4th Place?! Cashman is a failure! All that money and all he can come up with is 4th best in the AL East. Unacceptable!

Pete Abe has a couple of sentences about scouts raving about the Yankees minor league pitching depth. It’s good to hear that other teams value some of the Yanks pitchers as much as we do.

Nah, Tillman already has 135.2 IP in Baltimore’s organization after completing the Double-A level – he only had 166.2 IP within the M’s farm system. Seeing as how he’s not going to break camp with the Orioles, he is going to surpass his innings total with the Orioles in comparison with the M’s.

Whenever Melvin decides he’d like to come stateside.

Right now, he prefers to stay in the DSL because he’d like to continue his charity work of helping the Dominican poor affected by this global economic downturn. Every night after the game he takes five loaves of bread and two fishes and feeds the entire nation.

Meh, the M’s should never really get credit for anything.

The Yanks have nine 23 year old + C grade pitchers, 12% of their systems' value, plus Joba Chamberlain in the 8th inning, so they should be able to fill out a bullpen rather cheaply for the next few seasons.

Fixed.

Can you call Chris Tillman homegrown? He came over in the Bedard deal. The M’s should get credit for him.
