New York Yankees’ Short-Season Affiliate Advances to Finals
The New York Yankees Gulf Coast League affiliate won the GCL finals about a week-and-a-half ago.

Well, more New York Yankees [...]
TweetJohan Santana Not Likely to Return to New York Mets This Season
After wavering back and forth between whether Johan Santana would be able to make a return to the New York Mets this season, it appears that he will not be making a return to Queens in 2011 – not on the field for game action at least. The New York Mets had hoped that Johan [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Could Be Poised for Significant Trade(s) This Offseason
I know there are more pressing things going on with the New York Yankees at the moment than speculative and vague trade talk, but I can’t hold my tongue (fingers) any longer. Looking at the depth of the New York Yankees’ farm system – especially at the catcher and starting pitcher spots – it seems [...]
TweetChris Schwinden Makes MLB Debut for New York Mets
I know this is pretty late, but oh well. The New York Mets…unveiled…a starter who could find himself with some significant innings in 2012. That starter is right-hander Chris Schwinden. In his debut last week, Chris Schwinden did not have a particularly good performance. In fact it is safe to say it was a poor [...]

Even though the New York Mets’ Johan Santana may not be able to make it back to the big league rotation in 2011, will he be stronger next season than he was in 2012? The New York Mets seem to think that there is a solid chance of that. Of course it is only fair [...]
TweetNew York Mets’ Johan Santana Speaks After Rehab Start
The New York Mets’ Johan Santana made a second rehab start at Low-A Savannah last night and spoke with reporters afterwards. Metsblog has some of the notes from Johan Santana’s discussion. On the night, Johan Santana delivered 39 pitches, 27 of which were strikes. The most important thing to me was what Johan Santana said [...]
TweetNew York Yankees DO Decide to Promote Dellin Betances
After some wavering back and forth, the New York Yankees decided to call up top pitching prospect Dellin Betances. This is not for show either. The New York Yankees will be willing to use Dellin Betances in games this month. According to the YES broadcast during last night’s game versus the Los Angeles Angels, Joe [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Sending Several Prospects to the Arizona Fall League
The Arizona Fall League is a great way for some of the game’s top prospects to get some extra work and to continue to develop their game. It is also a great way for organizations to get an extended look at particular prospects and to let important – if not top rated – prospects build [...]
