Very rarely does a high schooler go to the NY-Penn League, because it's basically like playing against a bunch of college juniors and seniors. Off the top of my head, the only guy I can think of that went straight to NY-P from HS is Scott Kazmir, and he flat out dominated; 18 IP, 5 H, 34 K. Angelini, if he signs, will go to the GCL.

He'll tease you for a few days, then revert to abysmal. Here's a case in which the Yankees should have sent him down at least one level to demonstrate that he can succeed somewhere. Hurt his confidence? What kind of confidence could he have left? I have long been an Eric Duncan skeptic, and I sense that others are coming around to my view.

He's back now, but I still might end up doing it tomorrow. Zack, there wasn't another SI game on the schedule, I thought there would have been two as well, considering the rainout on Tuesday. But apparently there was not. Re: DoTF. I’ve been writing it in Mike’s absence. He’s back now, but I still might end up doing it tomorrow.

I think you missed a Staten Island game too, no? Didn't they play 2? Oh well... Karstens stinks and should be replaced by Edwar. Brower I guess could get one more shot, and they do seem wedded to the idea of a long man, but come on. If we take both of them away, Torre should have no choice but to use them. Henn seems to be doing pretty well, still, in AAA too and if used normally could be as good/better than Villone, no? Snyder is tearing up the place, promotion?

Is this rehab by fire or just stupidity?

Brett G, even though the BA @ AAA isn’t great should be a Sept 1 call up as a pinch runner specialist
