Yanks Stuff

Johnny Lasagna was pulled after 45 or 50 pitches today, so it looks like he'll get the upcoming spot start.  He's already on the 40 and has already had his TJS, so he's a little like Domingo German.  He could be the starter the Yanks are looking for and, God willing, he will be.

Back to German, Domingo seems to have two fastballs, a variable slider/curve and all those pitches create swing and miss.  So what the hell was he doing throwing changeups in the first last night?  Let them try to catch up with the crazy stuff and save the change for third time through.

Finally, SI starts it's season on June 15 and we should have the initial roster by then, if not that day. It's gotten slower over the years.  Short season teams will be fascinating this year because of these past two drafts and last year's expansive IFA season.  SI used to be very mixed between teens and college guys, back when Nunez and Reegie Corona were the best players.  Then it became more collegiate, but now it will probably be back to mixed.  The remaining teams start around the 18th and then, finally, all the Yankee affiliates will be in action and the talent at the lower levels is mostly dynamic.
