Flores and Maquinito are killing it; Stoneburner better be as hot as his name sounds.
Then again, when you pitch like that.
Stoneburner’s the real deal. Power fastball/slider guy with excellent control. Might end up in the bullpen, but I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t pan out.
His development of a changeup will go a long way to determine if he’s gonna start or be in the pen in the bigs.
I’m digging mitchell’s statline tonight. I’m curious, is his ceiling higher or lower than jose ramirez’s?
Drastically lower.
I DEFINITELY wouldn’t say that.
He was probably thinking about DJ, that’s who I thought of at first.
Yes, yes he was…I still like Jose more than Bryan Mitchell.
Mitchell’s super legit. He’s on par with Ramirez in prospect status, maybe a touch below because he’s in a short season league.
Mitchell projects more as a middle reliever. Athletic sinkerballer with fringy offspeed stuff, has trouble with LH hitters.
Ramirez is a potential top of rotation guy if he gets his breaking ball to an average pitch. Good fastball in the low 90′s with a good changeup.
That’s D.J. I assume he meant Bryan since he pitched tonight.
Yeah, I read your assessment and thought, wait, really? And then realized my mistake.
Yes, I immediately thought DJ Mitchell, who is still a good guy to have in the organization.
Oh wait, hah, I misread that as DJ Mitchell. Yeah, Bryan Mitchell is a really good prospect, slightly behind Ramirez because he’s in GCL still but decent fastball with a good breaking ball already at 19 is pretty nice. Good projectable frame too.
haha yeah I meant bryan. its alright we all make mistakes
“Athletic sinkerballer”
/racialeuphemism’d
I was under the impression that mitchell possesses one of the best curveballs in the yankee system. A legit put away pitch. That’s why I thought his ceiling would be similar to ramirez’s. That and the fact that by the time he fully matures he should be able to sit 92-94 comfortably.
We need to make a collective commitment at RAB to call both Bryan Mitchell and D.J. Mitchell by their full names.
Otherwise, this is gonna get confusing.
Say “I” if you are in favor of “The Mitchell,” for Bryan Mitchell, and “The Other Mitchell,” for D.J. Mitchell. Say “I hate America” if you oppose.
Let’s go with B-itch for Bryan Mitchell, I can’t see any other way to abbreve the name.
There are reports of him repeatedly hitting 95. Dude could be a stud.
You’re thinking of DJ Mitchell. Bryan Mitchell has a low 90s four-seamer and a big 12 to 6 curveball. He’s 19 with a lot of projection in his arm and body. As Mike said, he’s comparable to Ramirez…Jose’s got the plus change-up.
Yeah…this was already established before you posted this, haha.
is it just me or brackman hasn’t been pitching?
it’s you, unless every 5 days isnt enough.
if he can’t pitch every day then he’s clearly a bust
Maybe Elam slipped the ump a $20 pregame. That would make sense.
For anyone interested, I have a profile going up on Shaeffer Hall tomorrow AM at TYU. He’s in the top 3 in 6 of 8 categories on the PP org charts, yet there’s very little info out there on the guy. It’s called “The Best Yankee Prospect You’ve Never Heard of”.
BTW-There’s a reason why he doesn’t get hyped. His stuff is underwhelming. Great command, works quickly. Marl Buerhle type if he pans out.
It’s called “The Best Yankee Prospect You’ve Never Heard of”.
There’s actually an even better Yankee prospect, Steve… but you haven’t heard of him.
Oh damn, now I’ll NEVER get to sleep!
(thinks out loud)..who could it be, who could it be?
heyoo
Marl Buerhle type if he pans out.
Interesting. I’m going to assume this guy is amazing.
You know Marl? I love that guy.
I doubt he ever becomes Buerhle. I’d assume that’s his absolute ceiling.
Hence the description being “Mark Buerhle type if he pans out”
Panning out, doesn’t necessarily mean reaching absolute ceiling.
Also Mark Buerhle Type doesn’t necessarily mean Carbon Copy of Mark Buerhle but younger. It just means that he will likely be a pitcher with a style similar to Buerhle and if he reaches his ceiling then he could be as good as him.
Good command of inferior stuff usually doesn’t lead to big league success, odds are definitely against him. His minors numbers are awesome in just about every way but this is the type of situation where looking at stats could be misleading and need to be combined with scouting reports. Looking forward to it nonetheless.
Agreed on all accounts.
Why did Stonebrunner and Ramirez only go five innings? What was their PC?
I believe it has to do with innings limitations.
Innings limit. You’ll see most of the starters capped at 5-6 innings this time of year.
I like Sosa’s nice run and Mesa’s resurgence
Wilson Ramos since being traded to the Nats: .400/.400/.733 in AAA
scariest part is his first game was 0-3 and he still has those thru 4 games. no laird, but hey, not everyone can be.
Brandon Laird: not a catcher
really? never would have guessed.
But aren’t all good Yankee hitting prospects catchers?
The Yankees have good prospects?
The Yankees have prospects?
He likes being in Syracuse?
maybe he likes being out of rochester? or he could hate syracuse and is trying to force his way to DC.
Impossible. Nobody likes being in Syracuse.
/shitstarting’d
You’re dead to me
Someone’s over-valuing what the other side gave up…I’m guessing it’s the Twins.
Great pitching night. Pendleton was really strong until the end of his stint, and that combined 1-hitter in SI is awesome despite it not being attached to a strong prospect.
Jose Quintana appears to know what he is doing (http://www.minorleaguesplits.c.....?pl=500779).
Wait, how’d you link an individual player page at minorleaguesplits.com? I’ve never figured out how to do it.
minorleaguesplits.com > yankees > gcl yankees > jose quintana > copy/paste link
copy and paste the URL. Maybe I just got lucky.
There’s also an AWESOME extension that allows you to do that if you’re using Chrome. Basically, there’s an icon next to your URL bar that you click on and a search bar pops up. Seven different databases are available and when you type a player’s name in, it opens a different tab for each database you select. It’s the shit.
Btw, the extension is called, “baseball player search”, for anyone who’s using Chrome.
Too bad he’s older than Montero in the GCL.
Isn’t he also 21 and half and pitching in GCL? Seems like a non-prospect.
Mitchell last 2 starts: 10IP 2H 2BB 10K.
anyone have any velocity reading? pre draft he was 91-93 with a plus curve.
Apparently he’s still around there but he can run it up to 95.
If those reports (hitting 95) are true then that’s very impressive for a 19 year old.
Does Kuo have a translator? Just curious in light of Ozzie’s recent comments
Yes. His translator only speaks Taiwanese and Spanish, though, so it doesn’t help him that much.
/irony’d
I thought this as well, when I was watching the Whitesox game.
Does
KuoOzzie have a translator? Just curious in light of Ozzie’s recent commentsFTFY.
So where does Jose Ramirez start next season? Does Tampa with a mid-season move up to AA (if he does well) sound reasonable?
Seems very aggressive but Yanks do like to push their top prospects through the system at accelerated pace if they really like them.
I still think most likely he spends all of next year in Tampa.
Agreed, maybe a late season call-up to Trenton, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Ramirez is still young, so there’s no need to rush him.
seems a no-brainer, unless something drastic happens de ahora hasta entonces
Re: Tonight
Yawn. I’ll be back tomorrow for Brackmeezy and Zeus!
just realized that Stoneburner is def playing for the right team: anybody knows what his name would be if u translate it to German? Steinbrenner!!
why do you think they drafted him? thats the only reason
is david adams done for the season?
