Yankees Farm: Gittens Smacks Three Jacks

Barrel chested Chris Gittens, and JuCo pick from 2 years ago hit three jacks for Charleston last night.  That's sort of hard to do in the Sally, and he now has 11, and probably should be promoted.  Since the Yanks took over the Charleston affiate in 2005 or so, only Jesus Montero, Peter O'Brien and Greg Bird have come anywhere near hitting 20 for the River Dogs.  Gittens was drafted one round ahead of Bo Thompson, who is currently batting under .200 for the Tampa Yanks and it might be time to flip them.  That would reward Chris and perhaps be a needed wakeup call for Bo.  Chris still has a little too much swing and miss, but when he doesn't miss the ball should be issued a passport.   We'll see what happens.  Both Charleston and Tampa won their first half titles, which is unusual, and the all star games are coming right up.
