This is the last of the Questions for 2011 series and it’ll be pretty brief. I’m not going to look much on the macro level, just at a few key players.
Slade Heathcott: We saw patience from Heathcott in 2010–.101 IsoD–but his IsoP was under .100 and that’s not good. So the [...]
Recent news from a number of Yankee beat writers is that Gustavo Molina, not Jesus Montero or Austin Romine, is now the front-runner to win the Yankee backup catcher job to begin the season. There are several likely explanations for this decision. I imagine the main reason for the decision is that the Yankees have [...]
As fans, we tend to treat athletes like commodities, automatons who are supposed to perform with a certain level of proficiency purely for our enjoyment. We boo when they fail, justifying this by dint of our having purchased a ticket, as if that gives us some level of ownership in the team and, by extension, [...]
Anthony McCarron fills us in on the purported competition between Jesus Montero and Austin Romine for the backup catcher spot:
Girardi said Austin Romine is still competing with Jesus Montero for the backup catcher’s job, at least while recovers. Both [...]
4 years ago, the Yankee farm system was enjoying its first revival in half a decade. After years of terrible drafts and an overall barren system, the Yankees managed to very quickly add to the top of their farm system and become one of the best organizations in baseball, at least temporarily. I [...]
Baseball Prospectus recently published their annual book which is a must read for baseball fans. They’ve also been rolling out some changes to their stats, many of which show up in the annual. The biggest change is their fielding metric, FRAA which you can find out about here. Using FRAA and TAv, or true average [...]
A quote from Mark Newman caught my eye last week:
SICKELS: What about your weaknesses?
NEWMAN: Corner players with power. We have (Brandon) Laird who is a solid prospect, but we are thin for corner bats otherwise in the system. We always try to take the best players available in the draft and on [...]
Yesterday, I posted a piece musing on whether or not Mark Buehrle and/or Chris Carpenter would be come available during the season and whether or not the Yankees should be interested in trading for either one. For the purpose of this post, let’s assume they both are available and the Yankees are interested in [...]
Yesterday, I announced a new prospect rating system that I wanted to use to rank Yankee prospects. There are significant changes from my list half a year ago, mostly because the rating system forced me to more logically think out the rankings, but also because some offseason news changed my opinions slightly.
To refresh: [...]
Entering 2011, the Yankees farm system is in pretty good shape. With a lot of the consensus top 10 picks in the AA- AAA range, many Yankee fans have high expectations. While I think that optimism is certainly well founded, I also think we should keep things in perspective. Prospects fail. That isn’t a controversial [...]
