The Official 2012-2013 Yankees Prospect Thread

[Webslinger]

Bingo.

It's shocking that fans on here are so dense they still haven't figured this out. That was a not a good trade at the time.

Adam Warren took a no-no into the 8th yesterday. SWB Yanks won in the 11th.

We should all remember his spot start a few weeks ago. 2+ innings or so, 6 runs I think.

Hopefully he's found a nice groove!

Who's our best outfielder to be called up soon? Now that mason is injured and all

Even if Mason was healthy there was no way he gets called up to the majors. Unless you meant promoted to a higher level, which would also have been unlikely.

Musteiler probably would have gotten the nod

Musteiler isn't a great outfielder, he's an infielder..3B is his natural position.

Wise woulda been out best option, but we let him go.

Romine back and Dickerson and Zoilo homer again

[LeoYankee]

Phoba!

Give me some pointers on who to gravitate towards on the Tampa team. I'm practicing with them next weekend.

Bummed Mason got hurt. Probably won't meet him now.

Thanks,

Leo

The Yankees have signed 24-year-old RHP Zach Woods out of an independent league. He has decent numbers this year to go along with a four-pitch mix and a fastball that reportedly touches 94. This is the time of year when clubs will reel in some indy ballers and hope one of them provides some useful of big league innings down the line.


Triple-A Empire State (5-2 loss to Rochester)

CF Chris Dickerson: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 BB, 1 K — 14 hits in his last 32 at-bats (.438) with three doubles and two homers
2B Corban Joseph: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — he’s been slumping pretty hard of late, good to see him get off the schneid a bit
SS Eduardo Nunez & LF Ronnie Mustelier: both 1-4 — Nunez struck out once, Mustelier twice
C Austin Romine & CF Melky Mesa: both 0-3 — Romine struck out once, Mesa twice

RHP Manny Delcarmen: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 0/1 GB/FB — ten of 14 pitches were strikes

LF Ramon Flores: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 CS
CF Slade Heathcott: 3-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 SB – the power numbers are very good, but he’s also 15-for-18 in stole base attempts
RF Tyler Austin: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — first homer at this level
1B Kyle Roller: 2-4, 2 R, 2 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — the best part? both triples came in the same inning
C Gary Sanchez: 3-5, 3 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI — it’s been an adjustment since the promotion, so hopefully this gets him going

DH Kelvin DeLeon: 0-5, 2 K
SS Yadil Mujica: 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K

RHP Zach Nuding: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2/8 GB/FB — I’d say the shoulder isn’t fatigued anymore

Slade Heathcott is a big surprise. Definitely putting up solid numbers, and stealing quite a few bases. He could be one to watch closely.

Slade Heathcott is a big surprise. Definitely putting up solid numbers, and stealing quite a few bases. He could be one to watch closely.

With his tools he will always be someone to watch. A great example is Melky Mesa. He flew under the radar but because of his tools the Yankees never gave up on him, now he is about 1/2 of a good season away from playing in the show.

[nyyfan4life]

Mesa is on the 40 man roster. I hope we see him in September. He has pop, good speed and plus defensive skills. He can be a good guy to have on the post-season roster, IMO. Not that it will likely ever happen with us having guys like Swisher, Granderson, Ichiro, Ibanez and Jones. Who are all OF's.

[RCSownsU]

Okay..question..

Say we let swisher walk..

Who can play RF for us next year in the minors that could possibly put up decent numbers with some power..I'm really not high on ronnie as he isnt too good in the outfield, he would make a nice bench player though.

[YEDN90]

I dont think we have anyone in the minors other than Ronnie who could step in, personally. Most of our talent is at a lower level, which you're aware of.

The FA class is extremely lacking too. We're either going to have to pay out of the nose to sign someone (Melky), or settle for a lesser player (Luke Scott). The two players I used are merely examples.

Catcher is also a concern.

Or bring back Swisher for somewhere in between

[YEDN90]

Also, we better hope Gardy comes back strong or our OF is going to be ugly if we let Swish walk.
