David Phelps is the only player out there yet to make his debut, but he will soon. Maybe even tomorrow.

    Just trying to get some fans guesses on a few players in the minors next year. What do you think will happen to Kevin Russo, Greg Golson, Justin Maxwell, Doug Bernier. These are the 4 off the top of my head I was wondering about. Thanks

      All of those players provide nice depth. .. Don’t forget about Colin Curtis.

        Do you know their contract status though? I like all of them a lot but believe they are all FA’s. If they are will they be brought back?

    Would you say that out of those four players, Burawa is the only one that has a shot of making it on the Yankees?

      Chase Whitley should make the grade for the Yanks.

    I saw Burawa in the Cape Cod league last year. At least 10 MLB scouts believed he’d make the majors. I know, because I asked all of them.
