– The second edition of 2012, covering April 16th – April 22 games –
Pitcher:
DJ Mitchell, 24, RHP, AAA
8 IP, 7 K, 1 BB, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 HR
Notable: 2.12 ERA over 17 IP, 3.08 FIP
One of the three pitchers who was reportedly in the running for the long relief spot out of Spring Training (which went to David Phelps), Mitchell went eight innings and allowed only two hits versus Rochester (Triple-A for the Twins). The soon-to-be 25-year old (in May) really has nothing left to prove in the minors.
As we’ve remarked several times in the past few months, Mitchell’s future with the Yankees looks very limited, especially with the additions of Pineda and Pettitte pushing him further down the depth chart. In fact, Phelps would still be in AAA if if weren’t for injuries. However, with Pineda being shut down and poor performances by Freddy Garcia and Phil Hughes, Mitchell may have a glimmer of hope of cracking the Bronx.
Hitter:
Gary Sanchez, 19, RHB C, A
454/.478/.636 in 23 PAs
Notable: 4 2B, 1 BB, 3 SBs
The heir to the Montero throne, Sanchez logged 10 hits on the week, including four doubles. He also stole 3 bases, and get this…they all came in one game. In fact, he’s stolen 5-for-5 on the season (career-high), in addition to hitting .356/.414/.458 in 55 PAs.
Honorable Mentions:
Jose Campos, 19, RHP, A
11 IP, 12 K, 2 BB, 12 H, 3 ER, 0 HR
Two more impressive starts from other piece in the Montero deal, 23 K / 5 BB in 22 IP for the season
Nik Turley, 22, LHP, A+
12.1 IP, 14 K, 4 BB, 10 H, 3 ER, 0 HR
Another solid week for the lefty. 27 K / 9 BB in 23.1 IP for the season
Pedro Guerra, 22, RHP, A
3 IP, 7 K, 1 BB, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 HR
6 appearances in 2012, 14 K / 2 BB in 10 IP
Tyler Austin, 20, RHB COF/1B/3B, A
.333/.384/.625 in 26 PAs (2 2B, 3B, HR, 2/2 SBs)

17 BB in 17.1 IP this season

It’s safe to say that even tho Montero had the son of Rivera thing going for him, Sanchez may lend itself to more and funnier running jokes. Or maybe just a single hilarious running joke. And by running I mean drippy.
Betances doing his best to get the Brackman treatment?

Once again, when it comes to developing high-end pitching, the Yankees look like they’re going to fail again, this time with Betances. Banuelos has looked awful too.

Is it too early to call the Montero trade Jesus for Campos?
Brian S. April 24, 2012 02:52
Even though Pineda has a bigger dong, Campos seems like the real deal.
Brian S. April 24, 2012 14:54
Pineda is uncut.

Can we stop hyping prospect starters because they end up much better if they’re not hyped. That is all. Eat dicks.
Brett Pedroia April 23, 2012 16:55

Betances is a shitty version of of Daniel Cabrera.
Mike Pineda April 23, 2012 18:58
My dead shoulder ain’t blocking anyone from making the show
benchwarmer April 23, 2012 22:16
Pineda’s shoulder looks like New Jersey. It’s a cesspool.
Jay Destro April 24, 2012 14:55
You’re so funny! Eat dicks.
