So, who had five starts in the “how long before Chris Garcia ends up back on the DL” pool? I set the over/under at 6.5 starts back in May, so congrats to everyone who said under.
Robert Pimpsner of Baby Bombers tells me the Yanks have signed 11th round Neil Medchill & 40th rounder Ben Watkins, and assigned both to Short Season Staten Island. And because I know you’re curious with the draft just passing and all, the Staten Island season starts next Friday on June 19th, and the Rookie GCL Yanks starts the following Tuesday on June 23rd.
