I don’t know if it is a case of pitchers not being able to hold runners on, poor catching, great speed or a combination of all of that, but look at the SB numbers of some of those prospects. Impressive.









Minor League Action from 8-18-22. A good night for our favorite “Martian”.

AAA: SWB’s game ppd.

AA: Somerset (68-42, 1st half division champs) lost 10-2.
SS Jesus Bastidas solo HR (14)

Deivi Garcia (L, 1-1) 5 IP, 6 R, 5 H, 2 W, 4 K. 2 HBP 6.20 (AA ERA) #26 prospect. (See below)

Loseke 2 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 1 W, 4 K. Gave up 1 HR. 3.26

I have to say that I find it amazing that Deivi Garcia is still listed as the Yankees’ #26 prospect. He was 3-7, 6.85 at AAA last year. This year, between AAA and AA (and he was demoted from AAA to AA), he is 1-4, 8.36. Serious, serious, regression. I’m shocked he is even listed in the top 30 right now.

Minor League Action from 8-11-22. Schmidt brilliant at AAA. #1 draft pick Jones HRs.

Recent Internet articles advocate a couple of moves the Yanks should make that I also have been advocating for a while. A) bring Clarke Schmidt back up B) bring back up Ron Marinaccio C) bring up Estevan Florial. Of course, moves would have to be made to accommodate bringing those three players back up, but Clarke Schmidt really made a case for himself last night, with six no-hit innings and eleven strikeouts.
