Two years ago today on DotF, Eric Duncan went 3 for 3 with a pair of homers, and I foolishly started to believe that he might be putting it together.
Jesus Montero was the hottest prospect in the minors this week, and I’ve heard some rumblings that the Yanks are ready to move either Montero or Austin Romine up to Double-A so both guys can catch on a full-time basis. Montero’s the clear favorite for the promotion.
Ray Kruml was placed on the DL with a lower body injury, and JB Cox was disabled with an unknown injury. Also, the college baseball postseason started tonight, and The College Baseball Blog has got you covered.
