The Yanks Announce the GCL1 Staff

We talked a bit about this the other day.  But Julio Mosquera will officialy coach GCL 1.  His pitching coach will be former Yankee farmhand Elvis Quezada.  Caonabe Cosme will be the hitting coach.  He's 35 and it's his second year as the GCL1 hitting coach, but his 5th year with the organization.  They may have some hopes for him.  Almost hilariously, the "team coach"is a 50 year old named  Antonio Pacheco who spent the bulk of his playing and coaching career in Cuba.  He not going to know anyone!  I guess Omar Luis may still be around.   And the defensive coach will be Luis Figueroa.  He did that job for SI last year.

The GCL will be interesting this year because the Yanks didn't draft sign any preps last year and it looks like they might start this year's college picks in the Appy league.  So they're going to have so fill up 2 full teams with IFA's, 2015 prep picks and rehab guys.   I hope they have enough pitchers.
