Yanks Stuff

Yanks finally lost a Spring Training game today, but it wasn't for lack of awesomeness or trying.  In the first, Stanton singled and El Gary hit one they may not have landed yet. Sort of meaningless, but this could be his year.  Gleyber Torres tried a mitt flip to start a DP but missed badly and then, rather than pick him up, Cessa promptly gave up a 3 run jack, then a solo shot. Good thing we probably won't see him this year.   Yanks fell behind 6-2, then loaded the bases for Estevan Floria who singled in two runs and then went from first to third on a wild pitch.  This team is significantly faster when Tyler Wade and Florial are in the lineup.  Sheesh.  Anyway, got some bad pitching today, and Betances was in bad part of the season form.  They play the Phillies, yet again, tomorrow.

I hope this can continue post-Denbo.

6. One thing I’ve noticed this last week is that holy cow, the Yankees’ minor leaguers have been so much more impressive than minor leaguers with other teams. It’s not just the teams the Yankees are playing. I’ve watched lots of baseball the last few days, both Grapefruit League and Cactus League, and the Yankees seem to have more talent than other clubs. The various scouting publications say New York’s farm system is second best in the game behind the Braves and I can see why. These kids are talented, they know how to play the game, and many of them are close to the big leagues. The pitchers all seem to throw 96 with nasty hooks and the position players all have power or speed or both. I get the Tigers didn’t send their A-team on the road yesterday, but they were running relievers throwing 90-92 mph with no command out to the mound. The Yankees had their third tier arms (Brady Lail and Will Carter, for example) on the mound throwing mid-90s. It has been eye-opening. The Yankees have gobs of talent and a very deep farm system, and that talent has been on display already this spring. It’s awfully fun.

Andujar is making his case. Not just for 3rd but for the next impact bat.

Yes, and he probably needs to play everyday in MLB now to get there.
