Interesting Day in Yankee Land

Okay, we have our first Ringer Alert!   The puzzling second round second baseman, Gosuke Katoh homered in his second GCL AB. Hmmm.   Also, power arm RHP Luis Severino K'd the first 6 batters he faced and worked 4 innings of 1 run ball.  I have no idea if the run was earned but he has a nuclear fastball, plus and change and curve.   He's only about 6'1" so let's hope they don't summarily throw him in the pen.   Btw, I love to see dominating K-rates from our pitching prospects.  

Next, Peter O'Brien, who was destroying the Sally League and was a college pick last year, got promoted to the FSL. So he's probably caught up with a lot of the college picks from his draft.    Curiously, Gary Sanchez has not been promoted yet, though he should have been.   O'Brien needs work behind the plate and Sanchez does great work behind the plate.   RHP Alex Smith was also promoted.

On the big league club they have DFA'd Reid Brignac and called up Alberto Gonzalez.   What's more they are starting Zolio Almonte in the OF.   Busy day!


UPDATE:  Josh Norris is reporting the Peter O'Brien will be playing 3rd Base for Tampa.   This is really interesting because Jagielo, who's injured has been assigned to Charleston.   But when he gets healthy Dante Bichette Jr. could be boxed in.   Man, that kid should have listened to his coaches instead of his Dad.
