Yanks: Charleston and SI Name Their Coaches
Patrick Osborn is the new Manager of SI, and he's replacing Mario Garza, who was given a new job on the International side. Osborn was the Manager for Yankees GCL2 last year. And he's another member of the young blood, along with Norton and Chapman. His new PC Butch Henry, has had success coaching for several other teams, including the Red Sox and Astros, and also coached for an Indy League team for a few years.
Ty Hawkins is their all-time hitting coach, and he'll be returning. Also, new to the farm as a coach, is Eric Duncan! The one time top prospect will be coaching defense.
Some interesting stuff. Really like the hitting and pitching coaches at Charleston, and will be really interested to see, how the young coaches and new coaches progress.

The most interesting bidding war this off-season won't be Lester, or Scherzer but rather Cuban INF Yoan Moncada with #Dodgers #Yankees

Either sign him, or stop bullshitting the fans and do something else for a living.
It would be funny if he sign's with Pittsburgh.
Kale -- which pitching prospects do you see starting out at Charleston this year? I would have thought Hensley before the injury, and maybe he'll still go there. Thanks for posting, it does seem as if some direction is coming into the system.
Literally zero excuse not to sign Moncada given his perceived upside.
Stottlemyre. Not really sure. Would have though Hensley and DeCarr, and Rookie Davis, but not really sure and lots of candidates. Could be a bunch of those college pitchers we took last year to start, and then have the younger guys come up from EST.
Jim Bowden, what a clown. I'm 100% not shocked you follow him.
It's Moncada or bust and I think the Yanks are not going after any big FA due to the fact that to sign Moncada will cost practically 70+mil UP FRONT.
That's an exorbitant cost that we cannot lose out on.
I hope we sign Moncada just so people can get off Refsnyder as if he's the next best thing. Highly regarded top prospects come up and struggle (polanco/taveras) and we were expectign Refs to come up and boost the offense, when he will probably give it all back on defense.
PREVENTING RUNS IS JUST AS, IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THEN SCORING RUNS.
Can't be more important. And pitching will always be the majority of D.
Anyway, agree mightily on Moncada.
Billy, I'm going to have to disagree. You have to score runs to win, and as Phil said, much of defense is pitching. I don't think anyone expects Refs to be the next big thing as much as they hope he's give a fair shot with time to develop. As I've said a million times, let him learn 2B in a year they aren't winning the World Series anyway.
When it comes to Ref's some look at him from the angle of let him learn at the ML level and I get why they feel that way.Most of us who post here follow the minor leagues and see there could be a benefit to doing that. The truth is were in the minority .Most fans going to games don't know much about the minors and wouldn't support Ref's after a bad game but look at him as the goat who just blew a game they just spent 600 dollars to bring their family to and that's why letting him learn the position better at AAA isn't a bad thing. Lets see where he is in ST because from what i saw in August wasn't even a AAA second basemen.( Glove Only)
