of 118) with just 15 BB's during that GCL year. Gary has K'd around 25% with a k/bb rate of 16:9.

i wasnt saying gary would struggle, just noted that its tough to play full season ball as a 17 year old
"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
I hear you and I agree. I admit I'm very intrigued by the idea of him in the Sally.
